How should directors and photographers cooperate?

An excellent photographer should not only create beautiful pictures, but also perfectly show the director's creative intention on the pictures. Therefore, he must understand the director's ideas, and an excellent director should certainly understand the professional demands of his collaborators. The director is a dreamer. He led all the actors through a creative journey and finally finished the film. In two or three hours, the director tells influential stories, and then manipulates the emotions of the audience to capture their attention and imagination. This story can take the audience to another time and space, another planet, a nightmare world or another ups and downs of life. The relationship between a director and a photographer is often compared to marriage. The two sides trust and respect each other, but of course there will be differences on some issues. Therefore, communication between directors and photographers has become the key to resolving differences and better cooperation. The more thoroughly the photographer understands the director's ideas, the more he can help the director. However, if the director gives the photographer a problem and completely denies the previous agreement between the two, some discussion and compromise are needed.
