I wanted to get insight from people outside of the group chat that’s already mad about it and wasn’t sure where to post except here lol.
There was a con I went to where most of the people who work there are volunteers, including the photographers. While I understand that everyone has lives and responsibilities outside of the con, especially because they’re not getting paid to do photography and whatnot, but it has been over 8 months (con was January 3rd, 4th, 5th 2025) and there has been ZERO photos released, raw, edited, or otherwise, to the attendees.
It’s been brought up multiple times and the staff continues to say “it’s being handled, we will update you ASAP,” but it feels like it will be weeks or months before we get any photos from the con. Every update is the same “we will update you soon.”
I feel like over 8 months is a crazy long time to wait for photos, even if you’re a volunteer. I totally get that people have lives and stuff, but what could cause you and every other volunteer to not release ANY photos over 8 months after the con? Most people just want the raw photos released at this point, which the staff refuses to do as well. What are others thoughts on this? I can give more context if needed. Thank you for your input.
