work related problem, please help

[halfsister]

I had applied for an online job last September. Now this client of mine demanded too many things like a Hi def cam, dslr, studio lightings etc. before I can start working for him.

So I bought a cheaper hi def cam (I already own 2 DSLRs) and added some studio lighting. Unfortunately, he was not satisfied with its outcome. I back out of the job since I can’t afford to buy another videocam. Then he offered to finance the cam so what else should I do but to grab his offer again.

The plan was I will buy the cam online and he will send me the money to pay for it.
He then asked for sample images taken from my DSLR. But for reasons I don’t understand, he’s not happy with the sample images I send him and told me he will not send the money until I can show him “good” images.

I have been in the business of photography for 8 years and this is the first time I met someone who can’t seem to like the pictures I’ve taken. I find it strange since I send him sample photos before I applied for the job and he said he likes it.

He sends me a few photos from a website that he want me to imitate the camera setting. But when I checked, all the photos in that website were enhanced / manipulated in photoshop.

BUT HE WON’T ALLOW ME TO USE PHOTOSHOP.

To make this long (and very sad) story short, the 700USD videocam arrived and he sends me not a cent. I am now very tight with my budget because of this.

I asked the iching for help ‘coz I’m thinking of selling the videocam while It is still good as new. I asked… “When will I start working for (his name) and I got hex 27 as primary, 4th line changing and hex 21 as relating hexagram.

What does it says?

should I wait for work or just sell the cam?

To make this work, you are going to need to pursue him, so the "when" is entirely down to you, you got to poke him with a stick if you want to earn money out of this difficult person.

Hi i know what is is like to deal with difficult clients believe me
The line suggests getting some help or helpers, maybe consult people in your industry and get some suggestions on what you can do to satisfy him
Pehaps you could ask is this project worth my time or something along those lines

I would try to find out exactly what he is looking for explain that those shots were done using photoshop try to work with him,

you could also ask the oracle what is the best way to approach this job

Hope i helped

Steve
