Have you ever wondered why wedding photographers are so expensive? Aren’t all they do is bring a large and expensive camera to the venue and press some 1000 times on the shutter button? It’s just too easy for them to charge $3000 for a one-day wedding when all they do is hang out there and edit some photos.
The fact that they are making so much money is just absurd.
Sounds familiar? Look no further. The answers to your long-time queries have been answered in this article
Here is an short and interesting article about how some organisations try to get free images from hardworking and deserving photographers by enticing them with some “exposure” to their 10,000 clients and customer base.
I recall reading about this online, does it mean that your clients can forgo paying water and electricity bills just because they are from some non-profit organisations? Can they get “discounts” from the local photocopier? Come on, people still need to make a living!! And such organisations are destroying honest people’s livelihood by having the cheek to even think about that.
Stop saying you will give the photographer exposure through your publication by giving full credit. And stop giving out your work for peanuts or even for free. It degrades yourself and your work. Credit for images used is mandatory in the first place.
I will currently processing and editing images from my Bhutan trip as much as I can. Normally, quite a lot of time is spent on each image for the selection, adjustments of white balance, colour, cropping etc, but I will post each of them as I finish, like what is being done for the past few blog posts you can see here.

This post is a follow up to the previous article which addressed issues photographers face during renaming and storing their photographs in an effective and failproof way.
After figuring out how you should name your images, the storage part should be easy and straightforward. For instance, if your file naming convention goes something like TP1110WZ00001.NEF where “1110″ refers to “Year 2011″ and “Month of October”, you could consider sorting your images in folders according to “Month”. For eg, TP1101, TP1102, TP1103 etc.
If you decide to name your files using only the “Year” as in TP2011WZ001.NEF, sorting in folders according to “Year” is another option.
To make locating images even more efficient, you could also consider adding some descriptive text to the folder names so that you can easily identify the content of each folder.
