People say no to ideas all of the time, and then you just move onto the next one.

I go into every portrait shoot with a full range of ideas, from the "They'll do anything" sort, to the "They'll do nothing" kind, as you never know what you're walking into. That's the scary part, but also where the adventure lies.

And yes, I try to be open to other people's suggestions, as good ideas can come from anywhere and anyone.
