SO ON POINT!
"CLIENT: how much is a portrait?
ARTIST: Starting at $250
CLIENT : what ?? it's way too expensive !!!
ARTIST: what do you think would be the right price?
CUSTOMERS: no more than $50
ARTIST: I'm sorry but I wouldn't go back to the grocery store for so little!
CLIENTS: You artists over price!
ARTIST: I'm sorry you see it this way, why don't you try it yourself?
CLIENT: But I never did it!
ARTIST: for $100 I can teach you how to do it and you will have the knowledge to do it again.
CLIENT: Done deal!
ARTIST: to start you will need several books, from which you can learn various techniques, and consumer materials.
CLIENT: But I don't have all this...
ARTIST: for β¬100 you can buy the basic books you need and what you need to start.
CUSTOMER: It's a lot of money but it's ok.. I will be making the purchase.
ARTIST: ok then see you on Friday 8pm!
CLIENT: 8pm ?? it's too late for me ! and then Friday night Iβm going to dinner with my family, but itβs ok Iβll sacrifice the time.
ARTIST: yes, me too, then it brings books, camera, lenses, filters, batteries, flash, lanterns, White box, black screen and other composition objects...
CLIENT: But I don't have all these things!
ARTIST: for $500 you can buy some basic things.
CUSTOMER: but this way I have nothing left!!!
CUSTOMER: Ummm .... you know, I thought maybe it's better if you do it... I'd rather pay you than go through all that effort! "
THIS IS THE REALITY
When you choose an artist you don't only pay for the work, but also:
knowledge
tools
experience
hand of work
time
professionality
etc etc etc etc etc.. support the artists no matter who they are
COPY AND PASTE...... LET'S SPEAK OUT FOR ART! β€οΈβπ»
There is so much behind the realization... TIME is precious for everyone and nothing pays it back, especially money!
