'It got obnoxious really fast': 20+ Influencers who wanted professional photographers to work for 'exposure'


Some influencers are under the impression that they have way more 'influence' over their audience than they actually do. Maybe it feels like they have a lot of sway over the opinions of others — after all, some vloggers or lifestyle influencers post stories and photos constantly, and get tons of comments praising them. But commenting on a person's photo is one thing. Buying a product they recommend is a whole other story. Being a small-time influencer just doesn't always have the ROI that businesses are looking for. Until you have millions and millions of followers, stay humble. 

Photography has never been more prevalent, and professional photographers are finding out that their career is being a bit devalued by influencers. Imagine being paid in exposure, in this day and age? Exposure doesn't pay the rent or put food on the table. 

Even funnier are the influencers who want to be paid to do a photo shoot with a photographer. That's a hilarious joke — if you're worth being paid to do a photo shoot, you can afford to pay your photographer.
