Then another 3 more, later when the push becomes momentum.....why not another 3? I survived but then the first 3 years was in the negative....(Seriously I wondered how did I survived then)

Anyone noticed that the event has a photobooth? Perhaps they have already paid high for the photobooth which they think is more important and skimp on the event photography itself?

OUCH! Since the company/guys have been doing this since 2003, there should be a workflow or a system of backups and retrievals Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) that needs to be followed unlike the newbies. If they didn't do that, then it's rather difficult to have damage control then...

Personally haven't come across that stage though have corrupted files before but luckily managed to salvage the data which the client don't even know. Then again, from that experience, we use 2 cameras all the time. Usually we will put it in writing that the reimbursement will always be the...

Agree with this method 100%

It's only a matter of attitude towards work. Take it with stride and do your job if you are the paid photographer. The "nuisance" will always be there and when one notices a certain professionalism in the way you shoot, (which I call "charisma") most of the other photographers will give way...

Hope this slideshow helps as this was a summary of a typical Indian wedding ceremony done much earlier. http://jetfynn.blogspot.com/2010/03/siva-and-mekdha-indian-wedding.html Happy shooting! :D

All I can say is the web presence does help a lot for clients to scrutinise your work before they will even commit to give you a call, let alone giving you the order.

Can get a cab to take you places for 1 whole day. Prices varies according to driver though. Should be in the region of RM100-RM180. They will be able to show you the local specialties as well.

To hit 100K turnover by second year = possible. To hit 100K income - all expenses = probable. :think:

We were engaged to do the wedding photography and we were surprised on the day as we saw a familiar face. Her father! He was our customer long time ago...... (The world is sooooo small, and I realised that Ivy was the little girl who was wearing a school uniform then. How time flies!) Also...

I'm having Selphy 400 and the Selphy 730. The selphy 400 is about 10 seconds slower than 730 series. Technically, the newer models will have better and faster print rate.
