Should the photographer, make up artist and hairstylist all meet up together?

I'm new to this photography things...I was wondering if the photographer, make up artist and hairstylist should all sit down together? Or should the photographer meet separately with each individual and go over all the plans, concerns and exchange possible extra ideas?





Any opinions or experiences out there?Should the photographer, make up artist and hairstylist all meet up together?
I would think that they all should meet up together. The photographer may suggest makeup and hairstyles that would make your photo better. As I have learned from having children you shouldn't have the boys hair trim or cut on the day of the picture. Don't ask me why that is what was told by me from a pro photographer. It couldn't hurt to him them all there. If this will be a pic for the memory book it will be all worth it.Should the photographer, make up artist and hairstylist all meet up together?
I would let the make-up and stylist do their own thing. The photographer should worry about setting up. Unless the subject/client wants a particular look, then it would be up to them. Not to say the photographer can't make suggestions.





Whoever is paying out the bucks should have the say. That's why I don't do people.
What's the situation? Model shots, family photos, wedding? Is there an art director trying to accomplish something in particular, or is it based on ';looks good'; - and to whom?
if it's a wedding it's up to the bride, be spontaneous, just turn up and shoot what your presented with.
That depends... Who's project is it? Who's paying?
