Navigating Photography Business Nightmares: Lessons from The Edit
In the latest episode of The Edit Weekly, we dive into the weirdest and worst experiences we've faced as photographers! These are the types of stories you wait a long time to tell. There's definitely a little juicy gossip in there, but we also shared what we each learned from the experience to help you, the listener, when you find yourself in similar situations.
⭐️Whitney shares what she did when a bride's mother wasn't happy with a contract. This experience was with her associate studio, so even more care needed to be taken to protect the photographers working for her!
⭐️Erin shares what she did when a client was in her home and continued to try to emotionally manipulate her to give her a discount... even pretending to be sick, yikes!
⭐️Amanda shares her experience as an employee with a photography studio who put her in an unethical situation.Even though all of our stories were so different, there was definitely a theme. Here are our key takeaways:
Solid Contracts: Always have clear, detailed photography contracts to protect yourself and your clients.
Proper Insurance: Ensure you have comprehensive insurance for all scenarios.
Trust Your Gut: Stand up for yourself and trust your instincts when something feels off.
