you are a genius, removing the light in pp


CAN SOME ONE TELL ME WHAT IMO MEANS ??????????

James

would you be able to do moon shoots with a mirror telescope

James

I think this is getting of subject a bit

I conducted myself with complete professionally and with out fuss I directed clients/wife friend in a professional manner at no time was my self or my assistants unprofessional.

The Clients/wife friends where very impressed with the way I worked and said "they would recommend me"

and more to the point they where impressed and delighted with their images

all i was asking for was help and advice with the sd card and stop the root of free

James

ken

I had an assistant and a second photographer (only for candid work)

James.

I didn't want any think to go wrong on my first/last unpaid wedding

ok I will put this one down to experience give them the book and tell them if they want the sd card with the 78 EXTRA IMAGES they will have to pay for them no low res no water-mark just high res images.

If they slag me off and I lose work because of it then they where no very good friends to start with.

Ken I am sorry but I am trying to work as a semi-pro just building up clients and a good rep.

I wanted to charge for my photography from the start but the wife got involved and they are really here friends

James

ken I'm sorry but i find your contribution to my plea for help offensive

James

don I like that idea a lot

James

has anyone got a example of a contract I can read and alter for my needs

I said I would do the shoot for free but would appreciate a token fee due to the expense of extra lens and spare body.

I said I would give them a wedding book of around 40 images this gives me the opportunity to have a extra one for my portfolio/studio

I've leant them a laptop(old one)to view there images on.

but where dose free stop and can it be stopped

James

ok you all have valuable points
How ever I really feel that I am been ripped off.

worked all those hours for free worked hard all day and not to mention the sleepless nights and all the hours getting the images right and on to disc
with watermarks to stop people copying the images.

I also had a lens broken by one of the wedding guests ( they didn't even offer to have it replaced/repaired not even a sorry)

I'm even giving them a wedding book for free as this was what i said i would do as a wedding gift.

but their is only so much I want to give

as they have not paid for the event or final images do I retain copyrights can I refuse to release to images

James

I've done a wedding and asked the client to pick 40 images from the 750 images that where taken on the day (for general distribution and a wedding book) all is good but, now the client wants an extra 78 images for a picture viewer for there home on a SD card

the question is how do I stop/prevent the SD card from being copied and printed from this wedding was done for a friend but I don't want to be ripped off as I've all ready done this on the cheap.They have requested that no watermark be applied to their images.

I worked from 10.00am to 9.30pm for free ( only asked for a token fee )client to pay for ink and paper for their images.

James

Ps
not doing this again for free or a wedding
