Set a deposit fee before the shoot. Then get the rest after your shoot (after you get them their pics back)

Might want to write up a contract also.

Just saw this exchange on my timeline. Lol i learned from this now i know im definitely never doing my work for free.

i wouldnt be surprised if dude has more stories like that. I avoid shooting the type of broads he shoots for a few reason, 1 of them being the be actin entitled to the photos.

You can click the links for the rest of the videos explaining the story.

SMH its crazy. Like he said she got 3000 followers off this and he is basically stuck at the same. Hoes really do win too much.

this is one of the other reasons. you dont get no damn followers shooting hoes. but the hoes get followers. its not the wave you want to ride if you really want bread working with brands and corporations.

Nah i would still do it cause there are plenty of these chicks who are serious and sell a little strange for some change so there is always easy money cause all these girls need photos. Im just speaking in general how hoes do the bare minimum and get all these followers and we gotta work extra hard.

and you don't even have to work with brands and corporations if that is too hard. you can go above the IG chicks by also fukking with the upscale escort chicks and maybe charge them more :lolbron: since they the ones that make even more paper than these IG chicks.

you shooting exclusively wit the x100? is that the OG or did you get a T?
and @koven link up if you hear for more than the weekend. i gotta shoot a music event tuesday and possibly wednesday


I upgraded the x100 but I shoot with a few cameras now.

I'm here till next week! It's so hard to get around here without my ride/team. Nothing like LA tho. I need a house on the hills and a loft in Hollywood.

^ :shaq: great work

No seriously though great pic. What do you do in like the last pic to make parts of the pic blurry? Or in the other pics what do you do in the editing to make her stand out more

Understanding Depth of Field for Beginners

Shoot with a 50mm or longer lens and crank the aperture to 2.8 or larger.

As far as making her "stand out" more in post you could create a mask that surrounds the subject (particularly the face/eyes) and play with levels/saturation to make the subject pop from the background more. The better way to do it is during the shoot with a backlight that creates separation by outlining the subject.
