    The pricing relationship is hilariously accurate. A lot of low-budget clients want to maximize their dollar, so they’ll ask for every discount, corner cut, and favor imaginable and give you hell when something is not meeting their expectations. Big budget clients have so much money to throw around that in many cases they don’t care. They hire and pay you to do the job so they literally don’t have to think about it. They don’t have time to micromanage you. There are obviously low budget clients with low budget expectations and high budget clients demanding the world of the product, but it’s impressive how many clients in the photo/video field have expectations inverse of their budget.

    My first "money sent. thank." blew my mind. I felt guilty making 2x week's pay on one gig. Afterwards, the company's CEO wanted to add some different furniture and "do the whole thing again" because she loved the photos and videos and wanted them to be perfect. And so I went out and did exactly the same thing again and got paid twice. Commercial work has been much more of a focus now!

    • @leirumf5476
      @leirumf5476 Рік тому

      @@excalibro8365 I'm aware this might be controversial, but my approach to street photography is to first compose the photo, see where I want the person to fit in the photo, get the camera ready and wait for the subject to step in. That way I'm the one who's there first and if anything it's the person who's stepping into the photo.
      The other completely opposite approach is to just shoot from the hip, takes practice but done right people won't even realize that you took a photo.
      This one is harder to pull off (specially if you are introverted) but you can always approach the person and ask for their consent! I usually offer to share them the pic and ask them to write their email on my phone, and while they are busy writing I take another shot of them that's more candid.
      And I always always lead any possible confrontation offering the person if they want me to delete the photo. Once I had a guy flipping me off in a photo, I told the guy that I'd be more than willing to delete the pic but instead the guy told me that he fully supported street artists and we ended up talking for a while and the guy was super nice!

    As someone who used to tip his toes into photography, this is extremely accurate.
    So many lenses and so little money (both my own and also the commercial potential).
    I think I lost my enjoyment of photography right around the time I had to use all of my acquired skills for my PhD to properly film my experiments. I got really good at manually focusing on moving~1mm objects within a couple of seconds using a 40mm or 50mm lens at the expense of actually enjoying using my camera.
