Once Upon a time - The groom & bride asked me, Why would i need a good photographer on my wedding day?

and i answered...The Only Thing left right after your wedding day is Your Photos. - expensive investment on: Beautiful Flower, Delicious Foods, Wonderful Moments, Wedding Hall decoration all gone the next day. -

I want a perfect Wedding.

Yes we all want one....But You don't need a perfect Wedding - because perfect sometimes boring...On your wedding day... What more important is how much you will enjoy your wedding and treasure all the moments...

i’m A Freelancer But not a Free Photographer

Tuesday, March 1, 2011 Posted in Workshop

So are you a Freelancer? or a FREE photographer? check out the email I received  months ago:

Hi Benny,

I am actually a freelancer Photographer, I shoot Free portrait photos and do tag a long with some of Weekend Wedding shooter.  i do have the portfolio and good shots for portrait and wedding as well. however my problem is, I hardly get any job, and if ever i got an offer, My Bride and groom asking for Free Photography coverage… & what they offering me is they will buy only those shots they may love or else i won’t get any paid.

and they only agree to buy each pic for RM0.040 cent. (Digital Copy large format). Do you have any solution on how to deal with this? Hope to get you reply soon


Thank ing you in advance,

Andy.

Are you experiencing this problem ? This is probably hard and though situation to handle… to be honest i never get such deal or offer. Because if i ever get this i’ll definately turn down the offer too :)

Why are you experiencing this problem?

- You’ve been doing Free Shooting for quite sometime?

- The people who introduce you to your potential client, probably said you area FREE photographer :)

- A very wrong ways of getting your Portfolio (less respected) ? Probably, you keep on approaching your subject from facebook and ask them to model for you for free?

If you are experiencing this problem. you can join me with my upcoming workshop – Photographer in business, in this workshop, i will share with you guys, on how to handle these situation, how to get started from & how to get the respect and getting the job!

this workshop will help you to grow, to think, and be smart in photography business.  The topic that i’m going to discuss is totally what bring me here now. This is totally no frills workshop but only thrill!
