For the summer I was hired to do a job of taking pictures of people I am working with. Sorta like modeling or whatever. I've been doing this since early June. When I first started working it was really fun but now the people I work with are getting just a bit annoying. Like this one girl the I had to take a couple shoots of. She was so incredibly beautiful but she would not stop complaining. Now I know I am supposed to deal with it but she's just so mean. She kept saying things like are you getting my face, that's a horrible camera, where's my frappuccino, this dress is so ugly, stop rolling (it's a snap shot not a movie lady), they sent a stupid kid to do my work?, and all that other stuff. But I don't say anything I just smile and say I'll get right on it or I'm sorry won't happen again. She wasn't the only one there are alot of other people too who like to get underneath your skin. I'm kinda knew to this whole thing but I take wonderful and creative pictures or else I would have never been hired. And the people I take pictures of are really handsome or beautiful but once you talk to them they never stop cursing. This one asian man (may have been japanese, absolutely love japan) who is really the hottest guy I've ever seen wasn't even speaking in english kept yelling at me in another language so I had no idea how to respond I just nodded my head. I think I nodded to the wrong question cause his face turned immediatley beat red. Is there anyway I can settle a truce with these people or ignore their remarks?

Mean people

Listen Japanfan, not everyone in the world is gonna be nice to you. Not saying they're gonna do it on purpose because of you, but sometimes it is just in their nature. I mean they way things sound for you now, you seem to be handling the situation correctly: just either ignore them or try and help them. If you snap at them, they might tell your boss and get you fired. And if they still complain and bitch at you, after you try to help them, then just say to yourself, "I've tried helping them, they don't want it/like it, then forget them." You can't make everyone happy, so just try and get-along with this. And talk to your boss and see if he/she can talk to your clients. Maybe this stuff'll help.

Well, as the poster before me said: not everyone is going to be nice to everyone around them. It's purely natural, some people are only nice to people who are close to them.
Another thing is, that the people you are taking picture may be in stress and becomes rather volatile and sees a perfect excuse to put out their rage on you. It's natural, as I seem to do that with all of my students at my dojo, but as long as it's not offensive as in cursing DIRECTLY at you like insulting your ancestry, race, or for just being you, you'll just have to live with it.
I also noticed you're a "J-fan" and thus, if you want to live like the japanese, you got to have more patient. Trust me, if you ever decide to work in japan or deal with the japanese, you will quickly find them that they are very strict, and if things go wrong they get aggressive real quick. Thus the solution, patience and understanding.
Well, Japanfan, if you ever have any question regarding Japan, feel free to PM me. :grin:
Best Luck

Tell your boss, or at the end of the summer when you don't need the job anymore tell them how stuck-up they are, I would

are you male or female? sounds like you are female... and are these nude photoshoots?
-
I am a female. Nude shots?! oh please I think I'm a little to young for that. No these were just simple photos to give an idea for them to use in like advertisement or whatever. Sometimes they use my pictures sometimes they don't. THey don't like the fact that a 14 year old is more creative than a 37 year old man. I'm very respectful though and compliment their work. I try to humble and say oh I would have never thought of that. But my camera is my only best friend.

Why not start a photography buisness? You can make some more doe, and freinds along the way
