Not only have I been a victim of someone editing out my watermark and not paying for the package but I’ve been seeing people ask for Santa photos for cheaper than $20?

Why is this normal ? I don’t understand how someone can want a professional photographer with exspensive equipment and high quality skill to take time out their schedule to not only shoot the photos but edit and proof them. If that’s not worth at least $50 then why not just get creative with that iPhone you dropped $1k on ?

    “I have a smart phone. I take photos. No one pays me to take a photo. Why should I pay you just cause you have a fancy camera?”

    That’s basically why… everyone thinks they’re a photographer and it’s just the camera that makes the photo, all the photos they’ve ever taken have just required holding the camera and pressing the button… they don’t know what goes into a good photo.
