    Sometimes called composites, sometimes "extreme teams," but whatever you call them when the time comes to create a virtual group effectively, it is a smart move to know how to pose and light for the situation. Whether you create virtual groups as part of your business model or need a solution for weather days or when the maximum scheduling flexibility is necessary, the goal is always to get great images as efficiently as possible. Wes Kroninger has spent more than six years working with photographers all over the country to come up with lighting and posing processes that work and keep the process as simple as possible. Whether you plan to shoot green, grey, or white background, Wes will discuss how to keep your lighting simple for a quality extraction, use your lights to create depth in your images, and how to pre-plan your virtual group to achieve a perfectly balanced result. If you've ever wanted a look inside of a volume composite photo day, then please join us to take a peek. What we will cover: - Virtual group lighting - Virtual group posing - Shooting for extractions off any background - Pre-panning your group images - Shooting for speed -vs- shooting for impact - The dos and don'ts of virtual groups
