Bring your Ideas
Sometimes the difference between an ordinary photo and something memorable is just one slightly stupid idea.
For a Last Milieu band shoot a few months ago, I brought a ladder and suggested the photographer shoot from above. For the Sunday Mail shoot this week I suggested that we all lie on the floor with drumsticks.
Both ideas got used.
The photographers still did the actual photographic work, obviously. But turning up with an idea gave them something more interesting to experiment with. It’s a useful reminder that creative direction doesn’t only belong to the person holding the camera.
Bring an idea. Suggest something. Try the odd angle.
Worst case, it doesn’t work.
Best case, it ends up in the paper.
