Class reunions give those in attendance a chance to reconnect with old friends. People often have very different reactions to a reunion invitation. Some avoid these events at all costs. Make the no-shows jealous, by taking great photographs throughout the night. Share the fun everyone had on-line and provide the attendees a nice keepsake to take home.
Group Shots
The group shot is a standard part of reunion photography. Have all the attendees arrange themselves so that everyone's face is visible. If a wide staircase is available, and can comfortably accommodate everyone, then take advantage of it for the photo. If not, a "pyramid approach" is a good way to set-up a large group. Have the tallest people stand in the middle of the back and then gradually taper to the sides and front based on the height of the subjects. Some people in front will have to kneel on one knee or sit. If no chairs are available ask them to sit on the ground in a cross-legged position. Take several shots to be sure everyone's eyes are open. Take a shot of only the alumni without their significant others, and then another photo with everyone in attendance.
Individual Portraits
Set up an area for formal individual or couple portraits. Use a neutral backdrop or one that is reminiscent of the school colors. This optional perk, can be a welcome touch for the participants since a reunion usually encourages everyone to look their best. Hire a professional photographer to take these portraits. Use a high resolution printer and an adequate supply of photo paper so attendees can take their portraits home the same night.
Candid Shots
Capture the fun as it happens by assigning several people on the reunion committee to "camera duty" throughout the event. Alternating the people charged with this responsibility gives everyone a chance to socialize. Another way to get a good collection of candid shots is to place one-time-use cameras on each table. Encourage the guests to take photos throughout the evening. Collect the cameras at the end of the event and have them processed. Establish a site online where people can view these photos and share the photos they may have taken with their own cameras.
Sharing Photos
Once the reunion is over, sharing the photos is an inexpensive process thanks to the Internet. Post photos on a social networking site, or an alumni website. Email the link so that everyone knows where to look to find the shots. Saving copies of all the images will be helpful when setting up for the next reunion. Slide shows can be created online and then copied to a photo CD. Include the cost of sending the CD to each participant in the reunion budget. Photos from previous events can also be displayed at future reunions in years to come.
