| alexkidd Photographer  Location United Kingdom East Yorkshire Hull | There's a fb group i'm in (yeah i know drama central but hey ho) anyhoo... Someone on there has visions of being a stylist and someone who directs shoots as in telling the model how to pose, as a photographer i'm not sure that's something i'd be keen on (styling aye, directing no) Just pondered what anyone elses take on it was?  |

| mpp_visions Photographer  Location United Kingdom Suffolk Felixstowe | I have to say i'm with you on this, styling/make-up etc yes, directing no. Although I guess it maybe useful if you're new to doing model photography. |

| Tansy_Blue Model  Location United Kingdom London Harrow | Sounds something like an art director? Someone whose job is managing the creative vision of the shoot and making sure everyone else fits into it? | |

| Spike Photographer  Location United Kingdom Hertfordshire St Albans | Worked with art directors on many occassions over the years, effectively they are the representitive of the client. One tip when working with/for them make sure they sign off the shoot then if the client wants a reshoot its a fight between the AD & client & you still get paid. |

| Gerry99111 Photographer  Location United Kingdom Surrey Guildford | There is only room for one creative director in the village [on the shoot!] and that is me  That role is one of the greatest satisfactions for me and I would only give that role up if someone was prepared to pay me enough for it as that for that segment I would treat it like a paid job that was purely for the cash. They would either have to offer me something exceptional for another part of the day or cash to the tune of £200 per hour [which aint going to happen] but it is my rate I require for doing things I obtain no job satisfaction. |

| stolenfaces Photographer  Location United Kingdom London West London | Assuming this is just a tfp type thing... It depends on whether the someone is putting together the shoot with a really good creative team and maybe location. Working with a team of top people can be interesting. I once did something like this where the stylist/director organised a day around southend (actually I think it was shoeburyness). It was in film days so there wasn't any reviewing of photos and thus photographic issues were trusted entirely to me (we might have had a polaroid camera, but not a back). I think there were 3 or 4 models + a couple of mua/hair + me and director/stylist. Mostly Students. It was a very rewarding day both from photos and experience. |

| skymouse Photographer  Location United Kingdom London London | If I sat down with my colleagues and we decided it'd be worthwhile to bring in a different Director, then yes, I wouldn't dissent; the end justifies the means. | |

| Simon_P Photographer  Location United Kingdom Lothian Livingston, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Perth | Probably not, however, hypothetically and all things being equal, if that person could show results of their work directing and I thought it could add something to a shoot then I wouldn't count it out. | |
