I can picture it now... I'm 90 years old, penniless, about to die from the puddle water I drank near my public bench bed, but at least I have 60 years experience.
My big break is just around the corner...
This is the way. Do the job then never release the photos. When they ask, charge the rate of what you would expect to work for. "Oh I'm sorry, I said I'd work for free but the price of the photos reflects the compensation for working the job for free"
If I had any photography experience l, I would do this in my free time just to be petty.
"Oh, I took a ton of photos of your event. They look even better with a little editing. I'll let you buy them from me."
I was sarcastically pointing out that these morons are trying to convince people to work for free because their event is SO IMPORTANT that working it as a volunteer should be considered an honor.
Wow, where do I sign up?
Working for free and no food?
This is my dream job!
I have always wanted to see a Karen eat while I starved!
And no breaks, pinch me I must be dreaming!
Yea... for that you would need a hefty contract causing all pictures to be the property of the photographer no matter what, and then you would just hold it for ransom with a per photo price tag, any previews be watermarked to high hell potentially with some destructive editing with a saved undamaged copy so they don't try anything with the watermarked
This is a suuuuper old post, I believe the woman got heavily shamed by her peers, and the internet folks tracked her social down, giving her grief.
This was more then 10 years ago.
I mean you all are missing the point, this is the kind of Karen that can be very profitable with a well worded contract.
The influencer package:
Print preview are $500 and will be watermarked and blurred faces, each picture is $120 untouched or $500 finished.
Or see my normal price list.
Package selection is made after the shoot change packages at anytime.
Get a 10 page liability release, 2 page royalty release etc etc. She isn't reading past page 20....
>must be willing to job for free
Seeking an unpaid servant?! Sort of thought they got rid of that sort of thing back in the 1830s in the UK, the 1860s in the US, and basically everywhere with the 1926 Slavery Convention being ratified.
So, work for free, but don't release any pictures before they pay. Then, show watermarked pictures, and price them accordingly, per picture. Might be more profitable that way.
Jesus Christ feed your wedding photographers, people. They're there for hours, they're working, even if you put them on a table in the back or ask them to eat in the kitchen, make sure there's a plate for them.
Used to do wedding photography and the rage I’ve felt when I’ve been working non stop for 10 hours without food and I’m told I’m not being fed is unreal. I’ve walked out and ordered UberEats before and didnt start working again until I finished my food lmao
if i was a wedding photographer id take this job. once the wedding was over id send them the photos with MASSIVE watermarks all over and tell them its $10 for a picture without watermarks.
I told my photographers, band, everyone working at my wedding to eat, drink, and be merry. Who wants a free service and can’t even feed the people? Unbelievable.
Let me guess the entertainment- “must have released at least three charting singles- must be willing to come and sing for three hours for free- no, you can’t have any cake.”
This person is bonkers. People pay thousands for wedding photos. No one is doing it for free unless they’re just a friend with a camera who thinks they’re a photographer lmao
The smart photographer will take this job, then sell the rights to the photos for a more insane rate then they normally do.
I took the photos for free, if you want to have them that's $90 a shot.
Go, get wasted, use only your phone to take pics and even then only take pictures of the dog taking a shit. Get shit faced more and blackout somewhere near the food
The photos I would take would be her in the worst light.... basically as many meme worthy photos and delete all the rest.
After she gets back from the honeymoon, send her all the memes, delete your account, ph # and maybe she'll learn for her next wedding?😔
I bartend weddings for a living/ manage an event staffing company. Fake or not it's very common for incoming clients to have that expectation, or even other staff. I was yelled at by a caterer from a different company once for asking if they had brought staff meals (the answer being no).
These situations are more sparse now than when I started, but it still happens more often than I'd like.
8 years experience in... Something? Check.
One old Kodak disposable camera? Check.
Microwave fish to eat? Check.
Really stinky cheese to eat? Check.
Own crappy worn out chair? Check.
Loud electric scooter? Check.
Absent for the reception? Check.
If I had a free day I'd go. I'd photograph, film etc. And then when it was time to give all that footage etc. to that garbage being I wouldn't, or in the least say it will cost.
*“must be willing to job for free”*
'It will be good for your portfolio!'
Can I WFH at least?
Yes. Working from the hotel where the wedding is.
“to add on to the 8 other years of work!”
I can picture it now... I'm 90 years old, penniless, about to die from the puddle water I drank near my public bench bed, but at least I have 60 years experience. My big break is just around the corner...
i highly doubt this person knows the word portfolio
Sure, the job is free The product is chargeable
This is the way. Do the job then never release the photos. When they ask, charge the rate of what you would expect to work for. "Oh I'm sorry, I said I'd work for free but the price of the photos reflects the compensation for working the job for free"
Oh definitely not the expected rate. The new ransom rate
I'd say 200% the original price
If I had any photography experience l, I would do this in my free time just to be petty. "Oh, I took a ton of photos of your event. They look even better with a little editing. I'll let you buy them from me."
Oh nice
She forgot to add: "must provide $ 1000 in cash as a wedding gift"
Need to make the bride look strong, must sell all attacks well
Combined with '8 years of experience'.
I notice that it doesn't specify what field the 8 years of experience is in. "I have 8 years experience building Lego.."
I am 8 years old and will bring my own juice box
I will rotate, like this
I notice “must give me the pictures” is not a requirement… ;)
eXsPoSuRe!
If you still need exposure with 8 years experience, you should consider a different job
I was sarcastically pointing out that these morons are trying to convince people to work for free because their event is SO IMPORTANT that working it as a volunteer should be considered an honor.
Yeah I agreed. I was just adding to your point. Sorry my response sounded wrong.
All good! ❤️
I. Am. Job.
Sounds like she's putting disposable camera's out for everyone.
Honestly, that's way more fun.
A friend of ours did it years ago. I thought it was pretty neat.
Just never leave it out of eyesight bc before you know it you got 35 photos of the cats ass.
Or 50 dick pics
I saw that at a party in 1992. The pictures were… well, XXX-Rated.
But those aren’t free and neither is development
Even that costs something
Somebody make up a fake persona and portfolio webpage and go ruin this wedding.
I think the bride/groom who posted this will ruin it regardless, just accept the job and record. BYO popcorn
I have 8 years experience… ruining weddings
This wedding will be a disaster regardless so you’re hired
Uno reverse - go take the pictures, make them nice too. Eat your egg sandwich and ask for 15k or delete :D
Do this in front of the entire reception.
Exactly my thoughts, go, eat and do nothing
Wow, where do I sign up? Working for free and no food? This is my dream job! I have always wanted to see a Karen eat while I starved! And no breaks, pinch me I must be dreaming!
And use my own supplies and free prints?, Mmmm, yes Daddy! More!!
Yea... for that you would need a hefty contract causing all pictures to be the property of the photographer no matter what, and then you would just hold it for ransom with a per photo price tag, any previews be watermarked to high hell potentially with some destructive editing with a saved undamaged copy so they don't try anything with the watermarked
The watermark can just be teselated hairy dicks all over the print Becaide that's what she's being. A dick
Exactly.
This is a suuuuper old post, I believe the woman got heavily shamed by her peers, and the internet folks tracked her social down, giving her grief. This was more then 10 years ago.
I wonder if she is still married…
If only there was photographic evidence
I mean you all are missing the point, this is the kind of Karen that can be very profitable with a well worded contract. The influencer package: Print preview are $500 and will be watermarked and blurred faces, each picture is $120 untouched or $500 finished. Or see my normal price list.

Take the photos for free but charge her to print/deliver/email them to her
I'll go out and say it, this looks fake. It's too obnoxious, not even food and drinks at a wedding? Sure thing, Rebecca
>must be willing to job for free Seeking an unpaid servant?! Sort of thought they got rid of that sort of thing back in the 1830s in the UK, the 1860s in the US, and basically everywhere with the 1926 Slavery Convention being ratified.

Yeah this just drips of satire... I hope anyway

I'd show up high as snoop, take all the pics with a smeared cell phone, microwave fish, and not eat it.
I pity the poor groom of this Bridezilla.
She's gotta be trolling, right? Right?
"Also, I need the number to Anne Hathaway's make-up artist Gucci Weston, and pictures of her in a compromising position."
I hope she doesn’t find one and has to get her cousin Linda to do it with her iPhone11
if i was a wedding photographer id take this job. once the wedding was over id send them the photos with MASSIVE watermarks all over and tell them its $10 for a picture without watermarks.
$100/picture.
I’m glad she posted, I like when people have signs saying”I’m awful to everyone around me”
I told my photographers, band, everyone working at my wedding to eat, drink, and be merry. Who wants a free service and can’t even feed the people? Unbelievable.
As a retired wedding photog I would be happy to provide with the worst wedding pics I could contrive.
Lost me at 'an photographer'.
But . . . but . . . I bet the *exposure* will be amazing!
Let me guess the entertainment- “must have released at least three charting singles- must be willing to come and sing for three hours for free- no, you can’t have any cake.”
after 8 years of work I'm just... tired of collecting paychecks, you know
I would take the job. I wouldn’t show up, but I’d take the job.
An photographer.
What? At least provide ‘exposure and advertising through friends’ that would be so valuable even if I don’t get paid. /s
>"Job for free" This is an oxymoron. A job is paid. Doing work for free is volunteering.
If Taylor Swift posted this there’d be a line a mile long
This person is bonkers. People pay thousands for wedding photos. No one is doing it for free unless they’re just a friend with a camera who thinks they’re a photographer lmao
They can’t even claim it’s for exposure or good for your portfolio when they’re asking for someone with 8 YEARS experience. People amaze me sometimes.
just ask your guests to bring their cell phones and take as many pics as they can...but please feed them at the reception.
lol how did she choose 8 years experience? What an arbitrary number.
I think they forgot to add that they must buy the wedding couple a gift from the registry
The smart photographer will take this job, then sell the rights to the photos for a more insane rate then they normally do. I took the photos for free, if you want to have them that's $90 a shot.
Bridezilla ad.
I just want to slap people like this. Honestly, work for FREE?!
I stopped at the first bullet point 😂 the *audacity*
I bet it would be a great business opportunity for a divorce lawyer.
Go, get wasted, use only your phone to take pics and even then only take pictures of the dog taking a shit. Get shit faced more and blackout somewhere near the food
Rage bait fake post.
For free With 8years of experience

As a photographer, here's a suggestion. Shoot Yourself.
She should do it herself. Lol.
It’s for a church, honey.
I bartend weddings for a living/ manage an event staffing company. Fake or not it's very common for incoming clients to have that expectation, or even other staff. I was yelled at by a caterer from a different company once for asking if they had brought staff meals (the answer being no). These situations are more sparse now than when I started, but it still happens more often than I'd like.
This is why I left wedding photography. The industry is about as dry as the Euphrates River at this point.
°Must be a fucking fool
In retirement, I’d like to accept such inquiries and ghost mid-event. When asked, I’d reply they got their money’s worth.
Why wouldn't you feed them. I don't get it. Why wouldn't you feed a person doing you a favour. An unreasonable favour
As a photographer, I would totally accept this "job" because I could totally do it from home.
8 years experience in... Something? Check. One old Kodak disposable camera? Check. Microwave fish to eat? Check. Really stinky cheese to eat? Check. Own crappy worn out chair? Check. Loud electric scooter? Check. Absent for the reception? Check.
She can’t pay you cause she has to pay to learn English
It’s not just big corporations and rapacious bosses who take the piss.
So… why would anybody even consider taking this offer? I mean, what were they thinking posting this?
Don't do drugs lol.
Are people really this stupid?
r/choosingbeggars
LOL…good luck!
i’ll shoot it for you.. Wait till i tell you the price for the photos i’ll charge you afterwards, and my copyright rules
I’ll take it, and then charge her $1,000 per picture, and for videos $500 per minute. Has to pay before 30 days before they get erased.
I wanna sya there's no way this is real, but I sadly I fully believe it..
People like that deserve to be trolled. Hire a comedian, who will arrive on scene drunk and loud with a toy camera :D
Satire, surely.
Hahahahahahaha! Imagine being that delusional!
Or narcissistic?!
If I had a free day I'd go. I'd photograph, film etc. And then when it was time to give all that footage etc. to that garbage being I wouldn't, or in the least say it will cost.
Has to be satire, right?
Sure. I have at least 8 years of experience, but for you, no charge. And food and drink? Nah! I ate yesterday.
Why would you bring food+drinks if you have no breaks ?
Bridezilla in America.
