11 months agoI’m sure you also started out as an amateur, everyone does. I’m working my ass off to turn this into a career, so I will learn, and I will offer lower prices and if you call that “undercutting” I think you should reminisce on your days as a beginner and ask yourself if you felt like you were worth the same amount as the “professionals” at the time. Am I undercutting people who are already getting fully booked anyway? Or am I pricing myself appropriately for my work while I continue to learn and grow?
It truly was me quite a lot of the time. I wasn’t fast enough. This shoot was outdoors, and I shoot in manual mode (looking back I should have done some in automatic just to TRY to save my ass) my lense is manual focus so I the whole time the two year old is zooming around, I’m DESPERATELY trying to refocus. I learned a ton from this shoot, including that I will never be doing a propped shoot again
