How much should I pay for a photoshoot? I can't believe it costs 3,000 for a fucking 10 photo photoshoot. Should I get a refund or some shit and find somewhere else?

Is this an Ark thread?

Photoshoot for what?
It couldn't cost anymore than 25/hour unless you're talking about renting a studio/event space and hiring an entire production team for a big advert. Photographers are literally a dime a dozen, they'll work for scraps.

In my experience if you let them shoot you naked they'll usually agree to do it for free

you get what you pay for,

you want high quality work then you're gonna pay for it

That's a dumb fucking portrait. I'm assuming this is the type of shit you like, meaning your IQ is in the low double digits.

I've worked as photographer for 7 years with firms and by myself. $3,000 for a pleb tier photoshoot is getting jewed. You're probably paying some retarded suburban dad with expensive equipment to touch your penis more than take quality photos so he can pay for hookers on the side when he avoids the family he regrets.

Lmfao this fucking comment right here

Yeah OP I have two friends who are famous photographers, even they would not charge that much for 10 photos.

The low-tier photographers I know charge like $400 for a shoot, or something like that.

I got so fucking sick of dealing with photographers for my music stuff, I just bought my own camera, bought a tripod, got a Lightroom account, and started doing my own photography shit.

Fuck photographers. Untalented hacky pieces of shit all need to get a real job.

...

Any idiot can take a friggin picture in front of a white cloth

you got a fucking problem with it bitch?

90% of being a photographer is owning a nice lens

10/10 edgy

10% closet homosexuality

>20% gear
> 50% understanding light
> 30 people skills
> Everyone can write but that doesn't make them a writer

i want some dark stuff like this but i really trust the artist photographer who did these so i am going to buy for 3,000. i will negotiate

>those genetics
>that intelligence

it's a shame, OP

actually what I meant to say is, "Fucking normies, man...."

>visit college
>find photography department
>pay for your shoot with ramen noodles
Starving college students are a cheap source of skilled labor.

>people skills to take your own photos
Everybody who can write often writes their own shit. That analogy makes zero sense. Also professional photography is more about editing and having your own studio. How fucking clueless does a guy have to be to mention "lighting" as a skill? 13 year olds taking selfies understand as much as they need to about proper lighting.

>Bro, get a real job like me a musician or stare at excel sheets 60 hours a week bro
fucking faggot subhuman scum

Obviously your brain is too big for your skull and know all about what professional photography through years of experience. You don't understand the actual importance of lighting or photography for that matter, period. Stop acting like you do.
