Emails ping and calls vibrate, reminding us that the day job is vying for attention. Coordinating group shots can be an achievement in itself. Everybody in one place, at the same time, perhaps only for minutes before the shift starts, trains leave or other meetings beckon. I’m pragmatic about this, everyone is busy and I approach group photography with a fleet of foot. Assessing the space, composing and setting up the shot prior to arrivals ideally. Bag the shots whilst the smiles are natural, and faces relaxed. When the smiles fail to reach the eyes and hands delve to retrieve buzzing phones, time’s usually up!
