my school had a shocker. the school photographs, taken on medium format by y**** broad*** sucks. pupils looking in ALL imagineable directions, names all jumbled up, WB that's OFF...
i'm not the one who hired them, but i actually expected it. the terms they had was, FREE shooting, and they get money only if there are orders.
that morning when i saw them, i was expecting something bad to happen - imagine one old man photographer (not to say old men aren't good, i'll become one myself one day), with THREE other old men friends, using only ONE MF body to shoot, ONLY ONE handheld flashgun to add light. can you imagine one old man hunching over to focus on the mamiya, while one of his old friend (pun intended) *tiptoeing* and holding the flashgun ABOVE the photog's head to shoot?
sigh. we talk about lack of quality, this one is atrocious. shoot for free, akin to prostitution, waste the WHOLE SCHOOL'S time taking the photos, and to top it off, they went FAR behind schedule...
