photographers rip off or not ? on the Peoria.com Forums - Page 4

@stayathomemommy:
Not at all. He thinks I am completely wrong as well.

@diezelmom303:

you said you wanted to pay 50 cents for it, did I get that right?

@diezelmom303:

And my answer wasn't meant to belittle you. My answer was stating you get what you pay for and I would do my research before forking out any money to any photographer. If $50 seems pricey, then research other options within your price range or wait until you have the money.

@PeoriaIllinoisan:

it almost makes me want to buy a camera... Almost.

You could go out and buy a camera. Whatcha gonna create with it?

Just like going out and buying a guitar. You either make noise with it like anyone can... or you make music..

@Kevster:

*capture with it.

@AV8R:

No ****! But it won't happen because then he'd have to eat some serious crow!

I think the annual pdc photo competition could prove some interesting results!

That picture of those two babies is PERFECT! The babies are quite beautiful, too!

littlesister i wasnt aiming that you . please dont think i was .

i also asked if anyone knows of lacy tabor from peoria and has seen her work ? she is NOT the person im talking about .
she is 1 im going w this fall for family pics . just curious if any one has worked w her ?

She can charge whatever she wants for her CD. It's all up to her and how she runs her business. If you're happy with her portfolio then you're going to pay her prices. If you're just nitpicking about her prices without having seen her portfolio then you shouldn't bad mouth her.

It's sad to me that you think you should only pay 50 cents for a CD of copyrighted photos. You obviously have no idea what it takes to process photos from a shoot. It takes me about 4 hours per one hour of shooting time to go through each pic and tweak it, sometimes longer. Now imagine how many more hours it takes wedding photographers to go through 4-6 hours of shooting? You're talking about hundreds of pictures here if not thousands. Each one gets looked at. This is time spent away from family and from other shoots. It takes an investment in good editing software, too. Now add up those 4-6 of photo taking plus 20+ hours of processing time plus the time it took beforehand to meet and greet the bride and groom and get an idea of what they wanted. Throw in the engagement shoot, too, plus the processing time for that, don't forget...

It always kills me when someone says photographers are over priced. You have no idea how many hours and money I've invested in training, schooling and equipment to get to where im currently at--and ive still got a ways to go. If you had the same amount of time and money into your business as I do, you wouldn't be charging minimum wage either.

I bet @Chef Kevin, wouldn't cook a meal for my family for 50 cents--not with all his years of experience and training. But I Hera @Pock is fairly cheap. @Pock, why don't you come over and fix my computer for free--or do whatever it is you do for free? Or better yet, set it all up so that I can do it myself but you can stand there next to me and guide me for free while I use your equipment. Yeah, that's it. Lol!

And yes, there's a huge difference between creating photos and taking snapshots, @Pock.

once again i NEVER said 50 cents . please go back and look it was some one else who said it . im sorry for the most of this that every one lost or missed my question . i think it needs to be closed discussion .

this si what i said


nope she is charging 50$ for xtra cd with printing rights . its at the bottom of the page . i too was in shock and said nope that cant be 50$ has to be 50 cents .

@1ITGuy:

he is the 1 who asked if it was for sure 50$ .
