Hello to all, I'm looking for advice because I just became a Chief Photographer at a new station that just started up a few months ago. And I'm having trouble with the guys that I didnt hire listen to me.
1 Of them is a rookie and thinks he knows more than me which is fine but I dont see it in his shooting or editing but I still take the time to critique his work with him but he dosent seem to listen and makes the same mistakes again the next day.
The other guy is older than I am now that I think about it all the guys are older than me. This guy I give him advice on how to make his shooting and editing better but dosent seem to apply anything we talked about to his work. Which is really frustrating because I want my guys to become photojournalist.
What is really frustrating is that all the other guys from other stations say they know when i shot and edited a story or when the other guys worked on it. Even when the guys from other stations dog my photogs I stick up for them, am I doing right for sticking up for them? I want all of our work to look the same but with their S T Y L E. Its not only in shooting and editing these guys dont put away equipment like I ask them to. They leave cables and lights all over the place leaving cameras at the edge of the tables etc.
Ive read replies to some of the other threads and I like what I have read, so what advice can some of you offer me?
Sorry for the grammer and misspells Im in a hurry.
