Then my non-emotional response is that you probably have not seen photos taken by people who know how to use flash well.

Talk is cheap and you are taking what he means out of context, if you ask me. I don't think he's saying that the coverage of the wedding doesn't have to include people at all. What he is saying is that a wedding need not just be about pictures of people. Which is absolutely fine. If you have actually taken the time to look at good wedding photographers' portfolio you'd see that they often take photos of the dress, wedding favours, even just the table setting when no guests are around, the decor... the list of non-people shots goes on and on. But what they still DO shoot are the people involved in the wedding. With no people, there is no wedding. If you are trying to push some rather utopian point that as long as the wedding photographer thinks his pictures will evoke an emotional reaction in clients, including to the point where people photos are not required (which it seems you are) then good luck, maybe you can try the following:
1) Go offer your services as wedding photographer
2) Get a job at whatever price, let's just say the location is Mandarin Oriental Hotel
3) Just go around the whole hotel shooting anything but people involved in the wedding
4) Pass the clients your photos and please let us know their response (though I suspect you will be stomped)
5) In response, you can link your world-famous photographer post and let us know if they buy it
Cheers!

Not all locations are so nice and forgiving such that you can press "tungsten" and it will work fine throughout.
Some locations have a whole mixture of lighting- got tungsten, got fluorescent, got fluorescent and tungsten mixed up altogether too....

Hire bulldozer to clear distance for me to shoot the table shots? :bsmilie:
mostly done with off camera flash or with softbox,
should show what can a pro do with flash mounted on camera hotshoe.
I already said one of the method in post #32,
maybe for your style you can try do a pano stitch with 70-200 for table shot,
another photographer will do a 1 sec panning shot with 70-200 for table shot,
and Bonrya will shoot all the feet with 70-200 for the table shot.
be creative, think out of the box,

Need to hire stormtroopers to freeze every table in carbonite first. :bsmilie:
cool down, bro.
This is all discussion and i am just expressing my opinions on those comments. This is what forums are for. To share, explore, learn and improve.
take it easy.
I am totally cool about the whole thing. If you want to burn your paying jobs, it is fine by me, because what you do doesn't matter to me. You should go rock yourself out.
that's remind me of this thread, [h=3]Can You Trust Your Professional Photographer?[/h]
the original article; Can You Trust Your Professional Photographer? - Los Angeles Photography | Examiner.com
This lady photographer is so bold, only half pass six still dare to fly to another state to do a assignment which have not done any similar shoot before, and some more on a unfamiliar site.
at first I find it so hard to believe, and it is so hilarious,
but when I looking back here, sama sama, we have plenty of people here doing these, it is not funny at all.

IMHO, i find photos taken with flash look artificial.
I am a person who like to explore new concept.
Most probably i would try out with a 85mm coupled with a 35mm [X100?] the next time any of my relatives or friends has got a weddingand go along with the main photog the whole day and see how the result would be.
Good luck.

it is IMPOSSIBLE to have all the wedding photos to be lack of people lah. This is common sense lah, non-photog will know this too!. Even our good friend C.C. also know about this :bsmilie:. He has got 4000 shots and most of them has got people too, just that some are not so focus, which some so called pro find it unacceptable. LOL. But somehow, from the description of CC works that get stomped, seems that his style is quite similar to this mentioned world renowned wedding photog.:sweat: Just that some "pro" here in singapore don't appreciate:bsmilie: or just because he is not famous enough?

Er, I have seen the photos and also C.C's previous work.
Emotional reaction.... Hahaha. Emo reaction maybe la. :bsmilie:
If you have seen the actual pictures and you still feel the same... my condolences to your taste... (or lack of).

would like to thank all for the insightful comments.
I must admit that i might hv got a bit emotional too. Apologise to all.
In fact, i am just an amateur and working in a totally different line and not likely to have intention to make wedding photography or photography in general for my living.
As stated clearly in my first post, the statement is purely based on hypothesis, not based valuable experience like those from our pro bros here who are experts in their profession. It is purely based on curiosity and a desire to explore new concept as a hobbyist to photography.
the "world renown photog" quote is just an illustration of the possibilities, it is not meant to prove or confirm something, and my comments are just my opinion on some of the aspect mentioned in that quote.

if you have seen the actual pictures of the "world renowned photog", you will be shocked too:bsmilie: Some of the pics in his works are so "extraordinary" [ cannot elaborate much else may get sued] that our Asian values and/or the bridegroom might not be able to accept. Including myself.
Different strokes for different folks, i guess.
