  1. <p>Thanks for the feedback. Just to clarify, the B&G have only seen about 10 teaser images and won't see the rest until I provide them all of the photos on a usb drive. I go through all the photos taken at the wedding and I select which ones to provide to the B&G. Hope that helps clarify...</p>
  2. <p>Hi Folks,<br> I have some family members of a bride contacting me asking if I could provide them with 20 photos from the wedding before I provide all the images to the bride and groom. They want to make a book/album for the bride and groom and want to include (among other images) some of their wedding pics and they want to provide the book/album before I provide the wedding images to the bride and groom. Per my contract, I provide the bride and groom with edited copies of the best images from the wedding. So, my contract is with them, nobody else. I do provide wedding photo books/albums as an add option when negotiating the contract with the bride and groom, but such a service is available as part of my contract with only the bride and groom, not third parties and it is agreed upon before the wedding. <br> Has anyone run into this situation before? How did people handle it? If so, did you charge the family members for the photos? <br> Thanks for your feedback regarding how you have, or would handle this situation. If you want to provide feedback about how to prevent such a situation in the future, feel free to do so, but please please please also provide input about the question at hand, which is, how should I respond to the family who is currently requesting images.<br> thanks in advance!</p>
  3. <p>When I first got into photography I spent a year traveling around the world (20 countries, mainly third world) with my canon 40D, 17-40 f/4, 24-105 f/4, and 70-200 f/4 IS. At the time, the f/4 lenses were all that I could afford. Now that I have a couple of 6Ds and can afford some 2.8 L glass, I was curious what people thought about changing up my old travel kit with two Canon 6Ds and a 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8 IS. Lots of people say that the 2.8 glass is simply too heavy and that the f/4 glass is ideal. What do people think, is the extra couple of pounds too much to carry? I am a 35 year old man and in decent enough shape. My upcoming 2 week trip to Indonesia will likely be via public buses and an occasional plane. Likely will be doing quite a bit of hiking (no beach lounging) and possibly a homestay or two...<br> I know there is a line of people that prefer to carry a few prime lenses instead of zoom lenses, while I can appreciate that line of thought and discussion, I am hoping to keep the thread to a discussion of f/4 vs f/2.8 glass for travel purposes based on the tradeoff of IQ and weight (assume cost is not a consideration). Thanks in advance for your input on this specific question. </p> <p>Cheers!</p>
  4. <p>Thanks for the feedback folks. I always edit photos in LR and provide my clients with two different sized images (one for the web and one for printing). I haven't run into the problem with clients yet, but am not sure if it is because my clients simply never print them out or if they take them to a nicer print lab. I know that some have used Costco for printing. While I know that Costco isn't a pro lab, do folks have any thoughts on the quality of Costco prints?</p>
  5. <p>Hi Folks,<br> For those wedding photogs that provide their clients with digital files, do you give them images that are optimized for viewing on computer monitors or that are optimized for viewing as printed images, or both? I have friends who were not happy with the digital files that they received from their wedding photogs because the images were too dark when printed. I have not run into this problem (yet) and would like to avoid it. </p> <p>So any thoughts you might have on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Also, if folks don't mind, can we limit the discussion to the question at hand and not the merits of providing clients with digital files vs. prints. Much appreciated.</p> <p> </p>
  6. <p>For photographers that give their clients digital copies (as compared to having them purchase prints), I was curious what resolution folks give to their clients. What are the pixel dimensions (i.e. longest and shortest edge) and pixels per inch. I am running out of hard drive space and want to delete the RAWs after I have provided the clients with jpg copies. And I want to retain the jpg copies forever, just in case something goes wrong with the clients' copies. I currently give my clients images that are 3000x2000 pixels with a 500ppi. Others?? thanks much!</p>
  7. <p>I had a couple of questions about how folks work with second shooters/assistants at weddings.</p> <p>First, how do you let (if you even do) assistants/second shooters use photos they took at weddings? Do you let them post them on their site, use in their portfolio? Do you require that they state that they were second shooting if you do let them post? Do you let them put up photos that you post on your blog or only images you don't use? Etc. Also, do you make them sign an agreement that sets all of this out, or is it more of a handshake agreement?</p> <p>Second, what if a second shooter/assistant backs out or cannot attend a wedding. Do you require they have a replacement, do you have language stating that they owe you money, etc? Again, is this a signed agreement or more of a handshake agreement?</p> <p>Thanks for your input and any additional information that you think may be relevant to working with second shooters/assistants.</p> <p> </p>
