Dear budding professional photographer of the future,
We are looking for free photography work. We will be getting remarried onboard the tall ship, The Spirit of Dana Point. Our son, Captain Arturo will be performing the marriage. We are limited to 55 total onboard. You would be one of the 55.
Here is what I'm offering: a free ride and sail on the tall ship, weather permitting, wedding photography practice, you get full credit in my Facebook postings.
Here is what I'm asking for: pictures of the environment, all guests and of course the couple at the various significant stages of the ceremony, your time and NEF copies of your shots from the SD disk to my laptop. We ask that you dress nicely for the wedding and most significantly, you would not be paid.
If this is agreeable to you please private message me here and I'll give you my contact information.
Date/time:
November 7th is a Friday @1pm-5pm more or less
I'll do it.
You must provide transportation and food.
Bob in Myrtle Beach

but!! on the other hand if someone is trying to make a name for himself!!
Photograph your remarriage ceremony, dress nicely, work for 4 hours, give you NEF files and all for credit on your FB page and a FREE boat ride, during which photographer is working constantly. Amazing Offer. Amazing Nerve.
RrayRob,
Yes, I've been accused of thinking outside the box quite often and yet, I've had some amazing offers.
I hope you are not offended. lol

Whatever it is you do for a living, will you come work for me for free?
You would leave yourself open to such possibilities? What if I were a former porn star as a Top, in gay videos? Would that offer still be offered? lmao

All to typical of the attitude toward photographers. "Free" seems to be the mantra of those hiding behind the veil of "making a name for yourself".
Maybe Captain Arturo can double as the officiant and photographer. He will already be there and he will be properly dressed. I would assume he is performing his services for free as well, along with the crew of the ship?
SLA,
Captain Arturo is my son. We will be paying for the ceremony because he doesn't own the ship. I am NOT hiding behind any veils. My request says upfront I want it done for free. I repeat that near the end of the request.
To tell you the truth, I was happily surprised by the offers I've gotten. I realize some of you feel I am doing a terrible thing, you may be right. I am not concerned with your feelings. Go find somebody else to bother... lol
