Sense of entitlement
🕑 Added 2025-02-13 13:55:58 +0000 UTCThere are times I'm fine with doing trade shoots. The support I get from you folks makes a big difference, so I'm not limited just to selling my services when I want to create art.
This shoot, being honest, was a wakeup call. It helped me to solidify, in writing, what the policy needs to be when someone agrees to certain trade concepts, and I drive a significant distance to make the shoot happen, but then they suddenly try to change the concepts on me, on-site, and assume I'll just go along with it, as if they're a paying client.
I love in-the-moment collaboration of ideas. But I don't love when someone is outright dishonest about what image styles they intend to do—sending me specific images, telling me they want to do those styles, permitting me to mentally plan for those styles, and then suddenly and unilaterally deciding otherwise when they've got me there in person.
