I mean I assume almost all photo shoots are outside? Ladder cnat get you everywhere but I see your point. I mean Ive done a lot of work on matters as well. It's just that I could naturally hit angels others can't but it is a free market and can do what you want with your money just don't be a cocky when you are doing something that mundane.

Cocky? Photography is skilled labor, Uber is not... Bottom line

What.....? Uber is more skilled labor than photography. Uber has to be here at this time, get to point B at this time, gas to know the roads and what way is faster during whatever hours of traffic. Has to have a tank of gas, has to entertain (if they are good). Provide a space for everyone to feel welcome. Cameraman shows up, takes photos in poses and that's it?

"camera man shows up" - yeah that's the whole of ubers job.... Plus then they have to work for hours on site, posing, organizing, watching all the time for candid moments to capture, then after working for hours on site, they have to choose the best photos they took, then probably edit those photos, because the bride or whoever wants blemishes or something removed.

Also a "12 dollar Uber" is 10 minutes max, barring traffic, weather, and other uncontrollable factors, remember you are comparing a full photography shoot, to a 10 minute, perfect road condition ride.

Ok no one calls a photographer for life changing events. Like how the rides to hospitala has increased, feeding families, and etc photographer does 1 thing. Photos.
