ok
everyone has an opinion on how good a photo is or isn`t . it`s called choice .
if you post a photo you have to be ready to be shot down . if not don`t post it . however there are ways to do this .
one don`t comment there by giving your opinion with silence, or simply say sorry it dosn`t work for me .
or how about advice on how to improve .
The most important thing is if the people you do the work for are happy .
Can someone please tell me what a pro is.
is it someone who has letters after his/her name
or someone who has been paid for work done.
has a pro ever had work go wrong if so are they no longer pro`s .
i have done a few weddings now . and i`m not a pro .
this started when my neighbor's had a PRO shoot there wedding . 3 years ago . i shot some as candids , and A good job i did because they never even received the photo`s from the pro they had chosen.
Her brother asked if i could do there wedding . they were happy and showed people the album . i have picked up 3 bookings from that one wedding , because they liked the style i use .others might hat it . so am i now cr*p
i tell people if they want Angles floating over there heads then ask someone else .
Armature vrs pro
my dad once asked what can an Armature artist charge
Answer there is no such thing .. if someone likes what you do they will pay .
As for photography it is knowing your camera and other gear . have backup`s to cover what might breakdown . i have seen the work of a pro on here and his gallery and his photo`s are good but don`t blow me away . someone else might look and say wow .
he clearly loves his work himself by comments left for armatures .
it is a shame to see someone leave who could offer more than just harsh comments .
Rog ( Armature ) that want`s to get better and better
