Caporegime
He's no longer suspended..
I don't want to wrongly judge the OP.
Perhaps he is still a bit upset and stressed over his girlfriend deciding she didn't want to be his limo driver any more?
He's no longer suspended..
Just wow!
What a thread, your attitude totally stinks! It has all been covered by other posts, but had to pick up on this again "Shot 10 weddings" ?!
We have 50 this year and top of our list is keeping clients happy!
BTW OP, the thread title should read 'their wedding', just saying
Can you post your facebook business? - So I dont ever book you.
Bad attitude and arrogant.
I agree, their initial message was abit strong and no need for the language. But, if you posted my wedding photos before even I had seen them, I'd be miffed too.
Clients you've got come first. Future clients second.
Seeing as you have missed the point entirely you clearly aren't that good. Being 'good' isn't just about taking the pictures themselves.
I wouldnt hire you, I tend too find that people who think they are good or talk about their "different style" are never as good as they think they are. I know some of the best photographers in the business and they never talk about how good their work is, they just shoot.
You were in the wrong and while I did think the persons response was wrong, after seeing your "personality" come out in this thread, his response was probably the right one.
Nice attitude OP you come across as a right arrogant ****
At first I had some sympathy from you. It at least seems like a bit of an honest mistake, the guy was rude to you, and as you said "lesson learned"
But then you posted this.
Honestly, I'm glad you're getting work from it, I know how hard it is to build yourself a rep and to get regular work but to post such an arrogant, self loving cocky post...jesus wept.
Especially the "May sound a little cocky but I am good at what I do , if I wasn't people wouldn't hire me."
Have you SEEN how many utterly **** photos/graphers you see around getting regular work all the time?! heard of the eBay photographers etc? The guy had a point with his "wise up" comment. I've not seen your work, I've no doubt you're good at what you do, but I doubt you're the next David Bailey.
The guy was a dick to you, but you sound like you need taking down a peg or two. Take it on the chin, remove the images, say you're sorry and learn from it.
It's a good thing it's not your full time job because you'd be eating cold beans out of a tin in no time with that attitude. The right thing to do would have been to apologise and remove the photos.
This is one customer out of 20 people ! This isnt my view to all my clients , I don't agree with his vile comment he made to me, lots of ways of approaching someone whos made a mistake , I apologized to the customer right away... I am also giving them a free print in a frame to keep them happy.
You come across as having a poor attitude and sound a bit like David Brent
Apparently, that's what also makes your attitude stink. Talk about a callous disregard for the people paying you...
