Help!!

I need some help! 

I have been asked to shoot a group shot of a corporate board.  I have been told that there will be around 15 people in the image and the mood is to be conservative.  Yay!! 

After spending considerable time in research today, I have yet to see a corporate image of that amount of people that I liked.  Making an image is one thing, making an image I can be proud of is a whole other thing.  I'd like to make something special here, especially since I haven't seen it done before.

SO!  Thoughts?  Ideas?  What have you got?  What would you do?

    Here's a nice one - very conservative

    You could also do it on the steps outside their building possibly showing their logo or number in the background...

  2. An assignment like that doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room for creativity, to be sure! I was thinking that the backdrops could at least make the image have a little more "pop". I came across this, and I don't know whether your client would go for it or not, but, it's some food for thought:

  4. I always prefer shooting outdoors whenever possible. Of course, you're at the mercy of the weather, but you've got so much more freedom to be creative. I don't really have any specific recommendations other than get 'em outside!

  5. Have you access to a boardroom? Perhaps around a conference table (stategically staged of course to fit everyone) ~Tab

  6. Just had an idea. Take them all to a playground and get various shots of them on the equipment. And I'm only half-kidding. Guess that doesn't jive with the whole conservative thing, eh?
