<p>I've seen a few statements in various threads that wedding clients are too unsophisticated (or something) to be able to see the difference between good professional photography and work by amateurs or many of the people working on the fringes of professional photography. This study commissioned by the National Press Photographers Association would seem to indicate that people can, in fact, see the difference. <a href="https://nppa.org/news/eyetracking-photojournalism-new-research-explores-what-makes-photograph-memorable-shareable-and">https://nppa.org/news/eyetracking-photojournalism-new-research-explores-what-makes-photograph-memorable-shareable-and</a><br>
As a working photographer, if your prospective clients can't see the difference, then maybe they are just not the right clients for you or maybe you need to up your game.<br>
Upping your game, by the way, does not necessarily mean improving your photography. You may simply need to work on your business skills. An average photographer with good marketing and business skills will almost always make more money than a photographic artist with mediocre skills.</p>
