I Turned $900 Into $4500
dwfWhat would you say if a wedding planner approached you with a client who only wanted to spend $900 on their wedding photography?

Shhh.. Don't say it out loud there might be children present!

One enterprising DWFer went forward with the under-priced consult anyway and the end result? You'll just have to read the thread to find out.

Jasmin Star: Goddess or Satan?
dwfReally neither. But read the DWF Pro Business discussion about her latest webcast, and you’ll see a strongly-worded, sharply-divided, sometimes unruly discussion among hundreds of pro photographers.

Jasmine’s a rockstar in wedding photography. Is that a bad thing, or a good thing?

There Goes the Photography Gene Pool!
dwfAre we on the precipice? Are we staring down the barrel of a mass extinction event? Is it really the end of wedding photography as we know it? Read our article "Dilution of the Photography Gene Pool" and share your thoughts on the "End of Days"!

Also on the DWF Blog this week: Say no to side light, how to soft sell yourself, Lightroom 3.2 and Australian photographer protest photographer permits.

Sandy Puc's Six Month Old Shootout
dwfDWF Pro Sandy Puc has a thrown down the gauntlet: She wants to know, “How many ways can you photograph a 6 month old?

Think about it. A six month old can barely sit up, cannot walk and is not mobile at all. Can you create an amazing, absolutely breathtaking image of a 6 month old? Can it even be done?” DWFers are posting their best pics of these difficult to catch little darlings, or devils, depending on the day. And share how they catch their tiny subjects without tearing their hair out.

KISS: Bounce Flash
dwfTake away all your bells and whistles and any reasonable amount of set up time, and you find out what kind of photographer you really are.

DWF Pro Steph Zettl posts some images proving that knowing your on camera flash and a little about angles can help you ‘survive any situation.’ As expected, other DWFers join in with dozens of great examples of controlling on camera flash and explain how they got the shot.

Two Takes on Pinup
dwfWhen it comes to Pinup, we’ll take two, please. Two totally contrasting styles, points of view and amazing talents.

First, Roberto Alvarado’s latest subject can’t even pronounce her own name, (she made it up) but who’s thinking about names when it comes to a Alvarado pinup?

Then check out the Pinup Calendar Mike Long shot for his model’s boyfriend who is about to ship off to Iraq. You even get a peek at the Animoto he did for the sales presentation. Great work from two great artists, if you’re thinking about pinup, watch and learn from these amazing DWF Pinup Pros.
