Random Irritations

[Slab]

Bit of an update.
Knock on the door and it’s the photographer with his daughter.
He has a bouquet for the wife and a bottle of whiskey for me.
Turns out he sent the same message to his niece and his daughter.
His daughter read it this morning and went straight to him and explained it was inappropriate.
He was mortified and came to apologise and explain what he wanted was a few friends and drinks and take some nice pics of the girls in nice dresses etc.
Maybe some more raunchy ones but nothing rude and it would be the girls choices what to wear and how much to show and we would all be invited as well.

All very innocent if a bit stupid on his part.

We had a chat and he is going to retire and do photography full time/as much as he can.

We discussed it and he thinks weddings and christening is the best route to take.

I didn’t have the heart to tell him he is rubbish.

So alls well now and Lucifer you can stand your man down

Glad his error of message has been cleared up
Doing weddings etc is a tough gig to crack, even more so since the world went digital. Long gone are the days you can just had over a few dozen pics in an album (I’m sure he’ll know this)

He mustn’t underestimate how many ppl book a photographer for those kind of days based more on personalities/behaviour/instantly building relationships. Lots of ppl can knock up decent pictures but lots would be unable to bond/communicate with 100 guests and in particular the couple

He might also consider corporate work for something a bit less time critical and a lot less emotional

The problem with weddings is that you only get one shot at it.
Get it wrong and the newly weds are disappointed for life as they can't be re-done.
Maybe suggest that he'd be better off photographing, for instance, pets.
Pet photography is quite a large market and a photo shoot can always be re-done on another day.

Yup, and most pets are happy to pose for glam shots

I'm sure there's a puppy joke in there somewhere
