Hi Andy,

I totally agree with your comments: As a Food Stylist/ Photo Art Director, I like to be involved in a project as early as possible. Experience has consistently shown a smooth production is strategically anticipated and implemented as a team collaboration. It's all about staying in communication and open minded.  Veterans of the business accept that the creative process can be stressful and conflicts arise: The first rule of improv is to answer yes; enabling us to spring board off of the parameters which will push the vision. Accepting this builds confidence and trust which in turn allows us to be more instinctive and perceptive to the possibilities. I truck a full kit of tricks in preparation to play with the unexpected. Working with a skeleton vision allows the creative process to unfold until the process is fully realized.
