westernindAn email to all University staff rooted out the photos!
It would have helped if the wedding planner hadn't addressed them to 'Rosalind English'. A nice enough name, but it ain't mine.
[Edited to add: Nice to have them because there are some shots, e.g. the ceremony and signing the register, that we didn't already have. But in my opinion![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maleghast, nyarbaggytep and Chiara are all better photographers, and the photos I'll cherish come through their lenses. This doesn't bother me - I just find it amusing.]

Glad you like them so much :-) (and glad that the others turned up)

Now all I have to do is do this again and again and again until I can parley a career out of it...

While I think about it, I'm going to post an "anyone want prints?" sometime today and once I've given people a chance to respond... *wink*

Date: 2006-03-23 03:32 pm (UTC)In all seriousness, what I am thinking of doing is trying to position myself as a slightly cheaper alternative specialising in reportage style photography for events in general, including weddings, christenings, birthdays as well as corporate work. If I can manage to do that, I reckon I might be able to afford to live and pursue the notoriously profit-free world of fine-art / art photography with access to very high quality kit that I would normally use for "work" jobs.
I reckon we all need goals :-)
Re: ...
Date: 2006-03-23 03:41 pm (UTC)I want to (1) own the full set even though I don't have them as prints and (2) know that if I have a fire in 20 years I don't have to start tracking down my photographer in order to get new copies.
The only reason I was given this option in the end was that I knew the photographer in question, and she trusted us to give her the order for all our initial albums despite the fact that we have all the photo's on our computer.
I suggest that selling youself this way would give you a substantial edge over competitors, and provided your initial fee included initial albums the long term loss would be trivial.

Date: 2006-03-23 04:04 pm (UTC)My view would be that as long as someone pays for my time, then they can have the photos in digital format for a nominal fee (my time to convert and burn them + cost of media). I would assume that the reason they are paying for my time is that I would not retain the rights to the photos - if I did I could sell other people's wedding photos as stock art, and that does not seem right.
Yeah, I reckon there has to be a niche here - of course it will get a conspiracy of pro snappers wanting to kill me... *shrug*
