So I'll ask you the same question. Would you take a job in the real world without knowing who is paying you and know the terms of you employment? I've never worked for anyone without knowing the terms of my employment and who I am working for. It seems absurd to invest time into something with no accountability on the employer's part.

The too good to be true thing definitely applies, between Uni and kids I find it difficult to find work hours that I can fit in and I need to work if I'm going to continue at Uni. I'm not sure what you mean by the "real world" though, photography isn't a real job? I guess I think it is and so I'm expecting the same level of transparency as I would any other job, maybe I'm mistaken.

I don't think that's what he means. He just means in the 'real world" there is accountability, transparency, at some level, and these people sound like they are working out of the "shadow world"...

Sure! In the end follow your gut. It does sound a little fishy, I agree. I was just presenting the "other" POV for what it's worth.

I was hoping someone would present the other side for me to chew on, thanks for your input Bear, but I think skip is right when you were hiring I'd be willing to bet you had an address.

I just hate this when it seemed so good :(

Right, they'd come to our studio and pick up the work, and deliver it to us when it was finished. This would be processing, printing, and retouching.
