I have never had any of my clients ask me out right if I'm a Christian, but I've been to many weddings with overly long prayers in them and god this and god that during the ceremony. At least during prayer time no one wonders why I don't participate. I asked my super religious nephew what he thought would be appropriate to do when I take photos while everyone was praying and he said "Why would anyone want a photo of them taken while they prayed?", so I still take the photos
I recently did a family photo shoot for one of the church ladies. She kept saying what a blessing it was that I did this for them. I was under the impression that I did it for them because she asked and wrote me a check. I have to bite my tongue and smile. Another thing that sucks is I have to be cautious on my facebook and myspace accounts because I have clients as friends. I've lost client friends because I'll post some small political left remark, usually on the stupidity of the health care debate. The clients I've lost have been on the right. I've also had one dumb ass (another photographer) that told me how silly I am for posting the things I do. Of course it took him two paragraphs to comment on my one sentence post. I felt like telling him "If you don't like what I have to say don't fucking read it. I have to read all those prays god, thank you jesus, and god bless yous that people think they need to write all the fucking time." There have been many great videos I've seen here that I would love to share on facebook with my creepy religious family members just to get a rise out of them (because I'm a brat), but I can't. If I did I'm sure the word would get out about that atheist photographer, she's an evil one.
I wonder if there's a market for an atheist photographer? Could I market that? Could this be my niche?
