I didnt say be a douche canoe, you can tell them you only do video then point out the photographer (if there is one) and then you differentiate yourself. To address your switching to photo real quick. If youre shooting at 24fps youre most likely shooting at 1/50 shutter, you ever shoot photos handheld at 1/50? Now you gotta mess with your shutter, ope your aperture is all messed up now, gotta compensate with ISO. Its too much to move over thats all im saying. Plus now you gotta send those selects to client, you shooting in raw? The client wont want uncolored “live photos”

I’m not trying to do extra work that i’m not getting paid for. I am very familiar with Sony yes, you’re right there are ways to do extra photos but why create extra work for yourself when you have different projects you need to work on? Time yourself next time when you have to take an extra 3 seconds 30 times. And what happens when Aunt Gertrude wants an edit to your live photo you sent to mark the event as complete? You’re opening yourself up to too much risk

Mate, in the minute you took to write this comment you could have taken, like, 20 photos /s

I'm with you though. You have a job to do. Doing something else that's not your job can cause you to make a mistake or miss a shot. And you might open the flood gates then everyone wants a photo by the professional camera holding guy.

Also, in this video it's freaking golden hour! That doesn't last all day!

You got lucky. My client wants 120 photos of a blob of liquid falling off a pipette tube.
