I’m sorry, but the photos are not good at all. Bad lighting, bad posing, tilted horizons, oversaturation, focus issues, lacking composition. Take the time to learn photography. For the life of me, I don’t understand why is it appropriate or acceptable to start a photography business before you’ve actually learned photography! I’m just curious- to the OP, what made you think that you should set up shop and take money from people before you’ve learned the basics?

If you have “I have started a photography business” and ” I am new to photography” in the same sentence, then yes, you are a fauxtog.

Was the bonus you received contingent upon how many dutch angle shots you could supply?

You are just silly to think that potential clients can’t find you here. All you have to do is click your avatar and you proudly display your link to your website. You strike me as someone who is young and foolish – and also has poor business sense. If you think your photography is art, it probably is. And people (clients) probably are happy with it (but, as you know, fauxtogs also have satisfied customers). But you are also in need of a huge amount of improvement (and hopefully you know this). Basically, the point I’m trying to make is this: your work is mediocre for a wedding photographer. You seem to have this attitude of “it’s art, and I’ll do what I want”. Have you ever been to 500px.com? There are world class wedding photographers’ work on this site that you should check out. And no, I’m not jealous. You can only be jealous of a person if they have something you want. I just see someone with potential that could be ruining her reputation as a photographer by having a pompous attitude and acting in poor taste on a public forum.

It seems as if you spend a good portion of your time online trying to “out” fauxtogs or trying to convince potential clients why they should pick you over them. Guess what, clients don’t care what camera gear you have or whether or not you have formal education. All they care about is the final product and the professionalism you can provide. So why not just let your photos speak for themselves? The type of people that have to be shown photos side by side in order to illustrate what a “quality” photo looks like as compared to a sub-par image are not the type of clients you should be aiming to attract.

Also, I might add- it’s not very smart to publicly display and point fingers at other photographers’ work while trying to run a business of your own (referring to other threads). Your name and reputation are tied to your profile on this site, and it may leave a negative impact later on. That, and it’s just kind of tacky and immature.

To be quite frank, these are pretty horrible. The composition is bad and the editing is worse. The skin tones are doing some really crazy things in the second photo in the neck area, for example.
