  You have to be sh!tting me. They actually offered to pay you more than what you quoted??? 

  You'd better keep those guys on speeddial for future work.

  1.       Staff should be facing the camera straight on
  2.       Photography backgrounds should be white only
  3.       Photographs should display the whole head, face and display a little of the neck and shoulders
  4.       Photographs should not be chopped or cropped in odd places
  5.       Photographs should be taken in colour only
  6.       Photographs should be provided in high resolution, no bigger than 500 x 500 pixels and no smaller than 300 x 300 pixels square
  7.       The whole photograph should be in focus
  8.       Photos should look like they were taken in natural daylight – there should be no special lighting effects

  Passport photos???    Sheesh, you can probably do those in your sleep.

  That 14-hour shoot sounds like it's going to make for a long workday...

  yeah, the 14hr one is gonna be long.

  somemore i gotta go back and get a slideshow done for them, then pass to them by 7am the next day... which results in extra cost too

  They sure have got money to burn.

  With 15 people, I would think that it'd be a lot easier and cheaper to just give six bucks to everyone and get them to visit the friendly neighbourhood photo studio.

  yeah yeah~ i did it for this company before a couple of years back.

  after that they went to find event companies to settle their stuff for them

  but now they are back to find me

   

  the challenge that time was that they wanted a magazine at the end of the conference.

  so i activated my 2 friends and at 7pm everything starts, by 2 or 3am the stuff is sent for print. then the magazine arrived before lunch.

  that year itself was super profit from this deal enough for one of the guys to buy an imac

  yeah man.

  but i think people pay for convenience

  i appear with a backdrop, they take photos in their meeting room with studio lighting

  all the images are for them to use on their website.
