Re: Giving Discounts


what discussion can there possibly be? You just totally nailed it to the wall.

and you didn\'t even go into things like:

computer replacement schedules
software upgrades
camera/lens replacement/upgraded
equipment repair

We had an engagement session that paid a lot better than other sessions before it. Clients paid for the session, they bought prints, they even bought a canvas.

Except that as I got ready to shoot a freaking\' ring shot and asked my wife for the 100 macro... stuff got tangled, fate intervened and the 100 2.8 ended up on the floor in pieces. Cost to repair was too close to rebuying so we rebought.

That night and for the next two days I edited the photos to the best of my ability (chick had a serious skin condition and I did my best to minimize it in camera and then edit it in post) .... knowing full well that at the end of the day after all was said and done I\'d worked for maybe $6 an hour.

so yeah... discount my ass. I\'ll offer upgrades at a reduced rate... basically giving them MORE for little MORE but discount... go see craigslist.

Excellent post Tony. Instant classic.
