“Such the same”?
He’s an Italian, you know-a what-a he say-a, and what he meant-a to say-a… maybe-a …
Much The Same,
As Taken With
An iPhone-a
No sympathy…. We all know how easy it is…
Amazing. People are so ignorant, not understanding the job that took you years to perfect. Perhaps we should make everybody do a 4 year photography course to reduce the chances of offending you?
…and the snitty things people say when you point them out…
“if you send me the photos i’ll upload them for you, dont think you’ll need to edit them”
“Go get a real job”
The Pros have every reason to feel threatened; amateurs are taking great shots with ever-advancing equipment. Adapt, innovate, be unique.
So what are we allowed to say?
Try “thank you”
This is the latest in a series of similar posts – are those in the creative industry really so thin-skinned about the par for the course things that clients say to them? Providing a professional service is never easy, and a big part of the challenge is not only understanding the needs of your clients, but also dealing appropriately with their inherent lack of understanding of how it is you do it.
Presumably, if they did fully understand all of the ins and outs of photography/graphic design/marketing/what ever the case may be, they would be able to do it themselves and not have to bother you with their mildly irritating questions and wads of cash.
