    That sucks. I would definitely say something to him. I'm sorry...was there something that you guys signed or anything that said how he was going to present the photos to you as the final product?

    $350 for photos printed on an inkjet ? NO WAY, Jose !! I would call that photographer and give him a piece of your mind. I know I would !!

    That's terrible! My Father is a photographer, and we always send our prints out to be done in a lab, I couldn't imagine printing them! I'd call him, and wouldn't recommed him to anyone.

    She got ripped off. I would turn this guy into Better Business Bureau.
    There are very good photographers out there it's just sad that she had to pick one that wasnt honest.

    Definitely my suggestion -- contact the BBB!! That is very unprofessional and I can't believe he thought he could get away by pulling a stunt like that!!

    I would also let it be a lesson taught to your daughter as well.

    I know when I got my senior pictures my parents ended up paying over $300 for pictures... that wasn't even including the sitting fee for the session itself.. needless to say from now on if I want "outdoor" pictures I'll have a friend take them instead!!

    Big time ripoff. Those photos should have been printed on archival (100 year) grade paper with like quality inks/chemistry.

    Since your daughter is a minor, the photographer has to get permission from YOU, as her parent, to use the photo in his portfolio.

    $350 for pictures printed on a printer??? I'd DEFINITELY have a talk with this guy.

    My Dad was also a photographer. He didn't send out his stuff to a lab, he printed it up himself, way back when they had developer and hypo. We had a darkroom in our basement and my Dad taught me how to develop negatives and prints.

    Since she was a minor when making the arrangements for the pictures,
    maybe you should make the argument to the photographer that" expensive"
    should be higher quality pictures, not prints run off on a printer. I think I'd
    want to help the girl out, she can still learn a lesson about hiring a person
    or company to do a good job for a fair price.
