Clients

Clients can be difficult to work with depending on what they need, how fast they want the products, and the amount of communication they give. I have recently dealt with a client that called and asked if I could take family pictures for them. I agreed to the date and location. That was the only information I was given from the client, when I got to the shoot I was astonished by the size of the family and the amount of different shots they wanted. The family that I thought was five ended up being eleven people. So my original ideas on posing went out the window when I pulled up to the location of the shoot. Also the wanted one with just the parents and kids, then one with the parents, kids, spouses, and grandchildren, one of just the grandchildren, then one of each one of their children’s family. I guess without asking the client more questions you don’t really know what you will be dealing with as a photographer. So I guess doing this photo shoot with this client helped me grow as a photographer by learning from experience. I learned you have to ask more from a client than just time and location you cant just assume what they want as a client.
