And it's funny, cause if you respect your photographer, you WILL get some free photos! Eventually they will get bored, or wanna experiment, and ask you to sit. haha!

But poor muscians somehow find a way to scrap the cash together to pay you for your services. And keep coming back for more.
I have yet to get any biz from people promising exposure

If he really was such a big deal, he wouldn't have a problem at least giving you SOMETHING for the photos.
Musicians are typically poor, but DJs get paid well... even BAD DJs!

Or you could just use this thread as a space to vent and then give in because it's good exposure.

I'm sure most designers have had to make this descion at some point in their career. You need to get your shit SEEN, but you also don't want to get a rep as the guy who works for nothing.

Tell her you would really appreciate it if you could borrow his girlfriend for the night and it would get her some great exposure.

If they use your shots in print. lo-res or no, then you need to get paid for those print rights!
- It's gonna be a fight though, and i don't wanna get labeled as that difficult assholeepigraph

And as far as connections go, his mnger represents a few pro skateboarders, and has designed shit for zoo york

"He had a guest dj there who is a big deal (well connected)"
connected to what? Record shops who give him some sweet deals every now and then?

Don't sweat it. If he spins out for $500 a set, and he can't understand an artist getting paid, then he's a douchenozzle and probably spins trance or (shudder) mash-up anyway.

Tell him you've got a party coming up and maybe he could DJ it for free. You know, it'd be great exposure.

"Now people are tellin me I missed a chance for some good exposure. I dunno how does this strike you?" <- the usual shit, don't fell for it, ask him if his Dr. allows him to pull that shit off with him

This is just the same as every other client who wants something for nothing. Everyone from this guy to Aquent.

Use the pics to photochop his ass into some anal porn.
