What’s mine?\nOne client trusts you with a production worth tens of thousands of dollars. Another pays you a few hundred bucks and tells you that you didn’t do a very good job.\nSame photographer. Same experience. Same eye.\nIn this episode, I’m trying to figure out what those numbers actually mean. We talk about day rates, lowball inquiries, why better photography isn’t always more valuable to the person buying it, and what happens when we take economic information from the market and turn it into a judgment about our work—or ourselves.\nBecause maybe the estimate tells us something useful about the business.\nBut I’m not sure our worth has any business being on it.\n\nFeatured clip: Moneyball — used in Act Three as we get into how markets assign value, what they measure, and what they sometimes miss.\nHandshake music: Instrumental version of “Take On Me” — a small nod to entering the 80s.\nEpisode artwork: Photograph by César Rincón.\nResources\nThe Book Lessons From a Terrible Photographer\nSupport the Show terriblephotographer.com/support\nStay Connected Subscribe to Pub Notes (the newsletter)\nThe Terrible Creative on Instagram\nPatrick Fore on Instagram\nEmail Me (Patrick Fore)\n\nPodcast written, produced, and hosted by Patrick Fore.\nMusic licensed through Blue Dot Sessions. \nRecorded from my garage in San Diego, California.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qsOnUwMbUF-PHJZ7RwOm0Uh1mXJoqDwCz1nHN0z7r7Q/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wMTIy/MjM3Yzk2YTUzZDE5/ZjNiODE0Y2MxOTgz/MGRiNC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
