I'm still hoping to see a section somehow for newbies, in where the cheapo clients can post and say for your portfolio and stuff like that.
I'm sure there are those who wants to use this as some sort of their training ground (but actually its the wrong way to go)
Then another for more serious jobs.
Maybe for the newbies section, it can be no guarantee sections.
I dont know, its just a suggestion, hoping to weed out those who exploit the industry and for those stupid enough to be exploited.
Any other suggestions?
how does have a place to allow "cheapo clients can post and say for your portfolio and stuff like that"
can help in "weed out those who exploit the industry and for those stupid enough to be exploited"???
anyway, we can see lot of photographers offering
PAID Services and TFCD for All Sort at the same time in the photography service directory.
some of them have to doing these years after years, isn't it more than enough for those cheapo clients already?
if you are saying still not enough cheapo jobs for newbies photographers now.
think carefully, isn't this is a sign of "
supply more than the demand"??
we already seen how many so call "customers/clients" they way they look at photographers, $2 jewellery shots, $2 architectural shots, $5 food shots, $5 blogshop shots, still not enough har?
do you know how many full time photographers quit?
do you know how many full time photographers have to take up part time jobs not related to photography in order to stay in their business?
do you know how many just start out photographers can't last for a year or two?
I'm not try to frighten anyone, this is very real.
to be in photography business is not just about can take good photos, or have awesome gears, or good portfolio, more than 80% of our time and efforts is spent on running a business.
To what you have suggested, it is not helping anyone here.
