p.1 #2 · p.1 #2 · Please Critique First Wedding For I just Started Photography | |
There are several faults and mistakes I see.
If the first wedding I ever did had the same number of faults and mistakes, I'd have not got my head though the door! Come to think of it, I wouldn't exactly be crying now after all I have done so far!
Well done mate.
There is so much RIGHT with those pics that the imperfections that every shooter makes don't mean diddly squat.
I think you did a great job and for your first or 50th wedding, its a good, solid set of pics that I would guarantee the couple will be very happy with and will get you referrals.
My strongest piece of advise would be to put the opinions of your clients and potential clients first and the opinions of other photographers well behind.
Shooters will always nit pick and frankly often say stupid things like " You should have moved to the left to get better framing" When the picture is a totally unexpected grab shot like someone slipping over on their arse. Had you taken the time to frame the shot better, the picture and the moment would be long gone and you'd end up with nothing at all.
Clients Don't nit pick. They say they like the expression on the persons face, it's a sharp, well lit, focused shot and that's the beginning and end of their technical concerns.
When I deliver an album, one of the last things I say to me clients is " Tell me what I did wrong, what you didn't like, what I could do better or what I should change in any part or your experience with my photos or business."
I make notes of what they tell me ( if anything) and that's what I keep in mind.
Many say that the critique from other shooters helps them and if it has value to you, terrific. I would just suggest the one thing you keep in mind is whom is hiring and paying you.
My other suggestion is your work is highly competent and there is infinitely more to be gained at this point in your career as a shooter by putting time and effort into learning business principals such as marketing, advertising and sales than putting all your effort into trying to become the worlds best shooter.
Hundreds will probably disagree with me,you can only take each opinion for what you think it's worth.
My opinion is that you did and outstanding job with these pics and you should be both confident in your abilities and proud of what you have already done.
