Don't offer me 0 photography budget! Again!!
I am not a quotation machine that help your paper works or price research. All I can help you in my role is to create and deliver you great photographs and that make your boss appreciate your taste.
The works showing in this website is great photographs I created for clients within their investment. Their photographs is made with many different kind / scale of productions (it mean very different price in your term).
I will prefer to get a realistic fair budget in the init stage... that will save boths time(I understand... maybe your time is already sell to your boss, but I am not part of your game). Shoots will never happen if we are dreaming in different level. We want to shoot more instead of playing such games again and again in 2017, please understand and contact us as soon as you really want to work with me.
Thanks You.

reBlog: Woman suing Chipotle for more than $2 billion over use of photo
DENVER -- A California woman is suing Chipotle for more than $2.2 billion for using a photo of her that she alleges the company never had permission to use.
The lawsuit, filed by Leah Caldwell of Sacramento, names Denver-based Chipotle, CEO Steve Ells and photographer Steve Adams as defendants.
Caldwell claims Adams took a photo of her sitting in a Chipotle restaurant in Denver sometime in the late summer or early fall of 2006 without her knowledge. The complaint states Adams asked Caldwell to sign a release form as she exited the restaurant, but Caldwell refused.
Don't try to gamble and use photograph without permission.
