da1lyoperations Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to mn1_fuckos again." Sorry dude, all propped out. Haha. Anyway, I think you should stick to the stuff you're shooting at the moment. It's good, like Lorem said, it's not the money maker but it's the raw shit. Weddings will make you big cash but you have to change your whole branding/image to market for couples and then you end up having to put together little 'wedding packages'. Prints, slideshows with music, web galleries. That's just my bias towards it, but what you're doing is dope. Events would be good though, on a whole different level to weddings. Stuff like what you're doing can lead to journalism gigs, magazine work, 'street style' fashion shoots.. You won't end up living the high life but you'll be living the life! Just my little rant for the day. I'll post some shit once I get some rolls developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOU Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I took this going down an escalator.. I'm guessing it would be a lot better if the light part of the photo showed the whole shape.. Crits? This one I feel is missing something, but not sure. I need to really start learning from you guys. I know that a lot of this is just having an eye for seeing what others don't, but I definitely know you can always improve and change your perception. Mad props to all you cats doing things proper in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn1_fuckos Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 shot this earlier i was fuckin with light and long exposures i really like the final product.

IOU Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 That's what I was sort of thinking MN.. It was a one time shot though. Next time I'll take the stairs and take my time. Definitely feeling that shaker shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street photog for life for me. thats where the emotions are raw and real.thanks for the invisible props though if it wasnt for you peeps my shit wouldnt have progressed! I agree to an extent. Although it's like working a job you hate. You might be pulling in good cash but you're always thinking about what you'd rather be doing. After a while it'll start messing with you. I spent over a year in one job I hated and every day I was thinking about where else I could be. I was making good money but I had to go. I'll try to elaborate on what I said before a bit - When you take the step to shoot wedding photography, it's a big step. A lot of people shoot weddings casually, you can see their portfolios with landscapes, weddings, portraits, etc.. But the ones making the real money are those who dedicate their photography to weddings. Their portfolios become weddings only, and their websites are changed to appeal to couples, along with their name/image. It's hard to move into that industry while shooting street stuff. I've offered to shoot a few weddings from classifieds I've seen, and most of the time the client has said they've gone with someone else because of their portfolio content. People looking for a wedding photographer are often put off by seeing street/urban/raw shots. They want their magical fairytale photos. Which is why wedding photographers change their image to suit the client. From shooting the raw street stuff that you're doing mn1, you can still get into the good money making stuff. Events, music gigs, fashion (studio and street style) and photojournalism. A lot of good opportunities. I'm not saying "don't shoot weddings", it's just a niche market, you have to change your image to suit the clients needs. Same with sports, landscapes, etc.. But with those markets it's not so much about image. You can shoot great landscapes and still have good 'urban' photography. Just my 2 cents on it, anyone, feel free to argue, etc..

MayorMeanBeans Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 When I'm not out shooting, I also teach/volunteer teaching kids photography with a couple different organizations. Recently, I received a grant to teach in three of the most dangerous outlying suburbs. Here are some of the pictures that the kids took. They are all between the ages of 12 and 17, and most had never held a camera before they started in the class: check me out lounging in the background all of these photos were taken with super shitty point and clicks. not that they're perfect or anything, but one thing i've learned from these kids is to not put so much pressure on myself looking for the perfect shot. it'll come, you just have to be prepared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh_snap Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 here's a bunch more from our class outing last week, these were taken with my d300s. the stuff i posted like 2 pages back were shot with my teachers canon (i've never shot with a canon before so it took a little bit to get used to the different control layout) because she had a tilt shift lens that she was letting us try out. and i think i was the only one in the class that knew much about the lens, because i was the only one that was really stoked to shoot with it. also, i'm going to break this up into 2 posts, because it's kind of long. i know mn1 posted one of this guy, but he was going nuts on this cabbie for like ten minutes, so i got a bunch of shots as well. i didn't see the beginning, but he was saying that the cabbie almost took his arm off.

MayorMeanBeans Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Not a very good photo, but it cracks me up how often girls are like, "take my picture" then do that hand on the hip pose. kind of hard to see, but these dumbass kids were having a 'walk on broken glass' contest to see who could do it without getting cut. When I told them not to do it, they called me a faggot. This is a picture of the girl right after her foot got cut. One can only sigh sometimes.

Lazilla Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I've been taking a lot of pictures of graffiti in abandoned places in copenhagen. And now i've made a slide with the new ons, added some very nice music (not mine obiously!) Go see if you like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
