Public Forums > Photography > What's the Hardest Part of Your Job?

I know the answers will probably be different from photographer to photographer but I'm just curious as to what you believe is the hardest part of your job? Is it the cost of the equipment you have to purchase, working with difficult models or clients, etc? Inquiring minds would like to know!

I think it will always be dealing with clients as well as technical difficulties.

For example, something always breaks.  Something always stops working.  The weather turns bad. If things can go wrong it will go wrong and quite often, things are just beyond our control.  It happens quite a lot to me.

People can also be difficult - clients and models especially! its a tough job!
