With over 20 years of experience in the industry, I know how easily things can go wrong on a shoot, especially when you're not fully prepared or clear on the client's brief. I talk about everything from overstyling and ignoring feedback to building strong industry relationships. I also share some personal stories (including one involving salt beef sandwiches!) to show how these play out in real life. Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up, this episode is full of practical tips to help you improve your styling career and keep clients coming back for more.   enjoy! Freestyling Friday with Emma Morton-Turner A few things we covered in this episode : Preparation is crucial; it accounts for 80% of the work. Feedback must be taken constructively, not personally. Asking questions is essential for clarity in briefs. The physical demands of styling are often underestimated. Building relationships in the industry is key to success. Mistakes are part of the learning process in styling. Maintaining professionalism can lead to rebooking. Networking can open doors to new opportunities.
