Yes my friends are the “My First Wedding” Disaster, I am mean photoshoot. They are a funny couple with a really cute little girl, but the photos from the wedding are shit.
I found another HORRIBLE fauxtographer from my FB feed this week. Somebody posted a link to them, so I thought I should share.

She posts most of her pictures on FB in a lower resolution, which I think she rips from her Smugmug account here:

First off, I have to say I can’t stand her watermark and name. “Reflections of Angels Eyes’ Photography” is ridiculously long, and makes for a God awful ugly watermark to smear right across the middle of your photo. It totally distracts from your photo, but that of course assumes you would want to see it. Which in this case, you will not want to. Here are a few choice selections:
I wish that kid had gotten out of the shot. He’s really blocking my view of that gorgeous red barn behind him.
He’s still in the shot, and now he’s making it all blurry.
He wants to touch the barn as much as I do. I think. Its so blurry its hard to tell.
WTF is this effect on the sides?? She like squeezed it in the middle. Thank God for that and the vignette to distract me from the lady with her closed eyes and hair all in her face.
She has horrible focus issues, but yet continues to post this shit online like people will enjoy it anyways.

Obviously pop-ip flash with that horrible shadow on the wall behind her. Awesome.

“Unfocused Photography” would be a better name judging by her shots.

WTH is this?

Nice focus on the trees a quarter mile behind them. Glad this still got posted.

Most awkward pose ever.

I think you have something on the back of your dress there.

Artistically unfocused shooting again?
First shot of the set is a girl so out of focus I can barely make out WTH she is.
Rest of the set is crap, with constant shots being posted that are focused on objects way behind the subject. That does not instill confidence.
Everybody loves shots where the subject is squinting straight into the sun.
Looks like she finally found a way to at least get one subject in focus.
From her FB page, I love her camera choices. A little Nikon and a little Canon? WTF. Lets get the crappiest gear from both sides instead of choosing one and investing in, I dunno maybe a $100 prime lens or a used flash? Nah, cheapest body and kit lens from both. Almost totally uninterchangeable.
Now obviously she has not been doing this long. Looks like she posted her first picture about 4 months ago. But, scoping out the About on her FB page I found this gem:
Tiffany started taking pictures just for the fun of it and found that she loved it. So she enrolled at the New York Photography Institute and completed their photography courses. When you come to Reflections of Angel Eyes Photography you will not have to worry about the high cost of photos. Tiffany prides herself on keeping her sessions very affordable but with high quality images. There is no session that will be to big or to small.
Ugh, really? You took and completed the courses at NYPI and you still take photos that are more out of focus than shots my 6 year old takes? Get the hell outta here. If this was just a MWAC popping photos for fun, I could forgive this. But this lady is putting herself out there as a professional photographer when most of her shots are blurry shit. Learn how to use your camera and then maybe expect to get paid for your work. She even booked a wedding according to her FB page earlier this month. God help whatever poor bride gets the shots afterwards and find 1/2 of them are totally out of focus.
