    Cheap photographers only kill themselves, not the industry

    expro, Just look at your own bloody answer, you are one crude poster who cannot even defend your own point of view or probably don't even know what yourself are talking about. I just ask a simple question about how you can compare a product sale business (clothing business in you case) vs more...

    what nonsense you are talking about. If you cannot even give a proper analogy or explanation to my question stop being cocky. It's like comparing apple to orange.

    Let's not bring FT into this discussion as it will open another can of worms.

    Cheap photographers only kill themselves, not the industry

    I agree with you that they must be doing something right if they can still profit from the business and something we can learn. Hopefully, it's not the case of miscalculated cost of operation. I don't think the discussion here is about degrading budget photographer, but hopefully to educate...

    Cheap photographers only kill themselves, not the industry

    Puzzle me and mind if you care to enlighten me on what the logic behind this comparison of selling goods vs services as you have mentioned here?

    So, you think it's good to join them to set the new low?? As you know there are many China replicas ripping off the original at a fraction of the cost, isn't that killing the industry. Probably same as the photography industry...

    Daniel Wee, While it's true, readily available and more affordable technology has lowered the entry barrier for almost every business, it's the people behind the technology that drive the market. Technology is just another tool and in a way, to help people increase productivity and hopefully...

    Cheap photographers only kill themselves, not the industry

    I don't agree to this statement, if this is the truth then not only photography business will die but even the job of news editor and journalist will be gone since we have better computer for editing. Fortunately, it the person behind the machine that create the miracle and this not about to...

    Cheap photographers only kill themselves, not the industry

    Actually I do agree with some of the points, different range for different targeted audience. Probably because of the negative impact of 'price war' that have affected the company that I work for and eventually to my wallet, I really detest those who are there to test water and resorted to...

    I agree :) Unfortunately, many people pay for grade C stuff but demand Grade A quality so Grade C supplier must up their profit to crater for any extra demand at time of need.

    Cheap photographers only kill themselves, not the industry

    My aunt got married last year and my advice to her is to look for a proper wedding photographer and she can actually afford it. One of my uncle who is passionate about photography and own a very good dslr happened to offer his service for free and well, she took it for granted he will do a good...

    Is it wrong to ask to view a photographer's portfolio?

    I wondered what did TS done to get this. No matter which pretty xmm he has taken, surely by contacting the TS, he has shown interest in her look one way or another. Just a thought, if he can spend the effort to write to ask for TFCD, what's stopping him from clarifying his own reputation...

    D3s coming this Friday

    Isn't this a kind of indirect way of forcing people to let you know the price? By the way, who is "alot of us"? Do speak only for yourself in the forum to get credibility. When the time for the price to be out, it will be out. No point getting so kan cheong. I do agree with Lumiere...
