Photography In The Time of Cholera
It’s been a difficult period drumming up work. There are a lot of people chasing photographic work. I had an enquiry via a designer colleague recently who said friends wanted their wedding photographed. They had one quote in for around £1,200-£1,500 which was too high for them. He couldn’t say what that price included but that the couple just wanted a CD of images handed over, no prints, album etc.
I suggested he tell them to call me. It has been a couple of weeks and I have had no call. I was going to get a photographer friend experienced at weddings to do the job and take a small percentage. He said I should do it myself and take the money whilst borrowing a long lens off him. If I could do most of it my own way then I could do it, accommodating as many of their requirements as I could. I’m not into ‘wedding’ photography but I can do a good job of giving them something ‘different’.
Meantime, heading up north to my niece’s wedding on Saturday> the run up to it includes ceremonies on Thursday and Friday which I will be photographing as well as quite a few shots to take on the wedding day itself. Will take the Mamiya C330f, perfect for good quality portraits, and some respect! Should be some good quality photography to upload along with all the other material I have promised…
