Commercial photography

快樂牛郎

It's amazing how much photography has gone downhill since photoshop and DSLRs

My friend just told me one of her friends hired this guy to do engagement shots

I guess nowadays you just need to hire a monkey to take the shots and you work on the post-processing at home.

I agree with 快樂牛郎 , since the wedding day only happens once in a life time I suppose.....engagement photos are just kinda casual photos which can be taken every day.

Depends la, for example, couples may want to have their wedding portraits done in Europe but their wedding is being held in Vancouver, then they might want to have a portrait session done other than their actual wedding day, thus a pre-wedding or post-wedding might be needed. Besides, if the wedding day schedule is kinda tight and there won't be much time to do any portrait shots, then the couples might also want to have their portraits done in another day. Also, couples who want to share their wedding portraits with their families and friends on their wedding day, then they have to do a portrait session prior to the wedding day. Those are some of the very common reasons why pre-wedding and post-wedding photography exist. But I do agree that couples shouldn't spend all the money on pre-wedding/post-wedding but then they have no or very minimal budget on their actual wedding day.

Yea, every single shot could be an art (but also could be a shxt :b). Even the creator (the photographer) may intend to do an artistic shot and yes of course he/she is satisfied, maybe some people think they created art but also some people don't think so.

Wedding Day photography can be artistic too. You don't pose people or anything, but you make art out of the circumstance. Better yet, you make art out of emotions.

So yes, I agree. Pre-wed photos is almost worthless. Honestly one can take so called 'pre-wed' photos any day, spend a lil effort, pay up, and there you have it. Wedding day photos is once in a life-time. Definitely worth it to spend more $ to make sure memories are well captured and preserved.

Agree with the gross goosebumps feeling when I saw a few of the photos . I can't really stand looking at all of them...

Yes market is weird.
