Say no
We said so. We did it.
Probably the consequences will be unpleasant but we believe we did the right thing.
It doesn’t make sense to wait weeks for a meeting where you are reassured that “offering a job without having organized everything in details and without having an idea that is supported not only by the subject but also by good partners is not in the style of this magazine at all…”
Well, unfortunately it did not happen.
In this particular moment it’s not good to give up a job with an important magazine, even from the economic point of view, of course.
In our business there are many variables even when everything seems well organized; imagine if 70% of the work is left to chance.
If something goes wrong at the end is always photographer’s fault, even if nobody says so … In short words, we’re not sure we lost a client but it’s highly probable. What a pity.
