This is a title I found on a bridal forum and I thought to myself, I can answer this. So what is a good photographer?
1. Shows up on time or early for appointments and the day of the wedding. It takes a certain amount of time to get ready to shoot and no one really [...]

This is a debate that is soon to be moot. First of all, nearly all labs that make prints would take your film negatives and scan them to make prints and so would most photographers who have film scanners. This mean that even film shooters are getting 2nd generation digital files which means a loss [...]

I have very strong opinions on this subject. I see a lot of brides (and brides to be) raving about their photographer on wedding forums. I also see a lot of votes for photography studios on city forums like fox and others. Now comes my point. I like to see other photographers’ work and the [...]

It seems like a no brainer. Why would you hire a studio that offers 2 photographers for the day vs a studio that only has 1 photographer. Myself, I am usually the only shooter but I let my assistants shoot when I don’t need them for other tasks and I have many other very good [...]
