i know im getting cooked for not getting a contract or a specific deadline written down. its definitely dumb on my part. I usually do for most of my jobs, specially since i hire a lot of freelancers for my work, but in this case we’re a bit more friendly than ur stranger freelancer just from being in the same spaces a lot and him working with a lot of my close friends, so i just sent him the idea and photo references i had for the shoot, he told me he was into it and gave me his price ($100/h w edits included) we agreed on a date and i paid him in full. didn’t think much of it cause its not a crazy amount of money and i liked his work + he’s a chill dude.
we didnt agree on a deadline, however we were part of the same event about 2 weeks after the shoot, where he came up to me and told me that everything is looking good and to give him about another week since his schedule is super busy. i told him i understood and to just send them when they’re ready. this was over a month ago
for more context,
