p.1 #1 · New to Fred Miranda

Hello all! I'm new to Fred Miranda. I've known about it for a while, but hesitated in signing up because I don't deal well with critique from strangers. I hope to overcome that so that I can grow as a photographer and learn from all of you.

I shot my first wedding in 2001, but didn't know what I was doing until around the summer of 2010. I was thankful to go full time in June of 2012 shooting 37 weddings last year and I have 34 for this year so far (hoping for a few more!). It's awesome to do something I love and support my family while doing it.

I look forward to learning together and connecting with other photographers!

Here is my new site that I just launched over the weekend. There are still a few things to work out...

Hey. Welcome to FM.

First, stunning stunning work on your website. Cool of you to come on here and announce that you don't take critique well. Do you think this is because you rate your own work so highly? I've always welcomed critique because I know there's so much I need to learn and improve on.

In any case, your work is really fantastic. Welcome to the forum and I look forward to seeing more posts from you.

Thanks ct8282 for your response! I do welcome critique when it's from people I know care about me and want the best for me, however I don't always handle it well in forums like this because it's sometimes void of relationship and can be harsh. With that said, I do believe that people on forums are more brutally honest than friends and family, and because of that it will help me to grow in ways that I wouldn't otherwise.

Also, like you said, I'm the greatest critic of my work and feel that others will be just as hard on me as I am on myself.

I'm glad you like my work! Thanks for taking the time to head over to my site and check it out.

Morby... You suck! lousy colors - PP and composition!

There ... now that we took care of the small stuff we can get busy.

Welcome to FM.

The first sentence... just playing. Some nice work.

While this place has been a little soft lately on critiques ... it is bound to swing the other way.
So if you are thin skinned - you have been warned.

Haha! Thanks Mark. You made me cry... I probably won't sleep for the next week or ever shoot a wedding again, but I think you're feedback is spot on

I'm probably making myself out to be more of a wimp than I am. I think I'll survive on here without wanting to quit wedding photography!

funny boy.....

The fun of FM is when the shark tank gets a little or a lot testy!!
then we all can learn.

So just post up some images and let the fun begin. Do state if you feedback or if you are just sharing.

Its all good.

Tony, you will get to know me plenty well!

I'll be that guy at your workshop in March raising my hand every 5 minutes and asking a question. I'll be sure to get my money's worth!

Thanks Robin! I'm offering a wedding photography one day workshop on April 6th. 12 spots are taken and 3 are left if you want to check it out. The details are on my website under events. However, it's in PA, which is a long way from CO

Last thing this place needs is more people that are significantly better than me. Welcome, I guess....
