Use white gaff to make a sort of backboard in front of a pack’s photoslave to give spilling light a little help setting off said pack.

We had a lot of prototype seed and fertilizer spreaders to shoot this week, the products looked great but they used old tyres that were dirty. Unfortunately there wasn’t much time in the shoot schedule to properly clean and prep the tyres so I had to improvise. Rolled up around the palm of the hand it worked like a charm pulling out the grit and dirt, worked better than a Magic Erasure without disintegrating into little bits of white fluff.

While assisting a commercial shooter who has not done a QTVR before I used gaff tape too create a 64 stop degree scale on a lazy susan.

While photographing a military promotion, I used gaffers tape stuck on itself (to bake double sided tape) to hold epaluttes onto uniforms since nobody had the Velcro fastened version or button open epaulettes. I think I used it to hold a micro-recorder in hiding on the podium once to capture audio for later use when writing a news release.

Tape (white) to a pack and write down power settings.
Tape bin liners around the studio if needed.
Tie up mouthy hair stylists… the possibilities are endless.
I once strapped up my fractured wrist on Location and saw the rest of the week through.
Recently in Mongolia operated on a dog in the middle of nowhere and gaffered the stitches so it could not be scrached at…
