April 24th, 2008 in Food for thought… Photographers do a huge amount more now than they used to in the old days – and it’s questionable whether they get paid for it.
They used to “send their work to the lab”, now they ARE the lab.
Colour management and colour correction used to be the lab’s problem, now they’re the photographer’s.
My thought for the day – you can’t afford cheap printing for two reasons:
- YOU do all the work – that’s why it’s cheap.
- BECAUSE you do all the work you can’t do other, more profitable stuff (or just go home earlier in the evenings).
Truth to tell, many photographers would also get a better result if they didn’t touch their files, just left the work to the lab. Think of it, higher quality in less time for the small price of a higher lab bill.
Don’t tell your competitors, but that’s the point of Queensberry’s Full Colour Service. To tweak the old Pantene ad, it won’t work for everyone but it does work.
