    What do you think about being a Budget photographer?

    Anyone noticed that the event has a photobooth? Perhaps they have already paid high for the photobooth which they think is more important and skimp on the event photography itself?

    What is the liability of the PG/VG for data corruption / missing footage & pictures?

    OUCH! Since the company/guys have been doing this since 2003, there should be a workflow or a system of backups and retrievals Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) that needs to be followed unlike the newbies. If they didn't do that, then it's rather difficult to have damage control then...

    How do you all do it?

    It's only a matter of attitude towards work. Take it with stride and do your job if you are the paid photographer. The "nuisance" will always be there and when one notices a certain professionalism in the way you shoot, (which I call "charisma") most of the other photographers will give way...

    How much do you charge ?

    Hahaha LOL! Wondering how can a photographer call himself semi-pro and yet still a virgin? At our studio, 10-15 wedding projects as an assistant or second photographer is the minimum to consider whether their portfolio qualifies them to be a junior photographer. :sweat:

    How important is a web presence to a commercial photographer?

    All I can say is the web presence does help a lot for clients to scrutinise your work before they will even commit to give you a call, let alone giving you the order.

    Penang -- any advice?

    Can get a cab to take you places for 1 whole day. Prices varies according to driver though. Should be in the region of RM100-RM180. They will be able to show you the local specialties as well.

    4R printer service for On the spot printing

    I'm having Selphy 400 and the Selphy 730. The selphy 400 is about 10 seconds slower than 730 series. Technically, the newer models will have better and faster print rate.
