This week’s hosted article (rather then having a Facebook wall, how about a website’s wall instead?)
Top 4 Ways To Make A Photographer Fall In Love With You
1. Help promote them. Photographers are usually really good at being creative, thinking about ways to solve visual challenges, and meeting deadlines. But most are terrible at promoting themselves – something they’ll freely admit. In this arena, they need all the help they can get. If you’re willing to put in a good word about them, or do something that helps them promote themselves, you’ll be a hero in their eyes.
2. Hire them for their style, let them shoot their style. Photographers will routinely get assignments based on their shooting style, which is a great compliment. But too often, an editor will ask them to abandon their style, and shoot something that’s completely different. What started out as a compliment (selecting them based on their own style) has become an insult (saying that style isn’t sufficient).
If you hire them for their uniqueness, you should have the confidence to let them use it. If you do this, they could easily fall madly in love with you.
3. Respect them. Treat them as a partner. A photographer will love you if you treat them as an essential element in the creative process, and their creative vision is what you’re paying them for – not their skills at operating a camera. Sadly, for most photographers, this is a rare experience. But, when it happens, an editor should be prepared to feel the love.
4. Pay them on time, and don’t be cheap. Nobody, in any business, likes to wait for payment. Photographers are almost always working on a deadline – their images are expected quickly, and by a certain time and date. A photographer will love you if you treat their invoices the same way they treated your deadlines.
