This is somewhat of a continuation of yesterdays. And I'm slightly irritated, so mind you, if I don't sound pleasant. Now that you've seen what work goes into my photos, I'd like to state that it is time consuming. I'm tired of people saying that I slack. I know photographers equal and greater than me that don't finish editing a set of photos until nearly a month or longer after it is shot. I work a fulltime job as is. Photography is something I pursue on the side, so yes I do get aggitated by people who don't even pay me to take their picture and expect rush delivery. If you wanted someone to do you pictures for free you should have asked your mom or dad. ...And why didn't you ask your mother or father? Because they probably don't know how to make a photograph. Well I do. And that is a service that requires a pay. I'm not the photographer you can get a free lunch out of. There's no such thing as a free lunch. So understand that I have a pretty busy life and I just might be working with more than one client at a time, which I normally do. (And by client, I mean someone who is paying me) And if you don't believe my work is good enough to pay me for, go ask your mother and father to take those pictures of you. Sooooo long story short. I am a photographer. That is an occupation. Occupations means that work is involved. Work takes time. Time=money. I don't do this fulltime, and it is not my only occupation.
Unless I ask you to model for me, or your modeling is top notch, I will not work for free.
And no, I do not pay my models. My models have gotten work because of my photography. It pays for itself.
Now that I've got that rant out, I'm feeling a little less bitter.
So again, sorry if I was harsh about this topic, but people are always expecting free handouts from me. It doesn't work like that. This is my business.
