Photography

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.

Anyone ever had issues with a job or client that hires you based on your portfolio, but then asks you to take photos in a manner that goes against what you know are best practices? (alien.top)

For example, being asked to use harsh lighting instead of soft lighting on subjects, using on camera flash, etc.

I’ll do what the client asks, but it concerns me that they don’t trust my knowledge (not saying I’m all knowledgeable).

Yes but then I tell them that’s not what I do. I show them full galleries prior to hiring me. I’ll shoot in my style and shoot what I know. If they want something else then they can find that with a photographer that’s a better fit.
