Mr Strat,
First of all, its gotten to the point that you posted what they wanted and
they still cant except it. This thread has gone on way too long over
nonsense.
Everyone who does Weddings does it for the Art and the money comes in as a
second thought. Yes, the money was very good and nobody cant deny that the
money is the driving force. Yes, my Boss had a very nice house. Nice car
and so on. A lot of the other Studios that did Weddings and Catering Houses
in the area also did/does (for those that are still around) extremely well.
The Studio that I used to work in charged a very high amount for our quality
and we shot Weddings almost every weekend and sometimes I got to work twice
in a weekend. We also had other photographers who worked for the studio and
they also shot Weddings in the same weekend. So we used to do some times at
least 3 or even 4 jobs or more in one weekend. The Studio was around for a
very long time before the owners retired. I haven't seen any of that family
in a very long time. I have heard about them and know that there still
around but I personally haven't seen them.
The money was there to be made, if you had a good rep and acted professional
then they would come. We did repetitive business, several times for
relatives and friends who liked our results and they all liked the way our
Photographers behaved. Sometimes I didn't like somebody for there attitude
(the photographer), but there quality was so good I couldn't complain. The
results made up for it. Some of those guys acted like used car salesmen
that had a product that no one else had and theres was the best. They were
good, but no better then the rest of that bunch that worked there. I got to
admit, that they all had great quality. I should know, during the week I
was the one who was the mass printer on the proofing machine and I printed
there work.
As an old photographer who used to do weddings when I was in my early
twenties, (a long time ago, LOL) Mr Strat has posted some things that only a
true wedding photographer would know. I am not swearing by it, but this is
a newsgroup and the trolls have flocked on this topic.
Give it a rest. Strat might have a bad tude, but because of his bad tude
doesn't mean he wasn't a photographer. I have seen plenty of bad attitudes
around in that business. Like photography owed them something and they
never became famous like Scouvoulo. Or any of the other famous
photographers that weren't any where near as good as there rep was.
