Eye of the profesional

It’s funny how photography can work. Your hired as a professional photographer for your expertise, skill, equipment and a variety of other things. Some time you utilize all of those and other times you do not, it all depends on the shoot really.
We were hired a while back to do a CD for a local musician and the above photo is what I had in my head after we sat down and discussed the details. The shoot went amazing and everyone was happy.
A few days later we got together to go over the photos and in the end the client choose a photo none of us expected. Normally we take the outtakes out and just show processed final images for selection. We had accidentally left one photo of a photographer taking a photo of the client during the shoot in the pile. this of course is the one she choose.
It’s funny how photography works some times.
Isn’t funny how it works that way? My clients sometimes surprise me with their choices too. I think sometimes they look at an image and remember what they were thinking at the moment the shutter clicks. We don’t have the luxury of seeing things from the clients perspective.
