Just curious. I know everybody’s different.

    People who think working with photographers is like working with someone who take pictures on their phones.

    Had a client who ordered me to take 40 photos of an event and was mad that I only delivered 40 photos. She complained that she knew I took more photos at the event and I should just send them over for free.

      Absolutely this. Clients so often don’t appreciate the time it takes to cull photos and make adjustments to exposure, wb etc. That time adds up fast.

        I agree with this, but before I was into photography I hired several photographers for various events and I always found it super annoying when they withheld a lot of pretty good images. Sometimes clients care more about quantity. I think the best situation is to under-promise and over-deliver. And not every image has to be absolutely perfect.

          That is a fair point. Ideally, there’s good communication between client and photographer before a shoot or event, so that these things can be clarified early.
