Changes in the industry

Well, it's been 3 years since we transitioned from part to full time freelancers. The industry is changing and too many people think great photos should be had at dirt cheap prices.

We've learned, and we know what we need to change.

From here on out, when people insult us by asking if we can meet rock bottom, dirt cheap, pricing charged by point and shoot amateurs, we will suggest however politely that the buyer buys the cheaper imagery.

If that's all they can afford, they aren't the right client for us.

If that's all they think our professional photography is worth, they still aren't the right client for us.

You wouldn't walk into a 5 star restaurant, inspect the menu, and insult the owner and chef by claiming you can get a decent steak down the street for half the price. And you wouldn't get a great steak with same quality service down the street anyway.

Shop where you want, but don't insult the business professional by insisting their work is worth the same as some amateur who is making extra change along side their real business.

For us, this means some big changes to our business plan. If you can't afford to pay for professional work, call your high school aged nephew and have them do it for free.

Don't ask us for free work and then brag about your business successes.
