I'm currently working on a campaign which will be used as really massive posters, like the whole side of a building.
The art of professional digital photography is to convince the customer to
accept crap.
Well, I thought there was more to it than that! :-)
If anyone might get within a hundred meters of the building, you need the
highest practicable resolution, and this is the 88Mp, 250MB files produced
by the 16 shot backs (that can do 22Mp in single shot).
Well, I've worked on huge poster years before digi backs, with images shot on 5x4.....and they looked great! Huge posters, and even smaller ones like adshells (Sides of bus shelters in the U.K.....dunno if they are an international thing??!) ARE produced by smaller file sizes. I was talking to a printer mate of mine the other day who complains that the files he gets from photographers now-a-days are usually TOO BIG!
- beg, borrow hire or acquire one - let someone else have a go - convince them to accept what you can produce.
IS this back to the thread of 'if you have not spent 20k on a digi back then you are not a Pro Photographer.'
Photography is not about equipment, its about producing creative, beautiful images that fit the brief, sell the product AND make a margin for the Smudger. If someone fulfils the brief shooting on a pinhole camera which cost �1 to make, who cares!
Yawn, Yawn
