>>3684981>Man you must suck at lightroom/photoshop if it takes you that much time to select and edit 9 pictures.>>3684991>Fucking thank you. The only reasonable people in this thread so far who understand what a complete hack he is.A polished photoshoot would mean every single of those 9 pictures would be a composite of 20-30 shots, each carefully masked, to get the secular highlights right, the shadows right, the exposure right etc etc., for every part of the car separately, and compose into a single polished image.
A single image could be 100+ layers.
So I think for a good, high end shoot, 9 final pictures can easily be a full 10-hour day of editing, and that's barely making it if the composites are not many in number and the photog is proficient and fast with masking and editing.
Shooting could be another half day, maybe a day when you include the video, so say 8 hours. Add 2 hours for editing the video if he doesn't do too much work on it.
So in total 20 hours. At $100/hour, that's $2,000. It's not that much for a polished high end shoot. A photog with a bit of cache and recognition could ask double that just for his brand name.
Not saying that the guy offers that, couldn't give less of a fuck about random e-celebs.
I wish Photoshop® was still around to demonstrate how much work goes into a "simple" high end shoot like an ad campaign photo.
