Working With An Art Director "Dmitri"

Working with an Art Director on the whole is difficult when you are the photographer. When working with a Art Director a photographer has to take the art directors vision into consideration as well as add their own personality into the photograph. While working with Dmitri there was one very difficult aspect he was the subject being photographed. He directed that particular lighting, background color and what he wanted in the photograph. The photograph session was hard because I wanted to change the angle of the photograph from what he originally wanted which made it harder to get his entire body into the photograph. Every time I adjusted something a shadow would appear within the photograph or a body part would get cropped out. However, at the end of the session we were able to work together to get a perfect picture for the project.
