>>4347031wedding photographers are like parasites too
they know they can scam big bucks (order of thousands from wealthy couple) and most retarded faggots (normies who only ever see phone photo quality) are happy to give parasitic wedding chaser photogs a callout to friends for recommendations unless they are absolutely offended at the lack of competence from them
a lot of them literally stalk people IRL
like they will hunt for couples on social media and reach out to them
they try to milk as much money as they can from them rather than having up front pricing
and most of them don't ever put that much effort into their actual photography which is a shame
>have the bride in absolutely beautiful lighting (sun+backlit) not take any photoskek
this is a tricky situation since cameras have shit dynamic range (like 10 stops, eye sees over 20 stops) but a little fill flash can let you capture the sun backlighting while illuminating the face enough to look good in a photo
not taking any photos or even trying to there is peak stupidity
>and instead move them to undercover beneath a building where it's pure shade, and not have any off camera lighting at all and take photosThis is so ridiculous yet typical.
I bet they shot JPEG too.
>>4347041properly using lights is too much to expect from wedding photogs
this shit is only gonna get worse the more photoshop and shit adds ai "denoise" bullshit and stuff but the silver lining is eventually people will just realize they're hacks and just start using phones and doing the same
Actually good people with talent and knowledge (not just baby's first DSLR and zoom lens) will always find work but I figure in the next few decades all these grifters will be weeded out for the most part.
