Every year the Chamber has a group photo and the Chamber&#8217;s leadership team was concerned that it wasn&#8217;t going to happen this year due to COVID-19. Fortunately, I was able to photograph each person separately and then combine all the individual photos into one composited image. #missionaccomplished <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/michelleowens.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ArtifactPS_MCoC_Blog-1024x492.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ArtifactPS_MCoC_Blog-1024x492.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ArtifactPS_MCoC_Blog-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ArtifactPS_MCoC_Blog-768x369.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ArtifactPS_MCoC_Blog-1536x738.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ArtifactPS_MCoC_Blog-2048x984.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ArtifactPS_MCoC_Blog-1200x577.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ArtifactPS_MCoC_Blog-1980x952.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Each person was photographed separately in the outdoor canopy to adhere to social distancing guidelines.
