Are you constantly expected to load and unload your equipment, drive for hours, hire a studio or hall at your expense, pay a model, reload your gear, drive again, unload, then spend 4 or more hours in front of a screen editing and email attachments or post CDs?
Are you worth nothing? A days TFP can cost £120 to £150.
Are you appreciated? 'Thanks for the images, they were superb/good/just what I wanted' Or ignored?
I always send a 'thank you' text or email (which is often ignored).
PLEASE don't have a go at me in reply to this post, I'm asking questions, interested in how others feel.
I know why and how I do what I do, and how often and where I'll continue to or not to do it. How about you?
