To stop winners turning backs to cameras and galloping off, ask people receiving certificates to 'come and receive your certificate and be photographed with the Mayor & President'.
You need a group shot for the newspapers (with the names of everybody who is in the photo - their sub-editor doesn't want to spend time phoning to ask names of people who we know but he doesn't. Names on photos interest those in the photo and other readers
and enables the newspaper to sell more copies and sometimes to sell photos)
Take additional close-ups so people can be identified.
Add props to make photos more interesting. Or ask people to adopt funny/unusual poses.
People with cameras often take:
1 Everybody except themselves.
2 Only their own family.
3 Everybody except their own family.
Make sure everybody is included. If you have two photographers and either is a member of the group, get them to photograph each other or ask a visitor to take a photo showing all the club or committee members.
