Shooting for a textiles student

I was approached by a textiles student and asked to take images for her for the diversity now brief which I was already submitting to, but having more than one chance to be submitted was something I was more than happy to do. She said she liked my style of images and wanted to take images of a skirt she had made for the purpose of the brief. I arranged to meet the day before so that we could meet properly and she could give me an idea of the sort of images she had in mind, I asked her to bring about 6 reference images which could help me on the day. She had arranged her own model which I was slightly skeptical about but she assured me that was who she wanted to model the skirt.

I've learnt a great deal from this shoot and I think to really understand my mistake I needed to experience it. We had complete conflict of ideas and any direction I was given I felt was completely countered to making a good image. these were the only two images I was happy with, I liked the blue background with the yellow of the skirt and even the green of the jumper despite the jumper not being part of the 'styling' I was given, I just wanted the model to cover up a bit. This situation made me make decisions on my feet, such as taking off the trainers I was wearing and getting the model to wear them, putting the jumper on, and trying to work around having a really thin backdrop. I think I handled the situation well, I did get frustrated but I think I handled it well and 100% learnt my lesson; to only agree to work with someone after I know what is expected of me and when I agree with what they want to do.
