Prior to this shoot, I've never done group portraits, let alone arranging a formal one with people you've never worked with before. Generally, I wanted to keep things in a specific format; one formal, one comedic. And it worked, generally. Besides that though, many of the decisions me and Nicole made were somewhat on the spot to accommodate specific circumstances presented to us on the day-of-shooting.

All photos were shot at f/4.5, 1/640, and around 100-200 ISO.
Overall, the pace at which we were shooting was easy to manage. Everyone was willing and cooperative to the entire thing (perhaps because many of the students within each class were mellow and the classes were small). Teachers helped to keep everyone in check, so behavior wasn't an issue. Post-production needed to be used for certain things, especially in the photo for Mr. Pounds because of the komorebi (light leaking through the branches). We chose this as our classroom photo because it looked attractive, but with that came the consequence of dealing with that komorebi. Otherwise, I believe that it'd would've been beneficial to know the camera settings (as we were using a camera that wasn't our own; a T3i where I usually used a T5), as well as the complete height makeup of the groups we were photographing.
