Designed for ease of use, the sample portraits in this guidebook are grouped according to the number of subjects included—working from small groups of three up to larger groups including 10 or more people—and within each section, the portraits are further subdivided into how much the frame shows of the subjects, from close head-and-shoulders portraits to three-quarter-length images and full-length shots.
