Lol ^^ Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but over 60k/year in event photography doesn't agree with you.

All it does is show that people aren't good judges of photographic talent.

Edit: 60k a year and you're shooting weddings with an alpha 100 and an alpha 200? Along with what I presume is an 18-200mm lens? You should be fucking ashamed of yourself.

Right click, save as, ok. Right click, properties, and viewing the EDITABLE history of photographs that have been in my flash drive for months. Presumptions are useless. You, sir, fail at business. If an alpha 100 and alpha 200 did that, imagine what the camera your mom bought you can do?

What purpose does "photographic talent" serve when you can't profit off it? So you can post on your blogs and on jsp? What would you have me do? Take pictures of trees or scrubs or shurbs or bugs or cats, have 100% controlled lighting, time/angle, camera settings, etc - to take 10 images and have 1/10.000 change of making any money off them?

And you sir, fail at taking good photographs, not that I imagine it matters to you, so long as you can bleed some poor sucker dry by charging professional prices for unprofessional work.

What camera and lenses are you using now then?

I'd expect you to learn to take good photographs before charging people for something as important as a wedding.

If you ever get into wedding/event photography, you'll notice the quality/quantity exchange. If you decide to depend on just events for your income, you'll also grow to realize that quantity > quality, as long as quality remains decent. Obtrusiveness is also important. You don't want to run the wedding. I can be as a NY photographer and charge 4k for very good pictures but only give an album of 60 images of my liking. That, imo, is bad.

The camera / lense depends on the amount paid by the client.

Please, for this forum's sake - do not talk of wedding photography as if you knew the trade.

My father was a professional photographer, he shot weddings, I probably know more about the trade than you do.

Quantity > quality? You're fucking kidding right? You'd have to be an absolutely fucking idiot to think that. 50 very good photos are absolutely better than 200 below average ones. What's bad in providing a client with 60 good photos, rather than the shit you've shown here?


Camera and lens depends on what the client pays? Lol, you really are an absolute fucking amateur.

The numbers don't show that. 50 "very good photos" aren't too impressive to, and I quote you, "people [that] aren't good judges of photographic talent." They are looking for pictures of their wedding, not Brides Magazine controlled photography.I hope you understand that what you're saying just to try and win an argument sounds arrogant and very stupid. You don't know what you're talking about. You think that because your father was a professional photographer, and because he shot weddings, you "probably" know more than me? Run a photography business first, then come back to me like a dog with its head down and its tail between its legs after its done something wrong. We will talk then.

Cameras wear out. Mom & Dad should be mad at you for overusing your pricy cameras on leafs.

Not impressive? A 50 page photobook is more than enough for any wedding, how many times have you had any clients asking for a large amount of photos? Whether you accept it or not, customers aren't after facebook photos, they're after professional photographs, and you don't need hundreds of those.

I don't "think" it, I know it, all you've done in this thread is show that you're capable of getting money out of suckers, nothing more. Ask anyone that's interested in photography, they'll tell you the same thing.


Cameras wear out? How come my 50 year old Nikon F still shoots perfectly then? You might as well just admit that you're just some guy who picked up a DSLR and thought he could shoot weddings, we all know the truth of it here.

Lol. I'm done arguing with you. You're not a woman, you're probably not married, and a 50 page photo book is only enough for men. By the way, I'll post a pic you won't cry about when I get home. That'll shut you your ignorance up. Just keep shooting trees ok?
