I've worked on car shoots. The trouble is, clients want something which shows the front grille, something which shows all the car, something which shows the car motoring along etc. Same old set. But you still try and give them something different
Same with motorbikes. We used to joke "front on, side on, going round a corner, wheelie... done!"
But isn't it the photographer's art to make the ordinary look good?
It's not like every celebrity is a beauty or has facial features that the camera just loves. I've been on fashion shoots where a model walks in looking quite plain, but photographs incredibly well and you'd hardly believe it is the same person.
Even the ugliest, most boring among us deserve to have a decent photo taken at least once in our lives!
