As a photographer, I know that the industry can be tough. But let me tell you, nothing is tougher than receiving an inquiry and then being told "I found someone cheaper." It's a blow to the gut that can only be rivalled by being told "my cousin has a camera and can take pictures." But let me tell you, I have come to accept this as just another day in the life of a photographer.
So, what do you do when faced with this situation? Well, first of all, you take a deep breath. Then, you remind yourself that there will always be someone cheaper. But, and this is a big but, there won't always be someone better. I mean, sure, your cousin may have a camera, but does he have the experience, the creativity, and the eye for detail that a professional photographer has? I think not. However I could be wrong
The truth is, photography is a craft that takes years of hard work and dedication to master. And when someone decides to go with a cheaper option, they're sacrificing the quality of their images. And let's be real, what's the point of hiring a photographer if you're not going to get quality images?
So, next time you're faced with someone who says they found someone cheaper, just smile, nod, and wish them the best of luck with their cheaper option. And who knows, they may come crawling back to you when they realize that quality is worth the investment.
In conclusion, being a photographer is a challenging but rewarding job. And when faced with the phrase "I found someone cheaper," just remember that quality always beats quantity. So, hold your head up high and keep on snapping those beautiful memories!
