Lately, I've been seeing a lot of bad photos floating around. I mean really bad. Criminally bad. Photos that were clearly taken by someone who has no understanding of light. Photos with unflattering shadows on people's faces. Photos that look terrible but could have been fixed slightly with some post-processing. Photos taken by people who were paid that shouldn't have been. I truly feel bad for whoever paid these people who are passing themselves off as "professionals." I'm sure the photographer charged some ridiculously low fee, so the person isn't out that much money, but wasted money is wasted money. Not to mention that whoever paid them felt that the occasion was special enough that a photographer was needed, now the only photos they have to remember the occasion are poor quality photos taken by someone who shouldn't have been taking them. I can't help but look at a lot of these photos and wonder if whoever hired them even bothered to look at their previous work. If you're going to spend the money on a photographer, you might as well spend more and hire someone who actually knows what they're doing.
