Chris Beaumont Offline Image Upload: Off Online ad C+C please Evening everyone, I'm going to run a 3 month trial with the website that is top of the natural (ie non paid for) listings on google for wedding photographers in my area, see if I can get my enquiries up, still in my first season of wedding photography, had 7 bookings for the summer, and 3 booked for next year. I'd like the opinion of the more experienced members of this forum as to what they think of the advert (I'm in the little ol' UK so I'm no threat to most of you lol) Max ad size is 450px x 250px, which I know is a bit on the small side, but this as big as I was allowed to go. Thanks in advance, Chris Jul 03, 2008 at 08:50 PM

technocraft Offline Buy and Sell: On Online ad C+C please I don't think you should have two ring shots. Mix in something else. Jul 03, 2008 at 09:08 PM

Chris Beaumont Offline Image Upload: Off Online ad C+C please Good call, I did wonder about that myself. Thanks Jul 03, 2008 at 09:09 PM

Chris Beaumont Offline Image Upload: Off Online ad C+C please How about this amended version? Jul 03, 2008 at 09:16 PM

europedreamer Offline Image Upload: Off Online ad C+C please I think I'd like the right photo to be in color and I'm not really digging the two couple shots both being blurry. Just my opinion though. Jul 03, 2008 at 09:18 PM

Sam Hassas Offline Image Upload: On Online ad C+C please Clone out her tattoo on her back. The picture of the Bently and then her tattoo just don't mesh. Speaks two different attitudes. nice otherwise ~sam Jul 03, 2008 at 09:23 PM

Chris Beaumont Offline Image Upload: Off Online ad C+C please Haha, thank you Sam, you're very right, I'll see to that now. @ europedreamer - the right photo is mono because the mix of DJ lights, small amount of natural light and the flash (taken at about 1/5 using flash to freeze them at the end) is a complete mess to be totally honest.

Chris Beaumont Offline Image Upload: Off Online ad C+C please I also have a photo I really like of the best man and his daughter looking at each other in an unguarded moment, it's very sweet, but I'm worried the initial reaction if I placed it in a wedding advert would be "she looks a bit young for him" rather than "aaaww" - do people expect to see only brides and grooms ?

Chris Beaumont Offline Image Upload: Off Online ad C+C please A colour, less lensbaby-esque, but I also think duller, photo on the right. Chris Jul 03, 2008 at 09:36 PM

Saad Syed Offline Image Upload: On Online ad C+C please I would go with all color or all b/w personally. I like the last as the best. Jul 03, 2008 at 10:56 PM

Chris Beaumont Offline Image Upload: Off Online ad C+C please This is real size, it's a web-ad for this directory - http://www.photographers.co.uk/html/photographers-5.cfm?county=Oxfordshire&speciality=Wedding Chris Jul 04, 2008 at 07:14 AM

Thanks Saad, Left to me I'd go all mono, If I were born 10 years earlier I'd be shooting weddings exclusively on Kodak BW400, but unfortunately I think putting all mono on an advert, especially in the area where I am, which is particularly affluent, would lead to less enquiries, maybe in a few years when I've more experience and have the confidence, and the chance, to be a bit more picky about my market.

Marcus Watts Offline Image Upload: Off Online ad C+C please Skip the detail shot in the middle and do another shot of a couple or just a bride. Nice otherwise. Jul 04, 2008 at 07:23 AM
