- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Is it just me? (probably) or is it getting tougher to please the client?
I have been a successful (when I mean successful; I mean I've been able to be freelance for over 10 years shooting 95% of my income from weddings 5% editorial) OK published a number of times ...whatever...I've shot more than 300 weddings with only praises. I work very hard and don't take this for granted. But in the last 2 years I have had 5 of the worst experiences that came from left field from brides (Los Angeles) becoming irate over not liking their photos not having enough OR feeling that they were not quality. I give 150% for every wedding. I always cover my basis with my contract and make sure verbal communication is clear. Interesting fact 2 of the 5 couples have divorced already!
I am just curious, has anyone been having difficulty especially in the LA area?
I guess with working with brides that request seeing in a photo of the bottom of their Christian Louboutin shoes more than the reaction of the groom seeing them for the first time in the dress is a red flag. BUT weeding these types of brides out is hard before your hired.
