I find it rather humorous that on a continent with hundreds of millions of people and an enormous talent pool of photographers with varying styles... three peeps suggested the same one guy, from a totally different country, to shoot a couple's session in Rome... and picked a guy that does work I personally really dig (especially the family stuff) but that is for sure a very specific niche.... without any initial suggestion from the OP that that specific style is what she's after
I guess it goes to show that while we're on the wide-open internets and potentially draw from a pool of billions of people... at the end of the day we're like the kids who hang out outside of high school who all know the same (small) group of kids and aren't aware of just how small of a pool of people they're drawing from
I guess it shouldn't be surprising, but it is rather humorous
Don't believe me?
Try this:
I'm getting married on the west coast... either in California or Washington State. Think of three photographers I should consider.

How many didn't put Hassas, Sergio and Pingol as any of the three names?
Now consider that I never said what kind of photography I'm into.
P.S. For the record... the next time I'm in Italy on vacation with my family I will probably contact Albert and find out what it would cost to have an "in the home" session done... and probably try to bribe him with offers of a place to stay in italy... some epic Italian food (I didn't hook my wife with my good looks) and some hard cash... so I'm totally not knocking the suggestion... it's just incredibly weird in a way.
P.P.S. Screw Albert... I'll probably just call Chuck... trade some babysitting services and a room for him and the fam... and I'll be set ...Show more →
Show me five photographers from Europe that are not the same as most other photographers. Out of all those photographers most are still doing the exact same shots.
