Look like the Videographer intentionally making the photographer look bad by sending the couple the edited shot whereby the photog is infront of his dv cam. Also those who like to shoot in photojournalist way. Pls gave only the good pics , few or more harmless snapshot as abv will make u look bad and noob. Those high end Atas photogs I knw of shoot in the range of few k of shot but gave only 200- 300 shots
Example to explain what cjng idea, "Pls gave only the good pics, few or more harmless snapshot as abv will make u look bad and noob." :whistle:

wow. the skill level of that photographer.. is beyond my understanding.

Do you know the affected couple?

Food for thought people tend to show case only the worst or compositionally challenging pic for critism.afaics I see only a few bad pics that the photog should really delete before delivering. How bad the photog is we will not knw until we saw the whole series
i agree.

yesterday my cousin who's working for a government body was just telling me that Singaporeans have a habit of demanding compensation for things that's not even the company's fault (she had to deal with many cases like that)

we haven't seen all the photos so we can't judge whether the photographer is this bad or not.

honestly, i attended a wedding a couple of weeks ago and there were people blocking the photographer or just knocking into him trying to get shots with their phones or cameras.

sometimes, the photographer isn't to blame, it's the people around.
Well, experienced event photographers will make it clear to the couple that no one is to interfere or cut in with his line of sight and to be given priority!
and there are people who don't care whether you're the event photographer or not.

i've had my share of experiences. and i know, that sometimes even if they know you're the event photographer, they won't give 2 hoots to block your line of sight or tell you to get lost so they can get the shot (or something else that they want)

@kei: at least you did your part to control the situation. best to set the ground right with the client's friends who are with cameras...

a good photographer should be able to make such a non-favourable situation into his advantage and still get decent or good pictures out of it.
