My clients are often surprised at how long it takes to photograph simple environmental portraits – for example, company staff at their workplace. “All this for one shot”?, they ask.
But spare a thought for Cincinnati food photographer Teri Campbell and his clients. According to an article in the Cincinnati Business Courier, they may be up for a two-week wait while he photographs an ice cream.
My favourite quote from the article?
“…it is the space between Campbell’s ears that is most valuable to his clients.”
The moral?
Next time you’re feeling a little frustrated that it’s taking me, like, twenty minutes to set up a shot of your CEO, think of ice-cream. And remember how much you’re paying to rent the space between my ears 🙂
