Phanatic posted:When you hire a creative type to create a work-for-hire, you absolutely hold the copyright to what that person produced. When I produce an engineering drawing for my employer, the employer owns it, not me. It doesn't help that there are still a fair number of people who are too lazy to send off for prints from whatever online place is currently popular and insist that the photographer handle all of that poo poo. Which means you have to keep track of everything--get the details on what exactly they want, make sure nothing arrives damaged (and get it replaced if so), make sure you keep track of if they've paid in full so they can't skip out on finishing if you deliver digital files too, and keep track of sales tax and all related business reg/licensing bullshit. The time on that stuff adds up. Wasabi the J posted:What I'm getting at is that everyone would probably be a lot happier if they took themselves a little less seriously, photographers, newlyweds, and family alike. So I dropped that poo poo and got a 9-5 and can take things less seriously now I guess

ElGroucho posted:A lot of motherfuckers here think their i-camera makes them a photographer I poo poo you not I've been to several weddings where I saw some highschooler with a Canon T3i and a single kit lens as "the photographer." I always keep my camera with me and have no qualms about running and grabbing it and just snapping away during the ceremony/reception. 2 best Schadenfreude that resulted from this were: 1) I heard the "fauxtog" was being paid almost $2500 for the job. I gave my friend my pics for free as well as a very nicely bound album with the understanding that my name would be in no way attached to the work that was done. Apparently there was no contract so when it came time for her to get paid for her terrible work they told her to go gently caress herself. The hilarious part was that she had already 'invested' money she didn't have in the camera setup and travel and was banking on that money to pay for it all and her trip to Greece. 2) another expensive faux-tographer shot my wife's cousin's wedding. During the reception she came up to me to talk shop and asked, "Hey did you get any pics of the bridegroom kiss, father walking the bride down the aisle, cutting the cake, etc? It all happened so fast I didn't know it was coming." Within earshot of the bride. I just sat back and watched poo poo go nuclear. Yeah but this hasn't really affected the price

Wasabi the J posted:I had my friend shoot my wedding pictures and they uploaded the raws to Dropbox so we could rummage around at our leisure. poo poo this group showed up to a fairly high-end restaurant last night, I watched them pose in front of said restaurant while their camera-person blocked off the entire sidewalk to film them. Looked like a small wedding party bride groom and a few hangers-on It was awkward to watch, and then they went inside the restaurant with the camera person in tow, I can just imagine trying to maneuver this full sized camera inside a packed restaurant with other people trying to eat, while Jim and Jill gently caress-head try to record every angle of their dinner out Something like this

I've helped my girlfriend (a "professional" photographer in the sense that she's not big time enough yet to make it her full job) at weddings as a second shooter. I go around and get secondary angles of important things, as well as incidental shots like family arriving, dancing, whatever is going on that isn't the bride and groom. She sets the second camera up to be as idiot proof as can be and reminds me all the settings for focus and exposure. I have to move around while worrying about angles, lighting, whether I'm being too damned loud, and not run into a table behind me. That poo poo is god damned exhausting and I don't even have to worry about editing things for the next 2 months. At both weddings I've done this, at least one picture each that were her and the bride's favorites were ones that I took

I tried to talk my wedding photographer into a clause in the contract that, when he dies, or retires, I get the option to buy the copyrights to my wedding's photos from him or his estate, but he shot me down. I don't mind buying pictures from him, but if my house burns down in 20 years, if his kids don't want anything to do with photography, I still want to be able to replace my photos

The Something Awful Forums > Main > Post Your Favorite (or Request): Coldly Compiled Lists > Schadenfreude thread: just photography We hired my wife's aunt to do our wedding photography. She offered to do the work for a steep discount, and we were broke, so we took her up on the offer. Her work looked good from what we saw in her portfolio, but it turned out that her portfolio wasn't representative of 90% of her work and the rest of it (we found out later) was.... not bad, but amateurish at best. We also told her, "minimal posed/formal photos. As close to none as possible." We didn't want to be pulled away from our wedding for as long as it takes to do all of that bullshit, and we both hate posed photography. Neither of us like posing for them, and neither of us like how they look, for anyone, when all is said and done. The aunt said she could do candid photos... and then proceeded to pull us and our wedding party away from our reception to do posed photos for 45 loving minutes. At one point, she tried to have us do that dumb posed photo of the groom taking the garter off the bride's leg, but my wife wasn't wearing one so the photographer was basically just asking me to hike up my wife's dress and feel up her leg, on camera, for no reason. When I pointed that out, she said, "just pose like you're doing that," but I just walked. I thought my wife was going to drown her in the river next to where we were married. Luckily, we were saved by my wife's uncle on another side, and my brother-in-law. Both are professionals and showed up with their gear to do the same thing: they offered to get some photos and give them to us for free, as part of their gifts to us. Neither knew the other was going to do that, but they didn't step on each other's toes. I'm certain the aunt was pissed about it, but she can pound sand. They were unobtrusive, did great work, and basically donated thousand of dollars worth of professional photography to us as gifts. 90% of the photos we ended up keeping were from them. The moral of the story: 1) Don't be broke? 2) Don't hire Facebook Aunt to do your wedding photos (the actual person, not the Goon)

canyoneer posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Um-b4ppNoY Simon Amstell was the king of torturing flash in the pan celebrities, or people who just really shouldn't be famous. I'll never forget him innocently asking Jermaine Jackson if it was awkward raising his brothers kids after marrying his former sister-in-law. Then after letting it stew asking Jermaine "so has Michael ever done anything weird?". For anyone who's not familiar he was the host of a music panel show in the UK called Never Mind The Buzzcocks. The cast was made up of host and two teams of three with permanent team captains. Each week they'd have four guests (two per team) and play a variety of pop music quiz games. NMTB had a lot of one hit wonders or unknown indie artists on but also people like Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Lily Allen too. There were plenty of non-musical celebrities too like Jeremy Clarkson and Martin Freeman. This video is a series of clips from an episode where a guest called Preston walked off. Preston was a singer for a band called The Ordinary Boys but he was really known from his stint on Celebrity Big Brother where he met and married another Z-lister called Chantelle. One of Simon's favourite way's to wind people up was to read extract's from their biographies or in this case their wife's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHJgFJTEHLI e: He also used to be an interviewer for Popworld and used to give popstars the most awkward interviews ever. He once made Britney Spears cry when he asked her if she thought she'd gone a bit mad.

^^ That's a very pro-click video. I thought there was an episode of one of those British panel shows with one of the Spice Girls who would up walking off, and in later showings they kind of cut around her to remove her form the episode completely. Of course, I can't find any thing to back this up aside from an Australian talk show where Mel B (Scary Spice) walked off. I don't think that's what I was thinking of though.

That was the Big Fat Quiz Show, and she didn't leave, but she was absolutely insufferable and lacked any sense of awareness. It was worth the torture of her un-funniness to eventually have the entire cast team up to reply to her with spoken word lyrics from Wannabe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9iZCtlKMG0 There are edits of the episode with Mel B entirely cut out and it is astonishing how coherent every joke remains. She added nothing of import to the entire episode. Wasabi the J has a new favorite as of 13:49 on Aug 2, 2017 |

There's a lot of rumours about celebrities being annoyed afterwards because they didn't know what they were getting into or refusing to do the show because they'd get mocked too much. The latter is quite understandable to me I guess, Amstell's run was always going to end sooner rather than later because of his style and also he just wanted to do different things. The really stupid stuff was Jupitus and Fielding trashing him after he left for being too mean though Fielding later said he never made those comments. Jupitus was more than happy to make money on the show considering it had much higher ratings and won it's first awards during Amsterll's tenure. You can talk all you want about "I nearly walked" but you didn't and you waited until he was gone to publicly denounce him.

This can really gently caress things up for the actual photographer, mind you. If you're just wandering around effective taking B-roll of the guests and the place settings and things like that, go ahead, but if you're taking flash shots of the events he's getting paid to take photos of you're potentially screwing up a shot. I was at one where somehow my speedlight was tripping the optical trigger on the flash units he'd set over the dance floor. Use radio triggers, people. quote:1) I heard the "fauxtog" was being paid almost $2500 for the job.

If she was expecting to be paid a set amount of money for the work, there was a contract. Oral contracts are entirely valid and enforceable contracts, they're just difficult to verify. So congratulations for helping to screw someone on a deal, I guess. I'm amazed that guy on the ferry didn't die. Now his car's underwater, with a big honking boat on top of it.
