My fave of the set is LRC54150.jpg. That's a fine shot, Larry. Wedding photographers don't care about being obtrusive. It's a job, they are being paid for results, lawsuits can happen. :-) They also don't treat it as hands-off photojournalism: they get right in there and take charge. You here, you there, great. Now, I need all the bridesmaids over here. Etc. I figure wedding photographer is 98% people skills and business development skills and the rest photography skill.
Not dissing wedding photogs. I think it's the hardest photography there is, well next to war journalist I suppose. I don't have what it takes. I've already turned down a number of requests to do it. Leave it to the pros, I say. On Thu, Aug 9, 2012 at 4:26 AM, Larry Colen <[email protected]> wrote: > At the end of June, I photographed a friend's wedding.
