Essential The Official Photography Thread

Love my 24-70 2.8's. I've had several over the years and they've all been superb and worth their weight in gold. What that being said, I'd gladly ditch my current RF in favor of a <24-55mm with a fixed 2.8 aperture or lower that matched its image quality (and hopefully came in a more compact package).

Have you messed with the 28-70 f2?

Have you messed with the 28-70 f2?

No. It looks amazing but waaaay too big for being a general purpose lens for me. 28 is a little too narrow for a general purpose lens as well imo. Love my 28 pancake tho.

Right now, no niche. Just trying to show my competency as a photographer to get work as a second shooter locally.

Ok, so i'd suggest shooting a bunch of stuff with people in it. in my experience, a lot of photographers arent really photographers, but business people with cameras. so they will look at your creative shots and think you ass . Go to local free events and shoot the shyt like you're working it. add those type of shots to your portfolio along with the creative/street stuff. dont sleep on the street stuff, i've def got hired to shoot things, cuz somebody liked my street photos.

just so that u dont think i'm talking out my ass, i shoot corporate events, and have 2nd shot for weddings (hate weddings )

I can imagine behind primary for a wedding being stressful as fukk, but you hate shooting weddings even as a 2nd? why is it so bad?

too god damn long, and i dont like wearing anything close to formal attire . but weddings are just too damn long a lot of times. my cousin shoots weddings, he was the main shooter, traditional wedding type shyt. Brides are annoying AF 80% of the time
