What Happens When An Influencer Asks A Photography Duo To Work For Free

An interesting incident made the rounds on meme websites most recently when the agent of a social media influencer got in touch with London based wedding photography team Betrothed & Co.

The initial e-mail, rife with arrogance, read like this:

The PR person, Melissa, was quite baffled about the reaction she received in response to an offer she deemed impossible to pass up.
