Uniforms make this harder, not easier

The intuition is that a uniform simplifies company portraits — everyone is dressed the same, so the set should cohere automatically.

The opposite is true.

Why

A uniform turns clothing from a preference into a specification. The garment has to be reproduced consistently and correctly across forty headshots, and a system that infers plausible business clothing is not the same as one that reproduces a specific jacket with a specific logo in a specific place.

What that means in practice

Test on the uniform before committing. Not on the CEO in a suit — on the person wearing the actual garment, ideally one with an emblem or a colour that is hard to render.

Where the speed argument does hold

Scheduling. A uniformed workforce is usually shift-based, which is exactly the case where no single date exists on which everyone is available.

The gain is administrative, not photographic: you can photograph whoever is on shift, whenever, and still end up with a coherent set.
