Clients may be visually dumb - regardless of what eye they use; I also encounter this problem and have not yet found a good way around it - other than to look for another client. What erks me most is when the visually dumb clients assume they are RIGHT (eyed or not) and my best work is LEFT (eyed or not too) out...
What the guy I was photographing was saying..
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Enhancing-Self-est...e/dp/1412921112Was that 'left eyes' are more spatially aware while having other 'limitations' such as slow time to identify left and right and often poor reading
He also said that most people are somewhere in the middle of course
But he introduced me to the concept that I (as a left eye) may
have a tendency to see in a more developed manner (being able to understand the positional elements in a scene fast) than others ability to do the same - and to
account for that in my interaction with them
Those other people of course may have other attributes that outstrip mine - mental arithmetic, ability to compose wonderful prose etc
He was completely serious
If you think about it there are often artistic differences between writers and photographers - probably the writer has other attributes that lead them to their career seeing more in terms of 'concepts' rather then 'trivial' details like lampposts or angle of light
Of course when writing about a scene the lamp post does not matter - where as in a photos it will be critical
Overall his theory is that most people a great at something - its just discovering where that greatness lies - it the core of his approach to dealing with 'special needs' kids
Its a classic - take a client to a beach at midday on a sunny blue day - they see a wonderful scene - I see a challenging situation in terms of dynamic range nasty shadows etc and just want to come bak at magic hour
