  For the price of one shoot, you can buy someone’s lightly used $5,000 kit on ebay. I’ve had a Canon I bought a decade ago that’s still works great. Maybe got it for $250 or so IIRC.

  Ohhhh this pisses me off soooooo much. I decided to do family photos and specifically asked for the raws before I went into the shoot. They still gave me a hard time after the shoot to get the raws. They gave me a stripped down .dng without any camera settings. Ohhhh that pisses me off so much.

  I found a guy willing to chuck me RAWs for a lower price, still felt a bit ripped off. He shot 90% of the day on a walkabout zoom and the photos were nothing special.

    The audacity to ask for the raw, unprocessed photos for a lower price, and then complain that they look boring.

    You wanted the raws. Process them yourself.

      I mean this comment makes total sense if we pretend that all photos are equally valuable and that the color balance is the only issue but not if we actually address the part where the photographer ostensibly took a bunch of poorly framed candids and failed to capture the energy of the moment

      Processing won’t do shit to a shitty shot, with terrible composition and lighting.

      The processing didn’t make them boring, the photographer did.

      That has the same energy as going to a restaurant and asking for the raw ingredients.

        The craft I’m paying for is in the taking of the photos, processing is subjective and isn’t going to transform a shitty photo into a gorgeous one. Your restaurant comparison is shitty, it would only make sense if I was asking to just plate the food myself.
