11 Crazy Stories About Customers Who Don’t Understand How Photos Work
Dear readers,
Most of us know how photography works. You aim a lens at something, press a button, and hey presto, you have a picture of what you saw. That’s it, that’s the whole process. Of course, throw customers into the mix and things just get… complicated.
We’ve already covered what challenges photographers can face in our National Photography Day roundup, but when the customer becomes the photographer then things get even weirder. We’ve rounded up eleven stories from our archives about customers who don’t understand the basics of photography, and in some instances, the basic laws of nature!

The Customer Is Not Always Copyright – He could’ve claimed to have used a timer, but that would be dishonest!
