bang bang | second shotted

marikris

I can't post the photos other then on my blog, but if you don't mind clicking, here's another wedding: http://blog.krisfulk.com/weddings/icing-on-top-houston-wedding-photography

CC is always appreciated, but I know it's a pain without numbers -_-

PS. For some reason, photo #2 is showing a different pic on the thumbnail.

marikris

I'll change it later tonight to take out the thumbnails and just post the photos like I normally do on the blog. That totally failed, didn't it.

Kris,

I can tell you 2nd shotted..haha..I ran into the same issue. Lots of good candid stuff of guests, very few straigth up shots of the bride and groom. Your processing..I kinda like it but not sure if it is very commercial.

marikris

Wait, you can't tell I'm channeling my inner Jeff Ascough? , jk - well I mean, yeah I try, but pj is really hard Anyway, the processing is experimental. Can you define "not very commercial" please? Do you mean not everyone will like it etc?

And thanks for responding Qarik Appreciate that!

Moogle Pepper

Yoooooo...

I like experimental work, but I am not a fan of the reds in the last couple images. I do, however, love the good time vibe I get from the shot of the dudes!

Moogle Pepper

... hmmm..

This one, you can do an Andy Warhol take on and it might be nice:

at least to me. haha!

marikris

Gotcha! Thanks, Moogle

PS. My inner Donna Newman failed too, then, . I'm glad I have the opportunity to try these things I might try the processing again with a more subtle hand in my next set.

For example..I never really appreciated grainy BW images until I got much more experienced with photography. Now I dig them. Your processing is bit edgy and I like them...but that is photographer side in me talking. Commercially it maybe too edgy for main stream which seems to side on airy, bright, vivid these days.

I am not saying there won't be folks who won't be thrilled with your style but it's a bit more artsy (for lack of better term) then typical is all.

I like the processing because it reminds me of old film pictures but it's definitely not a feel for everyone. It's really tugging my nostalgic heart-strings!

Thank you, guys, appreciate the comments. The reception hall was a very pink and orange-y place, so I just went with it and pushed it a little more. I liked the energy it had, and this wedding had a ton of energy.

Agnieszka, that is pure, unadulterated 135L goodness

Bang-Bang When do you wanna shoot first....


Seriously.....

My son may be close to getting super serious with his girl.

Get your portfolio together and Ill be sure they see it.

marikris

Thank you guys so much for the vote of confidence

Diva > I promised myself a year of second shooting. I think I'm at my 11 wedding mark, so hoping to do tons more this year!

Unfortunately, a lot of the ones I've done and will do this year are only allowed on my blog and can't use for my portfolio. Sucks for me, but at least I'm shooting.

jeffreaux2 > Yessir! Thanks - I will do that! It'll be a little thin ehehe.

Just point them whomever is interested to your blog instead.

marikris

I thought about that. But what do you guys think - will it lower my works' perceived value when they read the words "second shooter"? Will it make them want to contact me? I am still undecided about it.
