I've heard that some of the pro shooters out there feel differently.
So......Composition.....Shoot it right at the time or dial it in at post production?

I wouldn't consider myself a pro, but I am far fram an amatuer. On topic,.. I prefer to do a shoot right the first time. By that I mean, I like lighting, scenes, and all of it to be as close to perfect, and minimal post production editing work as possible. So when I shoot, that is my target.
We've had a lot of photographers we've interviewed after we let go the last one. A lot of them would say something to the effect of, 'well if there are fuck ups you can just fix them in post production, or the editing room, so there are no worries'. Something to that effect. Any photographer that made such a remark we would never hire.
While it's true we have, or I can, do post production work. The goal's not to create more work for me as you fuck off. Our photographer prior could get things to the point it was 90% w/o editing for the most part. That made my job a lot easier, and faster turn around. Mainly I am referring to video, versus stills. Stills can still be a mess.
