On a shoot, never share your stress with your client. Talk to your rep or someone else.
On Set
Never Bring Emotions to Work
Best advice I ever received was from photographer Neil Jacobson, who told me to never bring my emotions to my job.
NO DRAMA
The secret to success for photographers is not to show their “cards” under pressure. Relax and always tell yourself it all gets done in the end with a great supportive team. Diva photographers are a thing of the past and no one wants to work with those guys anymore, high profile and talented or not. People want a light-hearted fun running set, NO DRAMA.

No Need To Over-Share
Encourage those around you. Don’t tell your clients or models everything you are thinking or working out in your mind. You are the host of the party. Everyone will follow your lead. If something happens that throws you off, quietly figure it out with your team. No need to over-share. Be a professional.
