Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Yesterday, I took a few large group photos. The editors needed to identify everyone in them. In Lightroom, go to “People,” which searches for all faces using face recognition software similar to Facebook.
While Lightroom helps you with “face recognition,” you must still get everyone’s names. So here is that blog post for an earlier post on how Lightroom “face recognition works.
Here is a link to Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop software:
By the way, I just took a big photo with everyone’s names in Lightroom and took a screenshot. So, in addition to putting the information in the IPTC, I also gave them this photo so they could see the identification.
I had each person print their name on a 3.5″ x 5″ card with a Sharpie. Then, I made a quick headshot of each person.
After they held up the card, I had them put it to the side and took a few quick headshots. I also gave all these to the client. It is a bonus for them, but I needed it to help me to identify people in all the photos.
I also needed everyone to fill out a Model Release. Here is the short form I use on card stock.
My assistant hands out pens and cards to speed things up. Then I use the FotoBiz software to create the model releases. It also includes the model release wording.
I hope these tips help the next time you need to quickly identify many people in your group photos.
