Client questioning your methods?

[ashleykaryl]

This reminds me of weird experience I had many years ago as a photography student at art college. I somehow wound up photographing some local amateur models for a hairdressing salon and a rather uptight hairdresser was present at the shoot. I don't remember much else, except that it was an unpaid college project.

She viewed everything I was doing during the shoot and saw there was a grey background. She was happy with the Polaroids showing a grey background. At no point did she say the background need be anything other than the grey I had chosen.

When she saw the processed film she was horrified that the background was grey and for some reason was expecting it to be white. Having some sense of the approaching storm if I failed to come up with a quick answer I assured her that while it may look grey, technically it was white...

Incredibly she accepted that as being correct and thankfully that was the last I heard of it...
