Get in Close! SUMMARY: Don't cut out someone's face when taking portrait photos.
When taking a photo of a group of people, don't be afraid to tell them to get in closer together. This is often necessary to ensure everyone's full face is in the LCD or viewfinder. You don't want to crop someone's ear, and you don't want to lose half of someone's face in the final photograph. Make sure everyone's face is well inside the frame in case you have to rotate and crop the photo later to make it straight.
