Jim is the master of group shots. It takes real skill and the artistic "eye" to make a shot like the one on the left - you have a variety of looks, color, and clothing, limited space and personalities that don't like to pose for pictures, some that do, and mostly those that don't want to stand around for too long! For the past several years, Jim spends 40 Mondays annually taking group shots for Lockheed Martin's Center for Leadership Excellence, so he has lots of practice!
Sometimes the group shots are impromptu without special lighting and arranged space, such as the images below taken last week at a convention in Chicago.
And lastly there's always the planned, posed group shot, where someone doesn't show up or the schedule changes and I have to use my PhotoShop skills to make the image a whole. This last picture, below, was done over a 3 week period with a few people added in over time.
