“Every Villain Is Lemons”

I was doing a photoshoot for a client who attended the filming. Part of the set dressing was a bowl of fruit with oranges, bananas, grapes, and peaches that looked like a still life painting to evoke a full kitchen. He insisted we fill the bowl with lettuce with a few whole lemons on top because he “liked the color”.

We told him that was sort of a weird thing to have in a kitchen. He was adamant.

We delivered the video today.

Client: “It looks good, but what’s with that bowl of lemons? It doesn’t look right at all.”

I’m really not sure how to respond.
