Help! Need Photography Links For First Shoot Ever!

Usually I hire professional photographer for my shoots, but this time we've decided to do all the work ourselves.

then search the web, it's not like you're the first person to take up photography.

good luck!

aww, people aren't being very helpful are they? we just bought the beginner kit at alien bee and mandyblake's hubby was nice enough to send us a couple beginning photography books - if you do a GFY search for lighting you might find a few helpful threads. good luck!

The learning curve is a little higher than you think it is.

What you save in paying the photographer you waste in model fees because the product you shoot will be crap and unusable.

yeah, I'm a damn good videographer. Have been for 8 years. I just picked up the Nikon D70, and now I'm a pretty damn bad photographer. I'm learning, but damn.... it's so much harder then video.

I wish I could help ya, but I'm in the same boat (although I've been rowing it for a couple months now). Looking into strobes, since my video hotlights and the flash just aren't cutting it.

Where does one begin explaining what's taken 20 years of professional videography experience, 10 years of still photography and two years of college instruction - to learn?

No offense...and nothing personal of course - but you're better off hiring an experienced pro than attempting to take a 2-hour crash course online. To even ask is somewhat of an insult to those who have spent a great deal of time learning and perfecting their craft.

Yeah...I know - I'm an asshole ;-)

There's just no quick learning curve if you're anticipating good usable results.

This my friends....is the mutha' fuck'n gospel

Interesting thing is that there are a lot of program owners (and website owners) who think that doing quality photography is very easy to learn and has little to no value. Based on the daily rates that some of these guys have offered to pay me for my work - well, it's pretty funny really

If you shoot content and you have clients that appreciate what you do for them - take good care of them and keep them close. They are getting harder and harder to find!

Deciding to do it all yourselves to save some cash, or for whatever the reason, you're going to HAVE to learn...
A few tips here and there on GFY won't really be much help.

I've been shooting for 30 (yes THIRTY...) years, and it's it's become akin to breathing...I just know, and developed a creative style of shooting...you can't just "pick that up".

Get a camera, some lighting, and practice your ass off...even if you learn the lighting on a friend, a lamp, or whatever...or pay some of your girls to model - and get some sort of content out of it...

But, you're going to learn - the hard, expensive way - that guys like me, Dean C, Paul W, etc...are worth the bucks we get for shooting...
