And here is what he said: <\/strong>I actually have a really good answer for you because one mistake that I made when I was early in my career was that I did a press shoot for a big pop artist. It was actually for Anne-Marie, who was one of my big clients back in the day.<\/p>

And it was the first press shoot we’d done together. And I didn’t realize that obviously after a press shoot you keep all the images and then they might want to go back and pick some from those selects. But once they gave me their first selects, I went through and deleted everything else. Everything else apart from the images they chose. So when they came back to me and said, oh, actually we prefer these other selects, I was like, they don’t exist anymore.<\/p>

Not realizing that the client already technically had the copyright ownership of all the images I shot. So I deleted loads of their copyrighted images. It was a lesson learned. I really screwed up.<\/p>

Luckily it worked out alright and we had loads of amazing images anyway that they had already selected. But yes, we lost a few of the selects that the client did want and yes, it was a bad time for me. I was really embarrassed and it was a learning lesson. So, yeah, that’s one lesson. There’s many lessons though.<\/p>

There’s so many different lessons that you can learn. But that was one of them and I had to learn it the hard way. So, hopefully that’s a good lesson to other people not to do.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
