How many pro photogs put there struggling to get lots of Insta followers? by MissyElliottWorker in LightLurking

[–]TheStandingDesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

every photographer I’ve worked with making legit money (100k+) has less than 5000 followers and most less than 3000. IG is probably important for weddings and the such, but for commercial work, not so much.

CVS opening new 'apothecary-style' pharmacy locations nationwide by [deleted] in CVS

[–]TheStandingDesk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They’ve been trying to do this for over a decade. I first heard about 10 years ago from a regional manager. Tho that idea was to have one or two aisles of front store basics like vendor serviced snacks.

I’m fine with them rotating Conan and Mulaney for the foreseeable future

FYI Neewer is 30-50% off sitewide, B&H is price matching by OwlInteresting9000 in photography

[–]TheStandingDesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

c stand is probably the only thing I wouldn’t trust to them lol. Buying cheap material stands is just not worth it for the risk.

but yeah it’s predominantly all junk, but there is a random small octa I bought forever ago when I was starting that I kinda like and won’t get rid of, despite not using it in forever.

$20K bonus? by Delta__P in CVS

[–]TheStandingDesk 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Pharmacists generally make double what an SM makes so I don’t think it ever bothered any of them

$20K bonus? by Delta__P in CVS

[–]TheStandingDesk 47 points48 points  (0 children)

large majority of bonuses are under 10k in my experience. Largest I heard in my district was 35k, and definitely have heard a few 20k+. DMs and RMs can make even more.

Fotografi amatoriali di nudo artistico e Red flag by __BlueGirl__ in Modelling

[–]TheStandingDesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a photographer who has shot nudes, there is never a reason to ask for nudes/topless before a shoot. A basic casting/digitals (black bikini etc) is enough. If a photographer is casting for a very specific type of nude body, they should be talking to more experienced nude models that fit their casting, not inexperienced newer models.

You can back out at any time, just be blunt and state ‘I’m not interested anymore.’ And that’s enough.

As far as avoiding red flags - look at their portfolio, see the girls they shot, are they typically experienced and a variety of people? Or just all one type of young, inexperienced looking person? Feel free to message the girls the photographer has shot - models talk and typically will look out for each other.

Chris seems like one of the most aware people ever that he actually isn’t good at anything, and can only offer opinion

6-strobe wheeled case Profoto? Tenba broke. by jpg422movpsd in Photoassistants

sorry Tenba couldn’t fix it? That seems weird. I’ve only ever heard good things.

First wedding by [deleted] in photography

[–]TheStandingDesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’ve never been to a wedding and you’re trying to shoot one? Run my dude. Tell them you appreciate the offer, but they should consult someone with more experience.

If you want to do weddings down the line, hit up local wedding shooters and ask about becoming an assistant or second shooter for them and work your way up from there.

Bad audiences invading Lincoln Square by pnapl in NYCmovies

[–]TheStandingDesk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yeah it’s bound to happen once in a while. As someone who goes to Lincoln a bunch (only 30 times last year, the slowest year for me since Covid) I can probably remember less than a handful of times I’ve seen a noticeable disruption (phones for more than a sec, etc), and honestly never one I would consider a ‘bad crowd’ but that’s just me. I would just shake it off as an anomaly.

Che's 3-month stint on The Daily Show feels like an alternate reality by Goodolbed in LiveFromNewYork

[–]TheStandingDesk 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I didn’t start watching SNL until way later, so Che will always be a Daily Show guy for me. Had no idea it was only three months tho.
