Clients Are Getting WAY Too Comfortable With Photographers

The MrBeastification of YouTube

A groom offered his wedding photographer $500 to hide his ex-wife from his wedding photos. And somehow, that's not even the only ridiculous client story we get into this week.

This week on Cort & Luke, we're talking about some of the wildest situations photographers and filmmakers have found themselves in. From a bride demanding a $3,200 refund because she got divorced, to a concert photographer getting charged $150 after working for free, these stories are a reminder that working with clients can get absolutely insane.

We also get into AI school portraits, a football photographer getting kicked out, and a commercial video shoot where nobody thought to record audio.

If you've ever worked in photography, videography, or the creative industry, you'll probably have a story of your own.
