I think maybe the difference here is between all-breed shows and specialty events.............the difference there is also in which breed.............at Shepherd specialties, very often every class winner gets a photo...and the reserve dog and bitch often do, too. at all breed shows, photos are almost never taken of a class winner, or of reserve.............so the photographer knows full well he or she is going to be lucky to be asked to take even one picture per breed (and at most shows in my area, at least, one photographer can't even handle a show on his or her own)...........I think we began by talking about a photograph at an all-breed show........ Anyway, it doesn't matter much. Being asked to pay to have your picture taken, regardless of how it turns out, is ridiculous...and I don't really care who the photographer is.
