Reluctant Wedding Photographer
Mr Strat,
First of all, its gotten to the point that you posted what they wanted and they still cant except it. This thread has gone on way too long over nonsense. Everyone who does Weddings does it for the Art and the money comes in as a second thought. Yes, the money was very good and nobody cant deny that the money is the driving force. Yes, my Boss had a very nice house. Nice car and so on. A lot of the other Studios that did Weddings and Catering Houses in the area also did/does (for those that are still around) extremely well. The Studio that I used to work in charged a very high amount for our quality and we shot Weddings almost every weekend and sometimes I got to work twice in a weekend. We also had other photographers who worked for the studio and they also shot Weddings in the same weekend. So we used to do some times at least 3 or even 4 jobs or more in one weekend. The Studio was around for a very long time before the owners retired. I haven't seen any of that family in a very long time. I have heard about them and know that there still around but I personally haven't seen them. The money was there to be made, if you had a good rep and acted professional then they would come. We did repetitive business, several times for relatives and friends who liked our results and they all liked the way our Photographers behaved. Sometimes I didn't like somebody for there attitude (the photographer), but there quality was so good I couldn't complain. The results made up for it. Some of those guys acted like used car salesmen that had a product that no one else had and theres was the best. They were good, but no better then the rest of that bunch that worked there. I got to admit, that they all had great quality. I should know, during the week I was the one who was the mass printer on the proofing machine and I printed there work. As an old photographer who used to do weddings when I was in my early twenties, (a long time ago, LOL) Mr Strat has posted some things that only a true wedding photographer would know. I am not swearing by it, but this is a newsgroup and the trolls have flocked on this topic. Give it a rest. Strat might have a bad tude, but because of his bad tude doesn't mean he wasn't a photographer. I have seen plenty of bad attitudes around in that business. Like photography owed them something and they never became famous like Scouvoulo. Or any of the other famous photographers that weren't any where near as good as there rep was.

If you like credibility, act accordingly. I changed it to Mr. Strat because that's a moniker I use frequently in other places on the Net. Your anal references indicate that your true moniker should be "Mr. Scat". |

Obviously you are or were a Wedding Photographer so you know the routine. My question is in digital, if you were doing a job now. My wifes friend is having a sweet 16 for her daughter. I just got a Nikon D80, would you shoot it in RAW? I obviously am not taking everything, just what I see at the Reception/Restaurant. I dont think it will be anything fancy and I wont be getting paid and have not even been approached to shoot. They cant afford anybody, and most of all nobody was shooting the candle lighting ceremony (In the last daughters party). I didn't understand that originally anyway. LOL Just as an occasional shot, and also at no part of this party will I even be shooting heavy except maybe the candle lighting. I closed the studio doors in 1995 and decided to do something where I could make money. Ah. So you are a FAILED wedding photographer. I suppose that ought to tell us something about how good your advice really is. Like those phony shot that he posted as his. A failure as well... |
