GROUP pictures fall into two classes—the formally arranged, and the informal, unposed type. Of these, the latter tends to be more interesting and pictorially superior. In formal groupings, the subjects are usually jest lined up and plc- tured looking at the camera. But informal arrangements allow great variety of placing, and admit of more naturalness in pose and ex- pression. Each group, of course, differs— but here are a couple of suggestions which will be helpful in picturing any of them, First, avoid regularity —such as similar poses, or a level line of heads. And, whenever pos- sible, arrange things so that all of the interest within the group is con- centrated on one point. Suclt, a center of interest is easily obtained. For example, let one per- son appear to -be talking—perhaps emphasizing' a statement by means of a gesture—while the others listen. Or, let the central figure be exhibit- ing something—a book, a gift, or any other suitable article—while the others - observe and admire. That's the principle which holds our illus- tration together as a composition. However, a "center of interest," let us hasten to note, need not be centered In the picture space. In- deed, for an informal picture 11 shouldn't be centered, Usually It's best if it's somewhat off center, as in our illustration, or placed in an upper or lower quarter of the pic- ture—for those spots are the "strong points" of any composition. Remember that the next time you take a group picture, and try to avoid stiff, formai groupings, Infor- mal group pictures which tell a story are ever so much more inter- esting, and, surprisingly, much more fun to make, John van Guilder
