    Dark side of freelancing.
    *Potential Client*: Hey i heard from so and so that you do wedding photography and I must say I loooooooo❤❤❤❤vvvve your work.
    Photographer: Yes. Here are my rates... (shows rates)
    PC: Will you be able to do the 8 hours for free or 80% off? We will give you food and our thanks. Also we need prints as gifts to our friends. The location is 7 hours away from the city. And we're getting married in 3 weeks. It could be a nice experience for you and your portfolio. You can get exposure from us!
    Photog: Thanks for your interest in my work, but I would have to decline.
    Choosing Beggar Client: Wow such a scumbag. You do not deserve my business! You're not that good anyway. 🤬
    Every dickweed thinks you're a great photographer until you show them your rates. Real clients will appreciate your craft. The above example also applies to friends and family members.

      In my wellness profession I have similar experiences. They will not pay after service done and than later on in time I found out someone is offering the same service as me and also markets the same as me. Even worse! But you cant do anything about, except get angry, express and let it go. Clients return for me, my personality, my work. I know I am special and with that attitude you get clients.

    Loving the intimacy and transparency of this episode! Forced motivational contents are misleading for creativity. Life is mostly dull and simple. If you can accept and be comfortable with that, real motivation stands out and you do creative things. At least in my experience it works like that and that's why i love this channel.

  • @ohmykelsey444

  • @ericstahl
    @ericstahl 4 года назад

    This helps give me more clarity within my own work. I do work a 9-5 and hustle outside dreaming to do the hustle full time, and it feels like i take 2 steps back cause sometimes I'm so tired I don't even want to look at my camera. My days off come and I still don't cause I want to shut off for a day. Most videos I watch everyone says how they nonstop hustled to get where they are and I feel my body would shut down if I went any harder, but then hate myself for not hustling like everyone I look up to. More videos like this I believe will put some creatives at ease and show to just keep going and it will work out when the time is right. Much love from Arizona

I feel like you should keep shooting this type of content if you liked shooting if it wasnt too much to edit clips in post. Also i liked the collab you did with a local creator

    Really enjoyed this one. I'd really love to see and hear more about your methods approaches to models and portrait photography. I like that you only work with natural lighting and your portrait stuff seems to always be about bringing attention to a specific product. I don't think I've ever really heard you talk much about it, but it seems to potentially be something you do for Epitome fairly frequently, so like I said, it'd be really cool to hear what you have to say about it.

Also i tried clicking the link for lighting in your description but it doesn't work, my budget is around 300-400$ and should be as travel friendly as it can. gonna go watch your video now, thanks!
