As professional photographers one of the things we are constantly faced with is the myriad of people who want us to work for free for one reason or another. Now there might be times where I might actually do that, but simply stated it has to really mean something to me that actually means it really isn't free.
But for the most part we hear things like, "You will get photo credit" and "It is great exposure". Or sometimes we hear "We don't have much of a budget". Well I already have more "photo credits" then I could ever count and a few million people see my photos in any given month. And finally I am not responsible for your budgeting mistakes.
With that said the following video was recently posted on the Photo Business News and Forum Blog by John Harrington. John has one of the best photography business blogs you could ever want to read.
Anyway, it is a video by writer Harlan Ellison ("Outer Limits" "Star Trek") from his upcoming documentary "Dreams With Sharp Teeth". It is a few laughable minutes as he describes a major studio attempting to get something for free. You gotta watch this one!
Thanks and keep coming back if you "Wanna See More...?"
