I feel it makes very little sence to judge the number of shots a photog takes without seeing the outcome. To evaluate if these many shots give a potentional benefit or not I would like to see the work produced.
I would agree. However, I think it begs some questions like, what is an acceptable amount of delivery time in the client's eyes, and does overshooting result in affecting that time to a point that it becomes a problem? With most couples I've asked what timeframe seems fair, every single one of them say a month or less. This is why my turnaround is four weeks. I'm done at two weeks, but it takes me the other two to get my deliverables.
Like I said, if one wants to shoot 5-10k, and is able to deliver in a reasonable timeframe, more power to them. It's no skin off my nose. However, there are MANY photographers that push 6 weeks, 8 weeks, or even longer. If those shooters are shooting 4k, 6k or 10k images (which seems to be the case from a few discussions right here on this forum), is that becoming a problem?
Maybe none of it matters in the end; but in the client's eyes, I'm sure many wonder, "what the hell is taking so long?" if they're waiting 2, 3, or 4+ months. What do some of you think the clients would say if they knew it was partly because you shot 10,000 images? (besides the obvious, "let me see them all")
