First, take it vertically, then next, take one horizontally.

Let's start with a vertical shot. Smile, everyone!

We all want to smile in the photo. Can you crouch a little bit to get everyone in the picture?

Of course, I will crouch a little bit. Now, let's take it horizontally. Smile, everyone! Is there any other way you want me to take the photo?

No, that's perfect. Thank you very much!
