What do you all do when photographing groups of people to let them know you are now taking photos? I'm assuming people who do this for a living don't do the, "say cheese," thing?
I mostly shoot models or family portraits that are generally one on one so don't have this issue.
But occasionally I do some corporate work, functions or the group photos at a wedding where I'm unsure what to do. Right now I just do nothing and take 3 or 4 shots hoping one is good. But I feel I should be communicating something to my subjects so they are fully aware I am about to take a photo.
What's the secret of getting their attention, while keeping everyone looking natural and not sounding like a tool?
