shawn_mertz Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 <p>In this case, yes it is. This guy although no longer does weddings has a business aimed at serving wedding photographers. Part of it is promoting a group of other photographers educational seminars. So what about the teachers he promotes? They mostly seem to be younger updated versions of himself, as in very trendy.<br> So let us move on to talking about qualified teachers. Even start our own tour.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_barron Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 <p>I've shot a few weddings in my day. Since I am a photojournalist by trade, I shoot them like a photojournalist. The last one I shot was my sister's. My wife Abby, my best friend Michael, and I teamed up, all shot it in a journalistic style, and came up with a set of images my sister and her husband loved.<br> As a photojournalist, I tend to avoid the "trendy" photos like the diagonal, head-cut-off, sun glare in the frame, super-shallow depth of field, yada yada. I try to shoot everything straight-up, and most of all I try to tell the story. My wife's shooting perfectly compliments my shooting.<br> My sister's wedding is richardbarron.net/traveller/2011/12/03/a-big-easy-wedding-december-2011/.<br> Abby's daughter's wedding is richardbarron.net/traveller/2009/03/31/dinertown-nuptials-march-2009/.<br> Everyone was perfectly happy with our product. One thing I think wedding photographers often forget is that the client doesn't care about file size, frame rate, noise levels, highlight protection, or any other technical detail. They are hiring you to capture memories.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony_negron Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 <p>The fact that they paid him $6k to shoot wedding photos appalls me - the ego that takes (and the balls...)<br> And it isn't really selling out the industry... who in the hell wants to pay $6k for a wedding photographer? Not 95% of people getting married. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellery_chua___singapore Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 <p>I supposed this hadda come. But I did find some of Gary Fong's tirad hard take given that if I remember right he sort did the I made a pile from shooting weddings pitch to push his lectures. Hype vs talent that has been the main problem with our industry. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
