How to Annoy a Photographer

[Keith B]

Raise the price of lenses on a weekly basis so that every time he puts off a purchase, it cost him a couple extra hundred dollars.


$2000 for the 70-200 2.8 IS! I paid $1499 in May or June.

Thought I'd bring this thread back to the top of the list haha.


I've picked up a few more since I got hired at a local portrait studio.

1. Don't mention any special requests, then complain: that the subject is not looking at the camera, that you wanted all portrait oriented shots, etc.
2. Buy only the $7.99 package after 20 minutes of shooting your impossible to work with children.
3. Come for a family portrait in kahki pants, and dark brown sweaters with small neon green stripes.

These all may or may not be things I've experienced.. hahaha

What kills me is the people jumping into the aisle in front of me at weddings to get a shot of the bride on their camera phone. Then they want to show it to me later like I might need it to complete my assignement.

Ughhhh agreed. . . I was shooting backup on a wedding and the main photog's WIFE of all people was in just about every one of his important shots! What really annoyed me though was she was in a few of MY shots :-p Clone Stamp and backup to the rescue ;-)
