hey, i'm sorry about your situation where you didn't get paid for that gig. if it helps, maybe you could generate a contract prior to agreeing to do any job. i'm not an expert at contract making, but having a contract would bind the person towards paying you for your services. your photos are really good and you should be compensated for them.

Hey hun thank you for the message i appreciate the sentiment 💕

It's a bit more complicated than that unfortunately, in this case i was working for my own publication so i'd ideally have to pay myself.

On the other hand if i make up a contract or even ask for payment i won't get the gigs at all so it's between working for free or not having anyrhing to show for it. 🥲

#i keep doing it because it brings ppl to my page and hopefully one day i'll be able to do this full time #and also bc i do get to see a lot of shows for free #i don't get too fussed about it tho and go out to enjoy the show and i'm not strictly like take photo edit and send you know #like i will not do a 24h turn around for a gig i wasn't paid for and yeah i'll drink 2 or 3 beers or more if it's a fest #like i'm not going out of my way to look more professional or wtv bc in the end i'm there for myself only #also there's the deal of artists wanting some pics i took and not wanting to pay or trying to book me for free #and that i won't take anymore. it's either you do it or get someone to take phone pics of the show 🤷🏽‍♀️#but yeah i will always complain about this bc our work is not appreciated #even here on tumblr how many ppl repost without even crediting the photog :/ it takes 2 minutes fr
