Aye, I know what you're trying to say. I just don't worry about it is all.

One day, you will read some negative posts on Facebook (eg. the club's FB page), and then you'll probably be shocked what people think about you.
Comments like "He's only photographing the girls he want's to hit on." Such comments you really want avoid.
You really should worry about it

The difference probably is, everyone knows that I work for the night, and have to take photos of the hostesses. The rest of the night I'm taking photos of people who ask for them. I upload them and get on with it. I don't cut out 'ugly' people and it's often the same or similar crowd in every week so everyone knows what the deal is.

I decided to give first curtain sync again after people's opinions on here. I've got to say I did find it a lot handier in certain situations... amongst the crowd, taking quick "paparazzi" style shots when people are moving. I still don't like it when lazers are going across people's faces, so I tended to mix it up a bit.
Anyway, here's some from last night;

i wish our waitress look as good as your club

im still debating to switch back to lens kit for my 40D, since my pics are uploaded via facebook, there is not much need for quality. my tamron is pretty heavy compare to lens kit. plus risking ppl spill drinks on it not good!

Broke out the XT last night for sh!ts and giggles:

A very valid point. I edit heavily. I don't judge on physical attractiveness much, unless the client is adamant about it. However, I do judge on sobriety. Does the subject really want a photo of themselves banged up at 8 in the morning put up on the internet? Probably not, even if it seems like a good idea at the time. "Girls Gone Wild" type of photos, I'll take if they ask, but I never publish. I have an archive of "NSFW" images.

If anything my rep is "He only takes photos of his friends". OK, you got me there. However, I do know a lot of people. 8)

But yes, you definitely want to be cognizant of what the public thinks of you as a shooter. I'm thought of as the above, which isn't a bad thing. A friend of mine is known as the "nice guy", and he gets a lot of outside work because of it. Another guy we both know is known as a "cocky a--hole" because he doesn't respect people's space and privacy. He thinks because there's a little sign out front of the club that says "By entering you consent to being filmed or photographed", it means he can do what he wants. Someone is going to punch him one of these days.

It might seem glamourous and so forth to be the next "hipster party photographer" (won't mention any names, but you guys should know who I mean) but that type of fame is short-lived. Call me a snob but I don't consider invasion of privacy hip. Yes, I'm fully aware the patrons are in a nightclub and a nightclub is a public place, but at the end of the day it is all about respecting the crowd you're tasked to document.

So I've shot a lot for this one guy, sub-contracting. I've got a great portfolio of stuff. I don't want to shoot for him anymore. So I realize I got to go out and contact clubs myself and stuff. Is there another method (scoping out craigslist doesn't work) then just sort of randomly contacting them?

Pod, the board appears to be censoring a word in your links.
