What to expect from a photo shoot?


Jeff Yong understood that, a good photo can mean the difference between his guitar sold or ignored - that's the reality.  I've done many of his guitar photo shoot, but never in our studio.  We usually did it whenever we find the time and location.  At the end of the day, he walked away a happy man.
Squeezing time from his busy schedule, so I can shoot the guitars was my challenge.  And the effort was worth it.  This time around I managed to convince Jeff to leave the "self-portrait" timer function alone and let the pro do the job.  
Asked a significant to take the photos could be disastrous when the picture came out bad.  The specular surface of everyone of his guitar is as good as a mirror.  Imaging this, taking a picture of a mirror and not make it your self-portrait.  That's hard.  That's challenging.  And this time around I had a Edwin Ng be the trigger man while me, Scott and Jeff did all the run around.
Jeff did make other deadly mistake by asking a favor of a friend.  Usually, photographer friends will agree to do it to gain some experience, and not taking the whole thing seriously.  Jeff was left with 3,000 images to sift through, and lucky to find one usable.
So what are the few mistake one could face when a photo shoot appointment is ahead of you.
