So you want to be a Wedding Photographer

We get a lot of enquiries from people wanting to get involved in wedding photography, the majority of which we dont even consider. For us to even consider a request we straight away look at the following,

The first question we will ask is are you prepared to sign a non-disclosure and non-compete agreement. If the answer is no, its thanks but no thanks straight away. Why you ask, well for a couple of reasons.
One, we dont want to spend time and expense giving someone the exposure and training for them just to turn around and directly compete with us at the first opportunity they get. So this is the non-compete part of the agreement, we have built in an out clause and /or time period that someone cant directly compete against us.
Two is the non-disclosure part, as we are training someone its very difficult not to share critical information that they can use to compete against us, obviously we cant and dont want people using information they have gathered being used to compete against us in any manner. This also protects our clients information for unauthorised release/usage.

The second question we will ask is what equipment you are currently using. The reason we ask this is it will give us an indication of how serious the person is about photography and whether they have equipment which will provide a quality level that we would be happy to provide our customers. We might also ask some questions around how the camera is used, depending on which modes people use regularly will tell us whether they have potential to be a wedding photographer.

Bottom line is we shouldnt have to be teaching some how to use their camera, the idea is that we would be teaching someone about weddings not photography, and more importantly we generally look for people who are happy to work for us, not using us to get involved and compete against us.

Around the end of september we will probably be looking for people so if you know anyone who maybe interested let us know through our website http://www.ctrphotos.com/

Fisheye Lens

Well despite posting in various locations about Nikon Australia or any Adelaide Camera Retailers providing some sponsorship in the form of a 10.5mm Fisheye lens, no-one came to the party and after some debate purchased it myself.

What a fun lens to use. In the studio I've been experimenting with some up close portraits which create some really humourous caricture type photos.

I've had three weddings to do since the purchase and have used the lens on all three. Took some amazing photos inside St Laurences Catholic Church and by the Adelaide University footbridge, a couple of nice ones at semaphore near the lighthouse and some excellent photos at Camelot castle. I will post some here as soon as I can.

Don't worry about the distortion on this lens, if used intentionally and appropriately you can get some amazing results. As for correcting the distortion in software so far I would have to say I am unimpressed with the result from Capture NX, you will lose a lot of the image and end up with horrible blurring on the edges of the image. I'm yet to try the well regarded Fisheye Hemi or experiment with distortion controls in Photoshop, but at the end of the day you would probably be better off using a 12-24mm or similar if your looking for wide angle with minimal distortion.
