too god damn long, and i dont like wearing anything close to formal attire :russ: . 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 :dead:

i'm the same, if it ain't jeans and a t-shirt, i dont feel comfortable. let me be bummy in peace. but for $100-$150/hr, i can step outside my comfort zone a bit lol

but when u can get them same $$$ an hour or more in them t-shirts and jeans... weddings can kick rocks :russ: . typically you just wear all black like a polo and some black pants. that part isnt my main issue. weddings just long AF :snoop: . at least the traditional jawns where photogs getting 3k and up

Right now, no niche. Just trying to show my competency as a photographer to get work as a second shooter locally.
The wrestling photo is an excellent portfolio peice and looks like a sports photography shot it.

The other photos to me, don’t connect with anything that pays.

If I were you, I’d look for more events you can shoot at, mix it up can’t be all wrestling. If your not using flash yet, a couple freebie gigs you can learn to bounce flash in a low pressure environment

You about to charging $700 for 3 hours big dawg. You will be in spaces where you’ll want to put that shyt on.

Honestly, that’s why I stepped up to Rolex. Meeting prospective clients at events, they respect it when I give them the high price.
