When you contact me via my website, a few drop-down menus offer some options for the services you might be interested in. It helps me sort jobs and gives me some more initial info on what the client wants.
I received an email from a client telling me they’re after a single half-hour profile shoot, which is offered for people that need a couple of headshots for business or LinkedIn profiles, etc.
This being such a small service, there’s no need for a face-to-face, so we correspond by email. She asks me to meet her at a particular time and place. She wants the natural light offered by the location, and doesn’t need external lighting. I bring my basic kit: tripod, monopod, DSLR, a couple of lenses, and a flash for fill light if needed.
I get to the location. The client is wearing a wedding dress and is surrounded by six other women in matching bridesmaid dresses. She stands up and thanks me for coming. I’m assuming the worst, but I ask anyway:
Me: What’s with the wedding getup? Is it a fitting or a dress rehearsal and I just happen to be getting some profile shots at the same location?
Nope. It’s actually her wedding day, and she’s hired me as the photographer. She starts telling me all about how she wants shots of the people mingling outside, her and her bridesmaids, the groom and groomsmen, and how I ‘should be able to work out the usual stuff on my own.’
I asked her why she told me it was a profile shoot when it was actually a wedding, saying I was dangerously unprepared for a wedding shoot. She tells me - proud of being so cunning - that she figured I’d charge her wedding rates, so she’d get a better deal if she told me it was just a cheaper shoot. I told her that’s not how it works, and gave her my usual price for a wedding. She just shook her head and said:
Client: I’ll give you the price we agreed to and I signed a contract for. Besides, you said you were unprepared - a real pro would be ready for anything!

I added the English subs! (Not made by me, I copied them from the original clip.) They’re a tiny bit off with the timing at the beginning (starts a bit early in some parts), but I got really good at the timing around before the middle part, so most of the video is okay (I think).
I also changed the names and pronouns (From what I can remember, Sei refers to himself with masculine pronouns and Aoba addresses him as such in their mini-ep in Chiral Night. I am not trying to rain on anyone’s trans!/agender!/etc.!Sei headcanons.)
Still waiting on that Russ-K DMMD parody. (Idk if I can make one myself. I’ve got college….)
so you want to get into dmmd but you aren’t really sure who all of the characters are? don’t worry, this is a nifty little character list that should help you get to know some of the main cast
I bleed it out… I’ve opened up these scars… I’ll make you face this…!
I’ve pulled myself so far… I’ll make you face this now…!!

This started out as just some facial expression practice and it quickly turned into an all out photoset. I’m beyond happy with it though, I have a thing for blood so that’s always fun to color. Enjoy, you guys !
