Pulling Back the Curtain on Some of Our Favorite Client Stories

“Nothing deflates you faster than someone not responding to your
amazing photograph,” explains host Deevo. As professional
photographers, hosts Deevo and Lisa are well aware of the good
and bad sides of the photography industry. Even though you can
get all the accolades in the world, humbling days just come with
the territory. In today’s episode, Lisa and Deevo pull back the
curtain on taking photos for a living.


Many people fail to grasp the work that goes into professional
photography. From communicating with demanding clients to
ghosting inquirers to dealing with drunk brides, Deevo and Lisa
have dealt with it all. Although there are many annoying aspects
of the job, Deevo and Lisa are proud of what they do: capturing
special moments in people’s lives.


Tune into this week’s episode of A Little Impolite Podcast for a
demystifying conversation on the life of a photographer. Learn
more about people’s “good sides,” bridesmaids who act like
bridezillas, and why you should always be considerate of other
peoples’ professions.


Quotes


• “Nothing deflates you faster than someone not responding to
your amazing photograph.” (8:25 - 8:30) [Deevo]


• “Seeing a photograph of yourself or seeing yourself in a video
never looks like how you see yourself every morning in the
mirror.” (9:02 - 9:10) [Deevo]


• “If you're doing a good job, people will recommend you. And you
don't ever want to hold it over someone else. Let's be good
humans. Let's just recommend people because they did a good job.”
(16:58 - 17:16) [Lisa]


• “We need to be considerate of other people in their
professions. What we think they do, we never see behind the
curtains what they're actually putting into it or the experiences
they’ve had to bring them to that professional point.” (18:50 -
19:03) [Lisa]


• “Let us do our job. You're paying us a lot of money to do this.
We understand what we're supposed to accomplish. I don't need you
to come over here, hold my hand, and tell me where and when to
go.” (24:30 - 24:39) [Deevo]


• “People don't know your business. When you're in it every day,
you're the expert. And people think that they know about
Photoshop. So, you run into many situations where people say,
“Can't you just airbrush that out? People haven't airbrushed
anything in, I don't know, like 30 years. Second, there's not an
easy button that you just push, and it's done. So, if you can
wipe the snot off your baby's noses, it makes it easier for us,
right? “You can just Photoshop that.” (36:29 - 37:02)
[Lisa]
