Shoot direction

Member lesson

Weather, delay and the plan that survives neither

Lesson 10 of 11 in Shoot direction.

Lesson

Exterior shoots are a negotiation with something that does not negotiate. The light moves on a schedule you can look up, and the weather does not, and a plan that assumes both will cooperate is not a plan.
