- -The point of advertising your services is to get a return on your investment. Exposure doesn't guarantee your monetary investment being given back.
- -Once you accept exposure, you are setting precedent for others to pay you exposure money for the hard work you do.
Animators deserve credit. Writers deserve credit. Photographers deserve credit. Designers deserve credit.
This is where the Paid in Exposure gets ingrained into the industry itself. https://t.co/LPgrSDW69V— The Kitty, Gwendolyne w/Goose (@LongcrierCat) November 12, 2019If a photographer has taken years to hone their skills, offering them a gig and using exposure as a means to replace money is a joke and an insult. Not just to them but to the profession, they are in and the countless hours are taken to perfect the skill. In some cases, exposure could work additionally to payment.It is even more appalling not just because of the whole P.I.E, but because clients have the audacity to get angry with the professional over their prices.Hello, I am just putting this out to the universe that I don't work for free. I am not interested in mileage nor exposure.
And for budding creatives, I will personally fucking slap you if you start taking gigs for free because it is people like you who don't help the cause.— Mr. H (@asonofapeach) November 7, 2019
