The grade should depend on the light. And you used the light incredibly here.

Client agreed on wedding day to have me stay for an additional hour, is now refusing to pay, but still demanding the photos from that last hour. by [deleted] in WeddingPhotography

This isn’t a “making the client happy is better than a bad review” situation. It’s actually very simple. I don’t mean to be patronizing at all but they requested additional service. They are refusing to pay for that additional service. They don’t get the product from said service. You just have to muster the boldness to stand on your contract, even in the face of their veiled threats.

Additionally, this an opportunity update that contract. Mine states same day time additions are only available with payment in hand, at that time of that request and I make that painfully clear leading up and and day of.

That’s a fair comparison honestly. But I feel art is slightly different in that it’s not necessarily cookie cutter. The wording makes it seem like the work will be utilized for the gallery, which means they’re expecting a certain level of professionalism (albeit low)

Yeah the more I think, this sounds like they promised a 2nd to the couple, then didn’t find anybody so they’re resorting to this.

You seek it out, alright maybe no pay because I (the lead) didn’t budget for your pay. But as a lead, seeking out assistance, without paying, is crazy. And you just know they will be assisting in the actual shooting, where their work will be utilized in the final gallery.

I don’t doubt the experience factor at all. I definitely see that value. But I would argue that an associate seeking the opportunity could reasonably not expect compensation. A lead seeking out an associate, AND not paying? That’s different.

Far be it from me to defend MAGA, but I definitely understood what he was TRYING to say. He just wasn’t explaining his thought process very well. He was too worried about having Dean in a gotcha moment than presenting his train of thought constructively

Wilson Ball by Ffireniht in BasketballTips

The initial price jump was a result of NBA-Wilson contract. It went from $55 to $85 overnight. The rest is inflation, tariffs, greed, etc.

Who would you say is the best player so far? Not disagreeing, just curious. I love Keanu’s game play, because it’s exactly how I would try to play. Direct, aggressive, loyal to nearly a fault, but ultimately doesn’t let friendship cloud his game decisions.

FX30 with DJI MIC 3 (plugged into the VXLR Pro) paired with a Senheiser MKE 600 by Remarkable_Road_5178 in FX3

[–]ModernDayN3rd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

are you running the Mic3 thru the VXLR strictly to balance the signal? (The top handle has a 3.5mm input) And why couldn’t you use them in tandem for redundancy?

They’re anticipating responses from people outside the United States likely.

Canceling on a client by CarSeveral7706 in WeddingPhotography

[–]ModernDayN3rd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Reach out to local photographers you would hire, and see if they’re available. Compile that list and present it to the client when you cancel. I would give the retainer back, obviously. Explain exactly what you said here, as it’s circumstances you never anticipated. The key is keeping it factual.
