Most fursuiters I've met are lovely. Encouraging, forgiving, patient, just nice people in general. They aren't angry when I mess up a shot or ask them to reposition a bit for the 42nd time. They don't speak up when I need more time to look through and edit photos.
But SOME. Yeah, SOME ruin that experience. Jeez... I came home from the meet and get asked where the photos are. I link them to my Telegram channel where I always prepare a little status message to give an estimate on when the pics are done.
"There wasn't an update since Monday!"
Yes, I have to work and didn't have any free time on Sunday, please be patient.
"Gimme the RAWs!"
Fuck no! You get the pics when everybody else does!
"You have to work a bit faster!"
I have to drink, eat, and sleep. But not much more, especially for something I do in my free time.
"BUT I WANT"
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT? FUCKING RECOVER FROM THE 18 HOURS I WAS AT THE LOCATION! I'm literally decorating the four rooms we rented and push crates of drinks and alcohol in! And do you know what I get for that? NOTHING! THAT'S THE EXACT AMOUNT I GET FOR EDITING THOSE PICS!
Those people make me consider giving up photography.
Be nice to your photographers. We might be parasites, but at least we are friendly.
