In the past, classes have taken their group shots in a parking garage, in a studio, on a beach, by palm trees, and even standing waist-deep in the ocean.
Our class has been thinking about our group personality, and we decided to try shooting by the forests of banyan trees on the John Ringling museum grounds.
If you're not familiar with banyan trees, they have aerial roots. Basically, long things dangle from the branches and then when they hit the ground, the connect with the earth and become roots. So you get areas that look like this:
In some shots, we climbed the trees. In some we stood and sat in front of them. And I have to tell you, from what I've seen, they look AMAZING.
We also took some shots on an outdoor stage, in case the banyan shots are too unconventional.
My class did a great job banding together and taking great shots, even though it was really, really cold for Florida (we're talking mid-30s, here... and we were outside in shirts, no coats, because it would look to weird for a group from Florida to be all bundled up in publicity shots).
I'll post some shots when I get a hold of them.
