I recently needed some photos for my clothing brand. I hired this dude who I wouldnt say he’s a friend but definitely an acquaintance who’s close with a lot of my close friends. Whenever I brought up the idea for the shoot to him he seemed really excited about it and out of trust and all the good things i’ve heard about him, I booked the shoot with the entire payment up front. Fast forward month and a half now and I still haven’t received those photos. We only shot for 40 mins to an hour and he probably took close to 50-80 photos. I’ve already hit him up asking for the photos and he tells me he’s still working on them. I don’t want to keep asking him like some crazy ex to deliver the photos that I already paid for but at this point idk what to do.
I’m not a photographer so i don’t know, but am I being too impatient or is a month and a half too long for him to edit some photos? I’m considering whether I should keep bothering him or if I should just consider this a lost cause and hire a different photographer
That’s slow af. I used to tell people a week and then they were pumped when it was only a day or two.
Or I was too busy and it actually took a week. And they don’t care.
Ask when you will receive your files. He owes you that answer.
