Killarney Oaks Wedding | Brenda and Eamon

I had a pleasure to meet Brenda while photographing Anne and Junior wedding a while back. I knew from that point her wedding was going to be a wonderful celebration and have a great family atmosphere – and it was.  Brenda & Eamon – beautiful, fun, caring, loving couple.  I have been waiting to photograph this wedding for quite a while and now I am sharing my favorites with pretty unusual beginning of the day.

Congratulations Brenda & Eamon!

Exposure doesn’t pay bills…

On several occasions I was asked to photograph certain projects or to document events where the compensation proposed was “Exposure”. I received another one today and as always I have explained that I am happy to take part in a creative collaborations or projects where everyone involved works for “free” and there is a certain goal. I am also happy to support Charity Organizations and give back to the community. But my water is boiling when I can straight see that someone is trying to rip off hard working photographers.

Exposure is great, photographers work needs to be seen to get more work, but… “Exposure doesn’t pay the bills!”
Have a look at the short movie I have seen on the blog of photographer and writer Enzo Dal Verme /reposted with permission/ below and think about it:
