Portrait Photog Wanted shoot on spec - 11-12-2008, 12:22 PM

Senior citizen center would like a photographer to shoot their Christmas party. This sounds like an easy gig but the only catch is you're shooting on spec. Send me a pm if you're interested and I'll give you the contact info.

Shoot pictures and sell only what the customers order, being your only income from the shoot......and quite often, print up some shots at your cost and have a "sell table" on a return visit.

Spec = Speculation (hoping they buy)

spec= shorthand for speculation. the speculation is that you will sell some prints. Otherwise, no $$.
