Not only have I been a victim of someone editing out my watermark and not paying for the package but I’ve been seeing people ask for Santa photos for cheaper than $20?
Why is this normal ? I don’t understand how someone can want a professional photographer with exspensive equipment and high quality skill to take time out their schedule to not only shoot the photos but edit and proof them. If that’s not worth at least $50 then why not just get creative with that iPhone you dropped $1k on ?
outside of just people being cheap, a lot of people dont understand that you aren’t buying a photo, but paying someone with the skills to take a good photo and then edit that photo to make it look even better.
a photo is cheap, but a person’s time of setting up equipment, time of taking photos, and editing aren’t. but because there things are things that a buyer doesn’t see, they don’t fully understand that they are paying for that as well. they see 20 for a picture and think, thats a lot i can take one on my phone for free, even if its of lesser quality.
actually just had a similar discussion with someone about the cost of custom knives.
