Some years ago I faced this exact situation. Mike's advice is on the money. I simply arranged, with the corporate client, to have a photographer show up, at the "request of the PR department", to take the photos, ostensibly for the hospital newsletter. However before the photo shoot, I met with the photographer and spent time educating him about exactly what type of resource photos I needed. As a result he took the subject from his office to a large picture window, got proper directional lighting and got me fantastic source photos.
To this day, it remains one of my favorite paintings. The completion of this painting will be a very important component to your portfolio. One cannnot make a silk purse from a sow's ear.
