Singhao 1st Gear July 19, 2012 Share July 19, 2012 Actually I kinda pity the photographer. I think he is definitely guilty of overselling himself but I don't think he deserves the treatment by the couple. Looking at all the pictures available (the samples posted by the couple and those available on his FB page), it seems that he has tried his best to shoot the photos - the ones posted by the couple are probably the worst ones, and those posted by the photographer on his FB page are probably his best. The couple did ask for RAW files without post processing for $600. Some inexperience freelancers out there tend to rely heavily on photoshop to post-process the colour/brightness/composition. But seriously, $600 for photographer plus assistant is really peanuts. More like an insult. I was charging more when I was a young and inexperienced freelancer a long time ago....

He lost his whole family and he was the sole survivor after unconscious for a really long time. However, I have no comments on his photo skill because things can change a lot after 10 years. We all started out digital photography more than 10 years ago, some of us make it big and become full time professional, while some sold away everything for new hobby, i am probably the only one that still stuck at doing freelance only Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwchan 1st Gear July 19, 2012 Share July 19, 2012 (edited) Warn: wall of text. after quickly glance thru the writeup and his recent work, i think it is not fair to judge him when the couple never show some example. I think one of the mistakes he made as a professional photographer is to give the couple ALL THE PHOTO TAKEN without editing/touch up. it will be tiring for the couple to go thru all the 4000 pix when there are bound to have some pix that are repeated, slightly blur or out of focus. Personally, my "hit rate" is about 20-30% and I still need to spend time touch up the photo before giving to the couple.
