I'm 5"3 and its somtimes a bit of a problemwith tall clients, say 6"2 plus...sooo i have a step stool i use for portrait sessions if need be. For weddings i just pick my locations carefully!

Up to 3 months ago i only used AP. Then i had a go at taking a few duplicate shots with manual... since then i have changed and now shot manual 90% of the time. Its still fairly new to me so it does make me a little slower (and yes I probably make more mistakes at the moment than when i shot...

Its just shocking how selfish and inconsiderate some people can be. The sad thing is the bride and groom with never forget that day...and all for the wrong reasons. Hope you manged to get some special pics though that will go some way to making it better for them Anna

I assisted a couple of times then replied to an advert for a student photographer to take the photographers at a photographers wedding. It was a very small affair and they only wanted me for a couple of hours so it was quite a gentle start. Still early days for me though, I've done a few more...

Thanks- one of the models suggested the Geat Orme also...will let you know how i get on Anna

Thanks - i was hoping to find some where in or around Conway really as I will only have a couple of hours. Any other suggestions? Got a lodge type thing over in Anglesey so I'm sure I will use those locations in the future, thanks! Anna

Sorry, I'm doing another "any good locations thread"...but i need help again:) I've got a couple of models booked for this Thursday for me to practise bridal portraits on. Both models are from near Conwy so I'm looking for some nice locations. around there I don't want a castle (sorry!) -...

probably depend what time you have to be there? If its not until early pm i'd probably leave early morning. Also what day, are you likely to get stuck in rush hour? Anna

I've just recently bit the bullet and started using Purestorm. I was really surprised at he response i've got - i'm booked up for the next 6 weeks! TBH i was quite intimidated by all the models (even amateurs for some reason) but I needn't have been. You can either make a post requesting...

I totally agree. Its just basic marketing, presenting your business in the most attractive way possible to your potential clients? Every other business does it. Should you lie to clients and say they are real weddings? - no, thats false adverising. But a photographers website is essentially...

Thats the one i had....lasted 3 months and then one day just nothing. Luckily I had backed everything up but it was a right pain in the bum. I've got 2 smaller seagate ones now and so far (6 months) no problems *touches wood*. Maybe i was unlucky? Anna

Thanks for the ideas! The Heritage centre at Holywell looks good as theres quite a few different opportunities in one place and we will probably have about 2 hours in total. I'm not sure myself about shooting at a NT site, think they might get a bit funny if we are there for too long? But...

Hi I've got a session booked with model looking to increase her portfolio with some location shoots later this week. The shoots will be around Mold, Flintshire so i am am looking for some suggestions, any ideas? I'm particularly interested in.... Ruins & castle - found Ewloe Castle on...

Hi Ali I seem to swing from one extreme to the other....I started out not knowing any rules (and was happy with my photography). Then i learnt the rules and i rarely found any of my shots measured up to what i thought they should be (or other peoples photography too..).....then I'll chill out a...

Congratulations she is beautiful (and nice pics too!) anna
