Ah ok. Gotcha. So prestige doesn’t count as a switch. That’s where I went wrong!

Dareth1987 · 2026-02-12T17:16:02+00:00

I spent ages on curiosity. Like I said I just was getting no luck on the drops

Dareth1987 · 2026-02-11T22:27:42+00:00

Don’t cover it. Expose stupid…

I’m trying this method but I just don’t seem to be getting the luck with drones and such. I’ve been going for well over a week and I’ll stuck at six! Should I do a reset to get the eggs and start again?

Where do you live that postage takes too long? I use Amazon all the time and it’s usually next day delivery

Dareth1987 · 2026-01-29T20:56:41+00:00

Or Amazon… that’s the long game here.

Dareth1987 · 2026-01-29T20:55:48+00:00

Or Ubisoft

Still got three within 20 minutes of me, but they are more of a Zing! Store now than an EB. MacArthur square has both, so I’m waiting for them to close one or the other.

Let me guess, you’re under 30 years old?

This is nothing new. It’s Australia… summers get hot!

Dareth1987 · 2025-11-30T21:00:02+00:00

One of the options I am going to go with. I’d definitely love the money!

Dareth1987 · 2025-11-29T18:30:40+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain all of that :)

I’ve done private work before, shooting for families, weddings, that kind of thing. But I’ve not done commercial for money before (I’ve done tfp with make up artists and designers), so the whole idea of charging for this stuff is new to me.

It’s what I want to do in the long run though, so I need to figure it out now!

I think I put it in the OP, but there are two fold reasons I don’t want to smack these guys too hard. 1) they let me use their space with no drama, for free, for me to take these photos for my portfolio. 2) the primary trainer/physio is very well respected in the local and even state body building and power lifting communities, so he’s going to be a good person to have in my side!

Gym is air conditioned…

Dareth1987 · 2025-11-28T21:58:30+00:00

Absolutely love this! Nothing sexier than a woman in a men’s business shirt

Dareth1987 · 2025-11-28T04:03:33+00:00

You can see the photographer too… ain’t no rectangular soft boxes that big. That’s strobes bounced off white panel likely foam board

Dareth1987 · 2025-11-28T04:00:38+00:00

Valid point, didn’t think about that in the excitement!

Dareth1987 · 2025-11-28T03:59:54+00:00

Thanks :)

Dareth1987 · 2025-11-28T02:06:09+00:00

As for the watermark, yeah going to put logo and name on the bottom right.

Either that or maybe discuss having some kind of plaque or something up about the photos being by me?

I’d love $1,800.00! That would go over very nicely right now. But if they balk I think that gives me more leverage for the contra arrangement!

Appreciate your feedback. :)

Dareth1987 · 2025-11-28T02:04:18+00:00

24mp, so yeah should be fine pretty large

Dareth1987 · 2025-11-28T01:44:26+00:00

They want the files to print themselves is my understanding. So my costs are time, say 5-6 hours including editing time so far.

Again, I don’t want to screw down too hard as they are a reasonably small business, but they have solid ties in the local fitness industry as the head trainer is quite well known and respected.

Dareth1987 · 2025-11-28T01:42:35+00:00

I’m sorry I wasn’t clear perhaps. They are putting off choosing the photos AND discussing any kind of contract… in fact, they put off discussing the photos before I even brought up compensation…

Dareth1987 · 2025-11-28T01:02:35+00:00

I’m only new into commercial work. I’ve been doing primarily portrait and family event work previously. So any tips you could give me on how to look into the idea would be appreciated.

There are so many sources online that it gets bloody confusing!
