This is something I've been thinking a bit about and I'm hoping to get some advice.
I tend to shoot portraits fairly wide open, as I enjoy the look it produces, both in the background and on the subject. I usually shoot one or two people at a time though.
I've been approached to do some group shots of anywhere from four to twenty people. How would I go about ensuring that I'm using a small enough aperture to get everyone in a given group in focus? (Apart from chimping and zooming in on every face to check focus).
I know that distance from the lens is typically preached in connection with where focus is and depth of field (i.e. if you're shooting two people at a wide aperture, you'd better make sure they're sitting directly aside one another so that they're the same distance from the lens and therefore both in focus). However, there are only so many people you can/want to put in a straight line to shoot.
