There are a lot of photographers available for certain types of shoots. I try to avoid being one of those. I'd rather shoot for something less exciting and get paid well. I can, and do shoot what I want. When someone hires me though, money really does matter. I’ve had to pass on a lot more shoots over the past year or so do to price.

It's been a while since I saw your site. You took the words right out of my mouth though. I do only portrait work and get calls once in a while from celebs. They seem to think they are gracing me by allowing me to photograph them. They want the digital negs which I never sell and they want it for free. I ask myself the same question. had to comment on it. Hope you are well!!!!!! Hey Jeff, I just found this. It’s been a while since I saw your site. You took the words right out of my mouth though.

They offered me a fraction of what I quoted them and they still refused to let me keep copyright. I agree with Jeff, sometimes you just have to let some shoots go, just because it would leave you a bitter taste in your mouth and it's not about the money.

I'm sure you would have made up the difference..... The photo of the nerd might have been a little more today, but the Brad Pitt pix could have made you alot of $$$$ in syndication.
