Which lens ball should I buy?
An 80mm size is a good option for most photographers. The balls I’ve been photographing with are 100 or even 120mm in diameter. Those balls are weightier, which would put a lot of people off carrying them around. The image inside the larger balls is better in quality, though.
Should you give your customers all of your photos?
It’s very common for a professional photographer to have a customer ask to be given all of the photo files from a day of shooting. Invariably, the photographer will try to persuade the customer against it, or even refuse outright. It leaves some customers confused—or possibly even angry.
What happens if you show unedited photos to your friends?
There can be a good deal of harm done to the professional photographer. If a customer were to show these unedited, cast-off photos to friends and family, it could seriously harm the photographer’s reputation.
Is Your photographer’s unused photos upsetting your customers?
No matter how much a customer assures a photographer that they will not be upset by the raw, unedited stack of hundreds of photos, this invariably turns out to be the case. The customer sees themselves portrayed in unflattering ways in these unused photos and becomes upset. They’re left feeling doubtful about their photographer’s abilities.
How can I convince my clients to hire me as a photographer?
If you want to sweeten the deal, send your clients a little “back of the camera” love by taking a quick cell phone picture of a straight-out-of-camera image that catches your eye. Let them know that you are very excited to work on their images and give them realistic expectations for turnaround times.
