Just a suggestion when it comes to online payments, try to search firstly some coupons or vouchers in internet. This is how I usually get free delivery offers, or 10-20% off the price. Just type in the company name and voucher and you will find a lot of websites which collect such deals, and if you are lucky enough :D Relating canvas, I used to order some of my work on frameshop. Personally, I find the price-quality ratio fine, and also as my work is based on the requirements of the clients, I need different printing services, and this company is specialized also with glass and paper.

The suggestion with the caution is right! regarding the followers, ask how is your name going to be presented and try to make some conclusions if you will benefit from those thousands of followers.

Hello, all.

 

A couple of months ago I did work for an international corporate client. It was my first job with this client. Their brand is highly recognizable and they have a presence in virtually every major city in America (and many cities overseas).

 

I don't have a contract with the client. I know, I should have had one drawn up. The shoot was put together at the last minute, and I bypassed that option in order to get the written approvals more quickly.

 

I delivered the images to the client per their request, and they responded they were happy with the images. I sent in my invoice, with the agreed upon amount.

 

After 30 days, I sent a follow up email. Crickets.

 

After 40 days I sent another email, and my contact there told me, per their policy, they pay vendors "Net 45," so I'd have to wait 45 days before they cut a check.

 

It's been 57 days now. I've sent a couple of follow up emails, but I'm getting nowhere. I get the "I'll check into this" type responses, but then don't ever hear back.

 

What suggestions would you guys and gals have for where I can go from here? I'm at a loss, and the amount they owe me is relatively substantial.

 

Thanks.

this is why we should always work for a deposit...the prepayment is a motivation for both the client and the executor

Hi,

 

I’ve just recently started doing photography for more than just family. I work a full time job M-F, so only do scheduled sessions on the weekends.

So, I have a potential client issue. Let’s call her A.

A reached out to me and we were discussing dates to do a session. She offered a Thursday, I explained I only do sessions on the weekends because of my actual full time job. She never answered me after that. A few weeks go by, she reaches out again and we schedule a session. The morning of, literally 10 minutes before I left my house to go to said session, she texts me and cancels. She asks about another date, I kindly remind her again I have a full time job and do not do sessions during the week. She never replied to me.

Now, a few weeks later, she messages me AGAIN asking to schedule a session. To give her the benefit of the doubt and to help lengthen my portfolio, I asked her what day or time she had in mind.

As of now, no answer. Obviously, this isn’t working out. I’m trying to figure out 1) If I should even say no and 2) If I do, how do I say it?

I don’t want to lose a potential client and the chance to add to my new portfolio, but it’s incredibly annoying to go back and forth constantly with her.

 

Thoughts?

think the easiest way is to say that any king of photo shooting is not your style.And this is not even a lie, photographers do have some specializations, some are taking only nature pictures, others like working with people///
