This may depend on your printer... some demand 5900k others 6500k and such.... most use adobeRGB or various CMYK for offset, some use sRGB for short-run digital output.... unless you just want to tweek this yourself....
I think it would be best to reverse-engineer this, i.e. find a file of your that worked best, check it's attributes, then ask for that...
- sounds like he's talking about photography style not this...but I could be and probably am wrong.doesnotexist

look at the photos you have that you're using- use plain language to describe them and use examples to show.
then show how NOT do it. should be fairly easy.

company brand guidelines often include photography style guidelines. That's where i would start looking.

as well as a written document why not send them images to use as an example of style you want

The images will be used in a print campaign. I have specific layouts and style that I'm trying to acheive. Just not sure how to communicate it.

How will the images be used?
Billboards? Posters? Point-of-Purchase cardboard display? Magazine Ads? Small Brochures? Website headers? Website page illustrations? If it's a print-run, how many will be printed? If it's a magazine ad, what's the circulation?
If you're planning cost estimates based on usage for images that are not "royalty free stock" you can consult http://www.cradocfotosoftware.co…
If you're thinking technical guidelines, that depends on usage, but Getty has some posted for their submitting photographers...
if you boss just wants you to "collect a bunch of stuff we can use anywhere" then he may really not understand what this entails...

strictly photo's or video/film photography as well?

Usually for my projects I do my own photos but now I have to come up with guidelines so we can collect photos from other groups which may or may not have any pro or semi-pro photography capabilities. Does anyone have a link to good examples of photo guidelines? I've never seen or written any. Thanks!
