A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Not a lot of things disappoint me in life but this thing sure did. I showed her my portfolio, everything was great I agreed to do the wedding for 400$ and asked 150 as an advance to book me. Pre wedding is in one week , she ghosted me no response, called her she cut the call. Is it generally this tough getting clients

Honey, you dodged a bullet

A wedding for 400$ - thatcs not the kind of client you would want. The 400$ is why they bailed on you, that just screams to me "I don't value your time, your skill, my cousin can do it for free"

Not everywhere pays the same as America

I live in Europe. OP used the $ sign, it's okay to assume they are in country where wedding photography prices are similar and even in India, lavish weddings are held.

No, it’s not.
North Americans and Europeans need to stop thinking they’re the center of the world and everybody lives there.
USD$ is used for American dollars
$ is used for money
