All Photographs Is Useless! After A Corporate Photography Shoot? Yes Possible!

As long long time ago, whenever a corporate photo editor commission a corporate photographer, they will provide a scripts / planning + layouts + budget + all detail requirements ba ba ba. Maybe due to the popular of digital cameras, everyone feel that photograph is so easy to make. The trend now changed rapidly... there is no corporate photo editor but corporate communication staffs(or even worse a marketing manager / assistant)... they just know to ask for a quote of 4hrs. photography that deliver say 50 - 100 photos(even more). They cannot provide any details of their shoot and seems never hear about photograph licensing, they disappear if photographers ask for more details(not reply email is suck). Those people(staffs) like to work with photographer that, don't ask questions(maybe the photographer don't know what to ask as well)... and since this personal integrity, argument most happen during the shoot on location or after the shoot. On the pass 3 months I hear say 3 corporate staffs tell me that, they just have some useless photographs after a shoot. Although they have hundreds of photographs, but none of one is prefect (e.g.: cropped logo, bad lighting, boss without the tie ...etc.). I hope this ill trend will be fix soon, so we as professional corporate photographers can get back to our field. Sigh!
