An interaction I recently had: Local influencer: “ I want to shoot with you once per week! And I want 3 looks, and all the raw images.” Me: “ I don’t deliver raws, I can give you X selects, and I can give you a special retainer rate. Here’s the rate.” Them: “ sounds great. Let’s start this weekend!” Me: “ Here’s a booking contract + an invoice billed in weekly installments for each shoot.” Them: “great! We’re set for Friday! “ *ghosts In the end, I feel releived.
