Commercial Professional Photography Group Portrait Lighting Tips

I will be shooting a group of a board of directors at noon.  When you are taking an executive group portrait you want clothing to be simple and to contrast with your background.  Shirts and pants should be not too contrasted to one another as well.  Find an outdoor background
early in the morning or late afternoon if you can, with sun to the side and then fill with
aperture preferred one stop less than indicated.  Shoot Raw format and upload into Lightroom to adjust vibrancy, Curves and such to optimize contrast and saturation.
Use the fill naturally, but avoid overcompensation to create that flash burnout that I really don't think looks great for skin tones, but you do see a lot on the web these days.
