Hi all,
it has been a long time I haven't posted here.... apologies...I barely touched my camera or pictures in the last months.
this weekend was my first experience as a professional (getting $$$$ for it) wedding photographer.
That was a friend who likes my work who insisted I shoot his wedding, he even covered all the expenses of my trip from Beyrouth to Paris...
For the equipment and technique, that was a no problem, but a wedding that's at least 2000 pics, so better have plenty of CF cards and batteries, when you are THE photographer, you have to shoot almost everything.
Shooting when you are paid for doing it,is not fun, you have responsibilities, you should be always there to shoot sometimes noninteresting things for you but which are important to the couple.
looking at the pictures I am satisfied with my work, but for the first time I felt fed up of photography...
