I shoot for commercial and industrial clients; my job is to create a high quality very appealing images. Sometimes it comes off on the first shooting, sometime it take several shoots to satisfy the client. On very difficult shoots it may be several shoots to determine the right lighting, timing, and angle. 

How many re-shoots have you done to achieve the desired results? One job big I had 5 re-shoots, it was a complex shoot involving 24 different location with very  unique viewpoints.

At first I never (never never) work without a precise brief from the agency/customer.

For important photo sessions outdoor I always spend a day of inspection before, to determine the best points of view, the best light orientation / time, etc.
Sometimes I get the chance to be accompanied by the customer or the AD from the agency.
I take some snapshot to show the different possibilities to the customer, then we have a meeting to decide together the best to do, or develop new ideas (it happens that the situation imposes itself new ideas).
For photo sessions with models and/or complex sets in studio I make some rough images to show to the customer before (using an assistant as model if it is necessary).
In this way the day of the photo session we all have clear ideas in mind and we have more time to do the work better and care about details.
And as I work generally connected to the computer (during outdoor and indoor works) the customer/agency can see the result in real time on the monitor.
In this way it is enough rare to have to redo a shooting.
But of course it can happen sometime, most of the time when the customer has not really clear ideas�
