Photographers - What are you paying for? (Part One)

Disclaimer: This is not legal advice or even professional advice. This is some stuff I’ve learned along this funny little thing called life and may not apply in any way to your current situation. At worst, it’s my opinion, at best it’s some ideas for you to think about. If you need real proper advice, go see your solicitor. I’m of the opinion that photography should make me money, not cost me money. So far, I have been successful is making more from a photograph than it took me to create. Here is my list of not so secret tips and advice on covering your arse and saving your cash. When To Pay There are times where spending your hard earned money is the right choice. For example to obtain goods or services you can not find for less (or free) elsewhere. Or when you have done all the maths yourself and you feel you are buying into a good deal. But there are also some pit falls to watch out for. Art Direction, Ideas and Intellectual Property My rule of thumb, if I am paying to shoot, I should have full rights to everything I take. No ifs buts or maybes about it. If you shoot a commercial, the art direction team put together a shoot and then hire a photographer to take photos of what they and the crew have created. They pay for lighting design, they pay the models, they pay the hair stylist, they pay the guy who makes the coffees- and they pay the photographer. Some businesses operate under a similar model but suck money out of photographers in the process. As part of a ‘workshop’ or ‘event’, several photographers rock up with their cameras and take photos of a scene. Often they have little or no control of the setup, can’t communicate properly with the models and will walk out of it with similar images to everyone else who attended! In the worst cases they have restricted rights regarding how they use their images. So is essence, they have paid for something that out in the real world, would be making them money. Sorry if it sounds confusing, the concept completely baffles me. When you are shooting someone else’s ideas and have restricted publishing rights or have little influence over the set up, posing, lighting or set design, (in my opinion) you should be getting paid by them. After all, you are doing them a favor by taking images of their creative work. Classes or Tuition Wanting to improve you skills and knowledge is a great thing. And there are numerous classes, mentors and workshops available for you to choose from. If you are going to pay to attend these, make sure you are getting what you pay for. Before you hand over any cash there are a few details that you should have to help make your decision. Class Size: The more people attending, the cheaper the class should be. If there is a practical component, I usually wont accept a class bigger than 10-12 / Location & Time: no point signing up for an ‘on location’ workshop only to find it is out of your way. Also as a safety issue, you should always be able to tell a trusted person exactly where and when you will be shooting. / The Teacher: You should be able to find and contact the person facilitating the class to verify their experience and ask questions. It not always convenient for a facilitator to take calls from a whole class, but you should be able to send them an email and get a reply without going through a middle man. / Contracts: Ask if you will need to sign any contracts and insist upon receiving them before paying. / What do you get: do you get class notes to take home? Exactly what does the course entail? What can you hope to know and have learned at the end of the course? Contracts These are a great way to waste your money. They also happen to be very important. First and foremost contracts exists to make people money or stop people from making money. So before signing anything, read it a few times and make sure you are aware of what your actions are costing you. If you need to get images approved before sale or publication, you could be agreeing to never publishing or selling any images taken if none are ‘approved.’ It is completely reasonable to request changes to a contract or write your own and offer it instead. Don’t sign away potential income! You should always be able to take a contract away and show it to other people for advice before signing it, and especially before paying for anything. If you are not given this opportunity, my advice is to avoid it with a ten foot pole. And then there are the bazillion poorly written contracts that mean very little or nothing at all. It’s actually quite funny to me sometimes, what people will put on paper. Useful Links Australian Competition & Consumer Commission / Scam Watch Photographers – What are you paying for (part 2).

TROLL 101
by bchrisdesigns/> ...
[Note: The following transcripts were taken from the Red Bubble School of Etiquette’s summer workshop entitled “Troll 101”. – Enjoy!] [Begin transcript.] Attention class! Today we are going to talk about trolls and “trolling”. No, I am not referring to those horrible creatures that dwell under bridges and eat billy goats. No, the trolls I am talking about are not mythological. They are very real and they are among us. YOU could be one of them… Students, the first thing you must be aware of is that trolls may exhibit off-the-wall, abhorrent behavior that would seem, to the majority of us, as mean-spirited, off-the-cuff, and rude. Many trolls have anger issues or issues with ego and pride. You can read this Wikipedia entry for further clarification of classic troll behavior: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_ You can also find more information in this Red Bubble forum thread: http://www.redbubble.com/groups/redbubble/forums/4/topics/19793 As the Wiki states, a classic internet troll is some one who: ...posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion. But now that we have a better grasp of the common, classic troll, let’s put intentions aside, and focus on a more common and vicious threat to our very existence, students. That is right, I am talking about the elusive and very detestable Trollitis Egoramous, commonly referred to as the Ego Troll. Now, the Ego Troll can strike anywhere and at anytime. Beware that this is the most cunning and sly of all trolls, as it hides among us and takes on the ordinary, everyday appearance of an actual good person. These trolls will infest our community without so much as an iota of coldheartedness, until the day when they feel the need to bring us down, tell us like it is, and leave us withered and betrayed by the very people whom we’ve grown to admire. You, yourself, may even be an Ego Troll and not even know it! So, now students, can anyone tell me some signs that could possibly point to you or someone you know being an Ego Troll? Let’s all turn to page 222 and follow along as I read from the text: If you have done any of the following things, you may be an Ego Troll: Tell someone that they have grammatical problems in their short story? You troll!!!!! Tell someone that their composition could be a little better? YOU troll!!!!! Tell someone that their story confused you and maybe they should consider editing it a bit? You T-R-O-L-L!!!!!! Tell someone that their piece looks like…gasp!...a “snap shot”? You filthy troll!!! Tell someone that they could have been a bit more professional in their forum post? You good-for-nothing troll! Tell someone that you are not a fan of their design because it looked rushed. You lousy TROLL!!!!! Tell someone that you artwork is NOT porn but rather an artistic nude? Ugh, you troll bastard! TROLL! TROLL! TROLL! Now students, if you turn to page 716, you will find a brief example of troll-like behavior taken from one of our very own Bubble forums. Please, take a minute to read this excerpt silently to yourself… I am an overly blunt person and have been called a troll, even though what I said was (A) the truth and (B) constructive. Some people just do not like to be told anything because of inflated egos, pride, or for whatever reason that stems from their childhood. And, these people will take this definition of “troll” blow it out of proportion and use it against any person who happens to have an opinion different than thier own! I have seen it happen so many times to myself and others…who are, believe it or not, actually decent and loving people. I mean, it seems like a freakin’ troll hunt and any one who does not agree with everyone else and tell everyone else that their work is beautiful…omg! so cute…wow…amazing…you rock!... and that their forum posts are spot on…and that we agree…totally…omg, for sure… is tied to the stake and burned! Move over Salem, cause there is a new form of witch hunt abounding right here on the Bubble! Oh, and don’t disagree with anyone or have an opinion. Don’t post adult themed content – that is not art! Don’t talk about things no one else wants to talk about because it bruises their precious egos! Notice the ego maniacal approach here. Notice how the ego troll uses sarcasm, metaphor, and brutal honesty to make others feel wrong in their summations. Also notice how this troll uses terms like “truth” and “constructive” to mask its hidden agenda! Also evident here is the troll’s use of mocking and misogynistic undertones to cut down the opinions of those who may not feel the need to be so opinionated about such things. The identity of this particular troll is unknown, but, as you can see, students, you must be very cautious in your everyday dealings within the Bubble or you may one day become an Ego Troll. Just do what is expected of you and follow some of the core guidelines for Non-Troll Behavior that are outlined in your text and that I have taken the liberty of writing on the chalkboard. Let’s us now take a few minutes to commit these guidelines to memory. Guidelines to NOT be a troll: 1. Have no personal opinion. Just say what you think they want to hear. And, make sure it is all over-the-rainbow-nice! 2. Make sure the work you submit is rated R or less… none of this NC-17 or Rated X crap! That is not art…that is smut! Remember, even with an R Rating, you will be pushing the envelope. 3. Offer no constructive criticism. Constructive criticism is for workshops, college classrooms, and other websites that choose to belittle artists and writers and not put them on pedestals to worship…where they belong. Constructive criticism leads to the slitting of wrists and other body parts – remember that! 4. Join in on forum topics that have to do with movies from the 80’s, ice cream, puppy dogs, concerts, chocolate, and how much we love each other and each others’ work and how much we are all super-duper artists and writers! 5. Steer clear from taking part in forum threads that deal with anything about art, writing, society, politics, religion, and other themes that could lead to two adults firmly citing their opinions and debating the topic. Any forum thread having to do with why we are all really here should be avoided at all costs! 6. Wherever you go…BOOST egos! That is the best service we can all do for this community on a daily basis! Who cares if the photo is amateur, the story riddled with grammatical errors, the poem chliche, or that the art’s composition could be helped? These things may matter in the outside, real world, but not here in the Bubble where things are all roses and happy thoughts and fluffy-bunny-feelings. 7. Be sure to use and re-use words such as “wow”, “excellent”, “amazing”, “breathtaking”, and (my personal favorite) “awesome” when commenting on works in lieu of forthright and honest opinions, which may, in the long run, help the artist or writer. Use these words often and in abundance and you will surely be liked and voted for in challenges and competitions even if your art/writing is substandard at best. Remember, students, to NOT be a TROLL, takes patience, understanding, and marshmallow-y goodness. So, get out there and show them s’more love (well, except for the trolls, you can hate them because we all do because they are vile and disgusting and should be banished from the Bubble)! And, always be sure to call anyone who exhibits the behaviors of a troll a “Troll”, because that is what they are (by definition) and so that is what they need to be called. And, no, don’t worry calling someone a “Troll” does not make you a troll yourself because that person deserves it. Any further questions, my wonderfully talented pupils? No? Good. Class dismissed.

I was at evening classes many years ago trying to improve my picture taking and also learning developing and printing of 35mm roll film. This shot of Sofie was one I took in a class on how to take better portraits. I had to do all of the setting up and getting her to pose etc, so this is entirely my creation. I developed it afterwards and was very pleased with the results. I love the softness to the shot and the grain from the printing process and then the scanning has added to the softness. The shot was taken on my Canon AE1 35mm camera about 20 years ago and scanned into the computer.
