My very first commercial shoot was a success . . . the second time 'round. There was confusion about the concept and deliverable. Thus, I had to re-shoot the images and scramble to meet their insertion date. Not an ideal first "professional" assignment, but I learned a few valuable lessons. While it's important to be confident in your work, it's equally important to be open to collaboration and maintain an open dialogue with both the agency and client. Never just assume and always ask questions. Questions start conversations and conversations make sure everyone is happy.
