    umm. he actually shot the group at 9:22 at f11, not f2.8. And the family portrait after that was at f4, not f2.8.

    Last photo. Don’t like the background, what’s that white thing on the left. Couldn’t you bring a background or use something neutral. This picture could be saved with a crop. IMHO

    Wake up people! this is just Youtube videos, so what if Jared leaves something out or adds extra, this is NOT a legal matter, no liability, nothing, its not rocket science!

    If you have one person closer to the camera than the other, you will use a smaller aperture to increase depth of field. For instance, shoot at F9 or F11. This will keep everybody in focus in case some are closer to the camera than others. Make sure you use a tripod if possible since the smaller aperture will let in less light, consequently reducing your shutter speed and increasing the possibility of motion blur if your shooting hand held.

    how do you photograph 2 or more people without blurring the other person?

    I think Greg does a great job of describing how he shoots and poses a photo. Very technical and matter if fact. I like his style. One fro is enough!!

    Yeah, stop reading your aperture wrong. The 2.8 you see is your lens your using, look up to the middle line.
