You are a breath of fresh air in the RUclips space
I personally think your stories become MORE relevant to us, your viewers, when you are restricted from sharing nitty-gritty legally protected details. Your ability to simplify and focus in on the point to present to us is as sharp as your photography. I needed to hear this, thank you!
Don't know why this only has under 5k views, I found this incredibly fascinating. Most of the time I find agencies to be useless middlemen and grifters so it's great to hear how useful they are at the top end.
Yes FINALLY someone says it. So many people share product tutorials on RUclips and show a very specific style of shooting and more importantly, style of editing and show little to no interest in what the brand guidelines of a company could be. I worked as a graphic designer for 10 years, no matter what it must fit within the brand values, messaging and over feel for mostly consistency.
working with big clients can be odd, like when I was working for one very big client and I had to deal with an incredible level of idiocracy, the people I had to work with were unbelievebly incompetent and they spent 3x more time that it was needed and... I rather not even talk about it :) it's an extreme example on how can a big job be a nightmare, just because you need to deal with idiots or it would be totally easy. My point is you need to get the job done and you should do your best to be kind with idiots and if it doesn't work you need to find another way :)
Here's an interesting question, I think! 😃Have you ever had to fire a client? I guess if you use an agency to work through you don't have direct contact with the clients ... maybe. I was a design/development professional back in the late 90s early 00s and I was doing quite well. I had reached a point where I could bid on jobs I wanted versus any job that came along because I needed the money. But this was a unique situation, I had a client that was a real pain in the ass. They paid my rate and they alway paid my overage invoices for going outside of my design guidelines. I just didn't like them and the work wasn't engaging even though the money was okay. I basically told the contact on their side that I wasn't interested in their work any more. They were incredulous and told me it was highly unprofessional to turn work down. I strongly disagree. I felt as though I had paid my dues and worked my ass off just so I could turn them down. 😆 I often wonder if I had made a mistake. It didn't seem to effect me for a while but then 9/11 happened and the bottom dropped out of the industry. I ended up taking a job for an agency for a short while to pay the bills. I never really went back to full time work for myself but I don't attribute that to pissing off a client or burning a bridge. I did spend the next twenty years moving from job to job (not often though I've really only had three "jobs" since 2004) leaving smoking ruins behind me! 😂
Good stuff. Practical advice. Thank you.
thanks for sharing
Getting info needed to do a proper job for a "big" client is like pulling teeth. I wonder how they expect people to do the job? (or the other way around they have so many rigid ideas you cannot do anything) Small customers don't seem to have a clue what they want... makes the job twice as difficult.
I admire how your mind works.
Great video.
Love the work you’re doing Scott. Can’t tell you how helpful this is.
Thank you for these easy to understand snippets from your experience! I'd like to see you talk on creative trends. How much of it is getting pieces and making your own and how much is making something completely 180 to the things you are used to.
I once had to "copy" a "stock" photo... angle, style, model positioning, lights, surroudings.. It was obvious to me that the agency had the client sign off the campaign before they checked if the photo was available... or they just really wanted to copy a campaign. heheh
Thanks you, great insides as always 😁
Can I get information about the photoshoot
I've got a question I've been wanting to ask.
Scott, before you get an agent, how you manage client / agency who want you to join the pitching for client?
i bought an adapter for mamiya sekor c 50mm f4.5 on canon 5d mark iii and was wondering what is the last ring (closest to front of the lens) meant for? cheers
