For a TV series which amassed 1.5M viewers for its first episodes and had a whopping 30M households around the world tuning in, it doesn’t seem that paying a salary to the people who made it happen should be a big deal. After all, Netflix’s Love Is Blind is not just a show, but a full-on powerhouse putting the dating show concept into a whole new spotlight.
But the screenshots below tell a very different story when it comes to the show’s producers. When photographer Megan Saul received an email from a producer of the Kinetic Content production studio, she couldn’t hold in her excitement. The producer asked if Megan would be interested in acting as a wedding photographer for the show, which would mean taking photos for 5 weddings in total.
But after Megan inquired about the studio’s budget for the project, the answer shocked her, to say the least. Turns out, the Love Is Blind producers think it’s totally enough to pay in “exposure” instead of cash.
