[QUOTE="Daz, post: 667176, member: 37228"] Whilst I agree that there are lots of people putting information out there, it is the task of the photographer to make sure they stand out in the crowd of mediocrity ... Look at any of the lower end photographers, they have 99% "natural light only shots" and not anything of the evening or using light, thats because they rely on natural light. Its all about marketing, When I did my one and only wedding fayre I purposely got a booth as close to the entrance as I could so that the couples see me first before wading through standard shots, I also made sure I showed the reception shots, the couple shots, the stuff that didnt rely on natural light and made the shots stand out to the clients, I took on 6 weddings from that day and the lowest was £1500 ... Most photographers these days dont realise they need to hats, the photography hat and the business hat, most of photography is marketing yourself and getting out there... Just like when DSLR took over from film, the dinosaurs that will not adapt will go out of business :) The reason I only did one wedding fayre is because at that time I moved across the country to pursue my full time job :) [/QUOTE]
