This may come off as unprofessional, perhaps rude...frankly I don't care because I find the reason behind me posting this exceptionally unprofessional and RUDE. To any other photographers who e-mail me requesting my prices under the guise of a potential client...if you want to know, just man up and ask. Someday, if you ever make it far enough in business that is, you will realize what a HUGE time suck that is, and how incredibly rude and unprofessional it is. As a professional courtesy, I personally, always identify myself for what I am and what I am seeking...actual PORTRAITS. Not trying to sneak by and steal info from people who have put in the time to actually do the WORK.
So here's a big tip for ALL of you who have inevitably wasted my time and the time of MANY of my friends:
You'd be surprised what people will share with you, be willing to do for you, help you with etc... if you just come out and ask. However, this practice of childish behaviour seems to be getting out of hand. We're (other professionals who have put the TIME into their business and education) all REALLY sick of it. Sorry we're busy trying to cater to REAL clients. Learn THAT.
