Yes
My nephew has just had a music class photograph taken by tempest. The children are all quite spread out on the white background. I have the hilite background but could never fit that many children on it for obvious reasons.

Does anyone know what set up they are using.

The above link shows a photograph similar to the one my nephew had taken.

:thinking: not sure which of those pics you mean, but the one of the left would be a normal large white background, paper or fabric, etc, pressumably on a stand of some kind, and the multi image looks like exactly that, several images stuck together in a sort of pano effect, though hard to say for sure from such a small version. Did you ask your nephew if they wer all photographed together or not?
 
Thanks for that I will ask him I didn't think of that. that would make sense if they were stuck together. Cheers.
 
Looks like a normal white background to me with the large one being six separate shots stitched together. :)
 
Hi,

I work in a school and we get Tempest in to do our school kids portraits.

The people that came to our place had two studio locations setup with a blank white background. They used the standard two light setup, powered by Calumet strobes, shooting through a brolly.

It also looked like they were using Fuji bodies too.

For the whole year group shots they just used a 5 tier platform and shot using medium format.

HTH.
 
multi shots stuck together onto a 12x5 canvas for example in photoshop. simple crop and drop. :)
 
I agree with Leeb. My daughter gets similar photos (although not by Tempest). The pupils are photographed in small groups and, in effect, the finished image is a panarama. I have no idea what kit is used but that is the technique. We are even allowed to buy the individual photos which make up the finished panarama.

Some years ago I recall seeing a school "photographer" who came to the school equipped with a Nikon F1 (I think) and the lens was taped to a fixed focal length using masking tape. The "posing stool" was then placed a measured distance from the tripod and thephotographs taken. No real skill involved apart from being able to use a tape measure.
