Did anyone watch the ferret

Oh dear dear dear, so he has offered to still give them an album, isnt that nice of him. :bang:
 
Jeez I'm no pro or or do togging as a job but I'm sure I could take a lot better pics than that. I'd be embarrased to hand them over wedding photos like that... even for free.
 
I'm amazed he managed to use flash inside the church. In the limited time I've been doing weddings, I've always been told on pain of death shall I use a flash (except for registry signing). But those are some really harsh shadows he's got there.
 
And on another thread we have a discussion about amateur photographers not being as good as "professionals" and taking money from them. Just glad I'm an amateur.
 
OMG....A thousand quid for that. I'm sure that the one's I took are better than that once sharpened. Cant believe he charged them that amount either.
 
It's probably a little bit expensive, the album shouldn't have cost £400, I get mine for about £150 then mark it up for the design work.

That really is a sweeping statement though. Albums vary in price for the bare albums and then the prints. I priced up a mario acerboni pano album with metallic prints and came to the conclusion that after the work involved putting it together it would need to be an £800 album complete.

For sure you can pick up cheaper albums and I do myself, but I don't think £400 for an album is quite as expensive as you think. ( ok it does of course depend on the album he was offering for the £400)

That sucks, I suppose that is the one saving grace for not having your name as your business name, there was a post by another pro tog on here today saying someone has started up a business with the same name. Really feel sorry for you, can really cause you problems.

Must be a real PITA for you. Especially if someone watches the show and googles "jeremy moore photography" and your site comes up first, with his second :(

Thank goodness you dont do weddings otherwise that TV programme could have done you some real damage.

I think you need to make the disclaimer on your site bold to make it stand out a bit more, I nearly missed it and given the negative press the other guy has had I think you need to make it stand out a bit more.

Hope it doesnt have any negative impact on you.

What a mess! I really feel for you. On the plus if you search on Google for 'Jeremy Moore Photography ' your website is top.

On the downside his website is 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th.

What a nightmare!

Have bolded it......ta!
 
Personally, I wouldn't take wedding photos if I was paid a million pounds, I don't need that kind of grief in my life.
I have looked at this guy's website, and he has some excellent photographs on there, although, as someone else said, the wedding gallery has been closed down.
Programmes such as The Ferret are notoriously sensationalist, they simply wouldn't exist if a balanced, two sided view of problems was shown, and I believe that if people would only talk sensibly to one another, there would be no need for them.
As for wedding albums, I have known friends be charged anything from £800 to £1,500 for a good album, it depends on the quality of the work involved.
I think that the kind of comments hurled at this photographer are rude, unkind and unbalanced, verging on libelous. I'd like to think that if someone set up a business with the same name as mine, I would contact them personally and try to get them to meet me and work out how we could get around the problem, before indulging in the sort of bad language [albeit written in **** form!] and bitterness witnessed here.
I respect other people's work, and if this guy is trying to make a living, as a fellow photographer, I wish him all the best; it's hard enough in this time of recession to make a crust without the name-calling and nastiness I have read here. It's unprofessional and unintelligent.

Are we watching the same programme? I caught it when it was on and I can't see how hearing his side of the story could make things any different.

The pictures were TERRIBLE and that is what was paid for.

That's one hell of a 1st post, I know that cariad is love in Welsh, so I am guessing you are from Wales......... Don't the guy in question by any chance do you?

1st post, welsh name, going out of the way to say they wouldn't shoot weddings...it does seem rather odd doesn't it.

Does anyone have a working link to the show? The one in the OP is dead and I can't find it online anywhere!
 
Sorry, ki_user, I had a bit of a rant there! Yes, Cariad can mean Love, sweetheart or darling in Welsh, and yes, I am Welsh and live in Wales. I guess you are asking if I know the guy in question, although that's not quite what you said, and the answer is no. I just get really fed up with people on the internet slagging other people off. I didn't even see The Ferret, but I have heard about this and took the time to look at the guy's pictures on his web site, They ARE really good, and I would like to see his wedding pics to judge for myself. I think that we are under enough pressure as photographers - from the public [every one is a photographer now], the police, [taking pictures is often seen as a terrorist threat], and from the economy, [who can afford to hire a pro these days?], without bitching at one another.

Rant over,
Goodnight!
 
Actually, Harvey Nikon, I simply said that I wouldn't shoot weddings to emphasise the point that I don't actually have an axe to grind here. I wouldn't shoot weddings because I don't need that kind of stress in my life, and no amount of money with entice me to do so.

I have to agree with you, there are some nice shots on his site, can't take that away from him. I don't slag off other peoples work as a general rule. Considering what he charged the people and the product he gave the clients I think I have been quite restrained. I think if he used the pics he took on his website he'd get a lot less work. Would like to see his reply to what happened, but I guess this will never happen.

hmm, well, I am sorry but it still smells fishy to me.

Your first post on here is defending someone who has been slated due to unprofessional and awful photos. Nobody takes the time to join an internet site just to defend someone they don't know. :suspect:
 
Just browsing today and came across this thread again.

To update matters I made several complaints to ITV Wales over their not differentiating "him" from me, but to no effect. They used the analogy of "John Williams Butcher, Llandovery" and "John Williams Butcher, Ammanford" (or something similar) .They maintained that they would not differentiate between these two, and therefore would not between us.

But "Jeremy Moore Photography, Ceredigion" ? Hardly a common name or profession in these parts.....

I also made an official complaint to OFCOM with basically the same result.

Regarding "Annicariad"'s posts, it did look a bit suspicious to me. These suspicions were re-inforced after I had two emails from "friends" (with gmail addresses -ie untraceable?) of Jeremy Moore, stating what an excellent photographer he was, how he had always come up with the goods in the past etc, etc.....

Both also had the same kind of warped logic and gratuitous insults explaining what a **** I was for putting a disclaimer on my website!!

I have reason to believe they were both from my namesake.

Well, I now see his website has not had its subscription renewed and is thus inaccessible. I can't wait for flicpic to take them down completely.....

Wow, was this really over a year ago. Noticed Annicariad only ever made 3 posts on this forum, all on this thread. It doesn't take Einstein to work out "she/he" is connected to afore mentioned "photographer".

His other noms de plume (possibly) -

"Howard" (hmjames66) and "KJ" (FreelanceNews_KJ)

There was rather an odd one from an Anne Lock as well.......
