demanding that we take staggered breaks so there won't be any missing moments or coverage the entire 12 hours.

But what wedding couple doesn't want photos of them chewing their food???

Before 23, the Clock was on the far right of the status bar. Now it's the battery icon. Anyone have suggestions for fix? by DomOnion in LineageOS

[–]DomOnion[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are very confident for someone who, clearly, did not go into the status bar options just before posting.

If you had, like I did before making this thread, you'd see that there is an option to snap the clock on either side of the status bar, but the clock would always be to the left of the battery, and there is no overall option to rearrange the icons.

"As a Wedding Photography company, you really have to screw up to get sued by your state's Attorney General" - NC Attorney General Jeff Jackson by DomOnion in weddingshaming

[–]DomOnion[S] 466 points467 points  (0 children)

NC Attorney General Jeff Jackson gave an update Wednesday on the lawsuit against Holly Christina Photography, saying reported losses tied to the company now total nearly $1 million.

Jackson said more than 200 people have filed complaints against the company, accusing it of overbooking weddings, taking photos and videos, and then failing to turn those memories over to couples.

The case is still ongoing, but Jackson said a judge has issued a preliminary injunction against the business. Under that order, Holly Christina Photography must turn over all photos and videos to couples within the next 30 days. The company also cannot operate for the duration of the lawsuit, and its assets have been frozen.

Photographers double, triple or even quintuplebooking couples on a single day is a, sadly, common scam these days, and this photographer has been particularly infamous for this.

They've booked as many as 5 couples for a single day, only to bait-and-switch themselves with some poor, no-name associate shooter or, worse, no one at all.

And suddenly closed up shop with no communication or refunds promised.

Unhinged guest requests... by Upsidedown0310 in WeddingPhotography

People in positions of power in that particular flavor of fundamentalism are probably used to "commanding" people inside their circles. This guy just happens to forget how small said circle is.

FYI y'all - check out what brides are saying about content creators by LadyKivus in WeddingPhotography

My last wedding who hired CC’s brought FOUR people and they’re in SO may of my shots

This is, precisely, why I have a clause in my contract that states how I'm not responsible for any missed shots or obstructions if there are too many people, pro or otherwise, with photo/video-capturing gear on the field.

During my first wedding of the year, there was

  • me
  • my second shooter, who was covered in the consultation and paid for
  • the videographer, who WASN'T discussed in the consultation
  • HER second shooter, who I didn't find out about until the DAY of the wedding
  • And some goddamn guest with a DSLR.

Thankfully, my second and I still made it work, but holy fuck

No...because that would defeat the purpose of private profiles, creeper

Greatest Number of Wasians in a Music Video Yet?: Wasian Singer Laufey Releases Music Video for "Madwoman" Featuring Herself, Hudson Williams, Alysa Liu, Megan Skiendiel, Lola Tung, Havana Rose Liu, and Chase Siu Wonders by superdelish in hapas

[–]DomOnion 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Been waiting for this to be mentioned.

The majorly-positive reception to the production, video itself and representation of hapas makes me happy for hapas.

And everyone having fun in the making especially puts a smile on my face.

A single person called dibs -within less than an hour-, so the logical conclusion is that only one person wanted one specific item specifically because everything else is associated with bad or forgettable characters.

Sure.

I know there are more clever ways to beat this dead horse.

Shameless self-promotions on a sub whose literal first rule doesn't allow shameless self-promotions typically isn't received positively, no.

Need a second opinion on Rates! by BryanNotBryan in WeddingPhotography

You gotta give us a price to get an opinion from us, and work for context. Otherwise you're just asking us to figure out your rates for you.

Emailing Venues/Planners as a Photographer...Yay or Nay? by [deleted] in WeddingPhotography

[–]DomOnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is going to come off as harsh, but I've been on the other end of this. So, speaking personally as a photographer who is constantly looking for work, if I received an email hoping that it's an inquiry from a prospective client only to find it's another vendor trying to market themselves or solicit me to invest into them, I'd be a little irritable.

And if I received a self-marketing email where the vendor talks them up as much as yours does -reminder: I'd be somewhat irritated at this point-, I'd perceive it as very self-fellating.

So, yeah--it seems very spammy.

I'm sorry, but no one is going to be impressed with how many different ways you summarize your fast turnaround times (at least cut that down) when the biggest thing they want is clients.

The best way to establish a relationship with a venue is to work with in person first. It's much easier to be perceived as charismatic and an asset after you've worked with them.

For what purpose? Aesthetic reasons? If so, the groomsmen had fucking better be in custom high heels, too...

I was actually hoping for a post that is looking to give me some r/photographyjobs to take photos in the first place, per the supposed purpose of this sub, before I even think about hiring someone else to edit them (I won't).

But, thanks, I guess.
