Becoming Professional With Your Bridal

Friday, March 19th, 2010

You are creating something that people will keep for years to come. You are capturing a very special moment in people’s lives. Guaranteeing quality and highly skilled photography is something every bride and groom wants. If you are a photographer you might want to consider photographing weddings because there is a lot of money to be made by doing them. As well as the money though there is the risk that you must manage well.

If this is going to be your first wedding shoot you will want to make sure your contract is written up properly and a disclaimer included in it. If you don’t have a disclaimer you could be sued afterwards. For example, you should include that you are not responsible for pictures that might get lost after you send the film away to get developed, or pictures that do not come out clear due to equipment failure. You do not want to be sued for breaching your contract.

Want To Be A Bridal Photographer

Friday, September 25th, 2009

A wedding is the kind of occasion that people want to display pictures of for years to come. Every bride and groom wants someone who is well trained and who will guarantee quality. If you choose to be a wedding photographer you can make a lot of money by doing so. With the money comes the risk which you must manage well.

If this is going to be your first wedding shoot you will want to make sure your contract is written up properly and a disclaimer included in it. If you don’t have a disclaimer you could be sued afterwards. For example, you should include that you are not responsible for pictures that might get lost after you send the film away to get developed, or pictures that do not come out clear due to equipment failure. Otherwise you could get sued for breach of contract.

The hourly rate and how many pictures are to be taken should also be included in the contract. Something else you should include would be the fees for developing and the fee of the album. Make sure you discuss with your clients what their requirements are. They might want a certain person or family they would like pictures of since they don’t get to see them often, so that should be discussed as well if it is an issue.

Pressing Onward: Letterpress

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

It is a depressing situation. An average trip to the mailbox — or the front step, where the mail is shoved through a slot and piles on the floor — will yield: unwanted bills, magazine offers, or generic coupon booklets. Once in a blue moon, though, you might actually get a letter from an actual human being. Or, better yet, you may receive an invitation from someone who thinks you are swell enough to invite to a shindig.

The pile of depressing mail on the one hand or a finely printed invitation on the other, the choice seems easy to make. It is all paper, to be sure, but oh, what paper, especially if you happen to receive a letterpress correspondence. Not to be confused with a greeting card, a letterpress invitation or forget-me-not or save-the-date is a richly crafted affair.

For centuries, the letterpress has printed invitations for royalty, nobility and the wealthy. Deeply rooted in the history of modern printing, the press itself is relatively the same piece of machinery Gutenberg used almost 600 years ago. Now that it is the cutting edge of hip design, consumers are welcome to use computer-generated processes to let their imagination run wild.
