Greetings,

This question requires some what of a post haste answer. I thank you in advance.
I will be photographing about 50 women, not all at once but in groups of 3 to 4. The shots will be outside. I will be using a skrim to defuse the light and a reflector when needed.

here is a really poor version of what i imagine of the shot.

imagine if this was in first person view.

now, how do i pose these women? i figure they all kind of stand at a 45 degree angle and turn the head towards the camera.

as for the composition of the shot. should i shoot above the waist? so the body does not appear to be cut off?

your opinions would be greatly appreciate.

I think the B&W shot is more interesting, but watch what's happening in the background. That looks like a nice setting, but you've got a building in the background & a fence pole in front of them. I'll bet there is a better place to shoot there.
I don't think I'd plan on messing around with skrims & reflectors, either, & might use some fill on/near camera if I had to.
What will you do if you get 10mph wind gusts?
Where will the sun be if/when it comes out?
