Please please all your response very harsh, I thought arts people should be more gentle.

I wasn't laughing at your kind offer to help those who wanna learn but your statements about professional photographers are a bit hardcore. Arts people can be gentle but I'm sure they won't think twice to show their middle fingers if they are insulted :sweat:
 

oooh so i got it wrong again... its that statement, I willingly take it back and say sorry for photographers that respect their arts.
Unfortunately I have not come across one commercial photographer that earn my respect lor, and for me, their charges are really not justifiable. Okay dun flame me for this, I just wan to view my persoanl thoughts only!!!
 

okok I get it, you all thought I am not going to pay, well in the first place, I am not looking for people that expect to be paid, I am looking for aspriing students to have some kind of experience, in whatever style they want, just for trying out and see if it works for them. You all are right though its my wedding, but I am not too keen on having pictures taken, and if can I will do without, but for the sake of the other beautiful people around, they deserve some attention. Please please all your response very harsh, I thought arts people should be more gentle.
dunno how u're gonna tell ur kids next time when they ask "mommy/daddy, why are the wedding pictures so badly taken?"
 

Actually, it can be quite educational for students. Can I bring a class of 20 students and then teach them while the wedding is going on??;)

Look at it this way, you get 20 creative students taking from 20 angles!

But of course you will need to forgive them if they do not live up to your expectations....they are after all students.

Teacher: "Alright class, right now the MUA is applying the typical Spore style of makeup. You can choose to use a low F to isolate that interesting crop of hair, the messy bed would then be blurred into a nice bokeh..."

Students goes "Ah....." *Snap* *snap* *snap*

Ah Mao: " 'cher what is a crop of hair and what is a bokeh and what is a F??"

Teacher: "RTFM kid!"
:bsmilie:

Hmm... I may even be able to collect $5 tution fee!

makes me wonder how much u actually tried to look. there're quite a handful here in cs that produces great pictures. i dont know how much it takes to earn your respect, but my opinion is that you should at least place your pride on par with the quality of work you yourself can produce, which, honestly, isnt enought to earn one-tenth the people here's respect.
 

Must be trusting, as long as one put effort into his/her project, I do not believe the output can be so bad, out of 1000 photos, one or two pictures will at least be good right?
Er, 20 students abit squeezy, can get the most hardworking one?
LeeJay can I have your email if you are interested?

any, every photos have at least five students at the background.
 

Don't mean to be rude, but since you are looking for highly enthusiatic free photographers why not turn it into a more fun and interesting wedding event for all the photogrers here?

Perhaps you can make it into a relay shoot, and invite all interested photogers to the shoot.

Maybe 2 photogers shoot for 1hr, follow by another 2photogers...all the way till the end of the wedding. If it's a 10 hrs event, you can open it to 20 photogers. That way, every photoger will be creative and energetic since it's only 1 hr no strings attached, trigger happy free shoot. If every photoger shoots 60 photos in their 1 hr slot, you can walk away with 1200 photos (60 x 20).

Since it's free, you may like to offer them the right to use it for portfolio too. Just a thought....

Don't put your words down too early. I'll make your jaws drop.
 

Clown is right, I do not produce any quality photos, but why should I go around hoping to bump into good photographers on purpose, very tiring, I just referring to my encounters in other events. Thats why I post this to see who got a simple but determined mindset waiting to try out.
djork okay I guess I cannot stop people from flaming, but I always have to explain, life is already very tiring, and still have to mind what I type, guess thats why alot of people turn to blogging, write what they want.
After all these posts, I feel abit tired and disheartened, guess I have to drop this request, but you know to those really crying for a chance, please secretly email me. kwattivy@hotmail.com
 

WAH! Wedding shots with students in the photo! this want sure funny one. :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:
 

I still never understood why this whole community seems to scoff at people who don't want to pay or want to pay cheap for wedding photos.

It's their wedding, not yours. If they want to ruin it, let them.
