Hey people,
As i said on the previous post i will blog here often now this ideia was to cover my necessity to talk about photography, and instead of hosting my blog in any big renowned server out there i decided to register toughts here mainly because SG is already a photographic project itself and i always thinked the people whoo will read this here will understand more what im saying then others.
I dont expect to please everyone but a blog is a space of intimacy to a point. and this is my blog so my ideas.
Explains made, to the subject.
Im tired from the brazilian photographic market. Lol, too many egos, too many sob's....too many camera owners without any knowlegde of real photgraphic procedure. About 9 month's a go i was working as Studio Assistant for a School of photography from one of biggest photgraphic names in Brazil, it was a 1 and a half week job covering for a friend absense and for the school owner who in time was also a friend...NO PAYMENT INVOLVED...by the end of the first week i got very very very sick, and could'nt go to work for 2 days. when i got back i was call of unloyal, lazy and useless.
Believe or not, this was from people who i considered my foundation, who i have admired for years. This is just one story, Photography Assistant in Brazil is almost payed slavery i heard that a Very famous photographer( Klaus Mitteldorf, his work is impressive btw), throwed a chair in one of his assistant's.LoL
Besides that the market in Brazil is All about little "Familys", so everyone recognizes you from your predecessor like mobsters....lol...Every single major photgraphic event you will be conected to the people you was seeing with...and if you dont have a reference like that you have very few chances you have for work for the biggest studios.
Worst then that if you piss someone, and do have a backup like that, man you are screwed. No work at all besides solo work, and here is the trick part, solo work depends of your references too...lol...yeah i know.
I have to say just one thing after of all this FUCK YOU!....Yeah, you out there, who think this is the right way or worse you who doesnt realize all that things i sayed.
Sorry for the little bible post. but this is months of thinking flowing, months of feeling terribly awful for i thing that i didnt do.
next post i will try to keep small
see ya
