Every creative know the feeling 😂 Clients be talking about “this will be good exposure” meanwhile you editing at 2AM, paying for equipment, software, travel, and trying to keep your business growing. And don’t get me wrong, I love the moments when exposure is actually a great tradeoff and can open real doors. But sometimes the benefit just don’t outweigh the time, energy, and expenses put into the work 😭 “Spend dat shit” — because exposure don’t pay invoices, buy camera gear, or cover rent 😂 #wickedtyris #chicago #chicagoevents #eventphotographers #creatives
