When planning on where photography should take place, please consider the following:
- Allocate rooms suitable for individual photography and groups if indoor photography is required or in the case of inclement weather (hall, gym, etc).
- Please ensure that the rooms have sufficient space for classes to wait nearby, minimising distractions for the students being photographed and the rest of the school.
- Avoid rooms that could create bottlenecks that could disrupt the photo sessions and overall school environment.
The rooms need to be an adequate size to accommodate our equipment and still allow space for our staff and students to move around the room.
PORTRAIT SPACE REQUIREMENTS
Each portrait setup needs a minimum area of 5 × 5 metres.
How much space is that?
The space required for set-up is roughly equivalent to a medium-sized parked
car with open doors. This allows the space we need for photography and safe
and easy traffic flow.
GROUP SPACE REQUIREMENTS
Standard Class Groups – Minimum Space:
Height: 4 m
Width: 6–8 m
Depth: 8–10 m
How much space is that?
The space required is equivalent to half a basketball court for single groups, or a whole court for large graduation groups, etc. Depending on your school facilities, photography can take place in the gym or in a space of equivalent size.
