Sometimes when you’re on a photo shoot, there are other people who think they know best. In this case, it was a girl who was picking out locations and creating scenes for each shot. In my opinion, the entire day was wasted because of many reasons.
- The clothes don’t match the scenes
- The scenes are are ugly
- The photos were about the clothes, not the models.
With that said, sometimes you need to make due with what you’re given. Figure out a way to make it yours. If you can’t change fix the problem at time of shooting, do what you can to salvage the photo in post processing.
Thanks for reading and happy shooting,

22 Aug 2011Very good advice. I employed this technique just last week when I was encountered with the most hideous pile of unexpected tree trunk imaginable.
