Funny, but painfully true. Especially at the end “why don’t you show us what you did so we can do it in house next time”

Funny stuff.
I find it funny that anywhere outside the western world this is pretty normal stuff. It’s very typical to negotiate. I’ve lived in Brazil for a short time doing some work and stuff I would never think of negotiating for here, I do there.
Oh well, still funny.
Brilliant – my wife owns her own graphic design studio – I can’t believe how many times people try to do this to her….
It took me a while to get around to watching the video since you posted it, but it was worth it! People just don’t understand that they’re paying for expertise and creativity, *especially* in photography.
I recently shot a small wedding for some friends, absolutely free and happy to do it. A few weeks later I was chatting to the groom and he told me, quite astonished, that he’d been looking on the web for wedding photographers and some of them charged $1,000. I said “that’s cheap! A good photographer should cost at least $3,000.” After that I think he appreciated what I’d done for him a little bit more.
People will do anything to get something for free or half price, specially in this economy I see all the time its sad but true, jen
