Fun all-day shoot with "Down-Under" Bluegrass Band, Mustered Courage.  Location scout all over San Francisco, selecting animated, colorful muraled walls as backgrounds.  We started in the Haight-Ashbury, using 4-5 different backgrounds, and they performed on the street as we were shooting - entertaining passers-by; then we moved to the Mission District and shot in a fabulous alleyway, painted with different-feeling murals.  We shot group, and different combos of individuals, as well as single portraits, all used for their publicity/website through Universal Music, Australia.  I directed the group to do still posing as well as wilder tossing of instruments to each other in the air, and walking in the alleyway to capture movement.  Great high energy!

To do research and understand the quality of the work they need.  To confer as much as needed to prepare properly for the photoshoot, i.e., hiring of makeup/hair artist (done by photographer), proper clothes styling for the types of photos needed, i.e., business, casual, glam, activewear, closeup headshot. 

Be open to photographer's suggestions, and inform photographer of purpose of their photos.  Let the photographer do the creative work

Know what their budget is, and be open to discussing the costs of the shoot with the photographer, according to the scope of the project.
