In your group photos do you include the feet and lower body of the subjects and why?
Should be an interesting discussion. :P

Because it is usually connected to their torso.

A true and obvious answer

When you look at a group photo how often do you study their feet rather than their faces?
So the question is "Why include the feet when they don't usually add to the photo?"
It is a question about composition, not connectivity. :roll:

Include feet in the U. S. and meters in the UK.

I was asked to take photos for our church calendar and they are including some group shots for different ministries. While photographing one group, I was asked if people would be able to see their feet. There was quite a bit of laughing when I responded that ALL I was photographing was their feet b/c I thought it would make a very interesting photo.
But to answer the question, there were no feet in the shot. Too many people to include feet. I wanted something closer and more intimate. I still like the idea of only feet, though. LOL

Yes, usually. It looks more natural, and it's not like a close-up photo of the individuals. Sometimes, people want the close-up effect, so I concentrate on waist-up. I give them the choice.

I agree, as I have done that on occassion. Once in Prague I sat in the town square and took photos of passing feet for more than two hours. An interesting study. (but perhaps they were passing meters :lol: )

I use as much of a person as possible. The rule is to us a midpoint of a leg.....It does not look natural to me.....Example try to pose a person with their legs pulled up to their chest...When you use two people, use the triangle pose if possible....

In Prague, it would definitely be meters. Of course, for little kids, it would be more like centemeters.

Show the entire body in some and crop to waist level in others and below knee in others.
Side view of individuals make then look thinner.
