I've done many and know how to deal with reflections, straight lines, crumpled boxes, etc. But upon seeing final 4x5 tranies, client whined and sniveled about little things (maybe it should have been 2 degree to the left; maybe we should show just a sliver more of the top, etc. etc.) despite having been there and okayed everything as we went along. I was explaining this to an art director who had worked with them in the past and he said: "If there is no strong concept to the photo, all there is left is technical execution. If we could have talked them into doing a strong concept, communicating something, their issues wouldn't have come up at all." donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
