I am a photographer in need of a photographer for my wedding. Being a photographer myself, it's really hard for me to want to use a traditional wedding photographer knowing how much I would get over charged. If someone could take pictures for a reasonable price, or maybe even swap services with me, let me know. Send a link to your work and let me know what you would do it for. If you are interested in swapping services, here's my site. www.timeslessshots.com.

It is sad when you are a photographer and you think you overcharge for your work. I think he needs to rethink his business. | | | |

Take one s out of the link and the joker is at timelessshots.com
With the number of out of focus shots, off exposures and poor compositions on the site it is clear that the poster is not a pro shooter. People like this fail to realize that owning a camera and having a website does not a pro shooter make.
Yes, if this person shot your wedding they would be overcharging, but then again they are not shooting pro quality work and probably do not know the difference.

why would they post in Houston if they are in Atlanta? That doesn't makes sense.

I have been seeing soooo many of these ads lately. "I am a photographer" ... "I don't want to pay." I can only assume all of these are not really professional photographers. They also want to edit all of their own pictures, which I have no problem with if they are a pro but they usually don't have a website and don't want to pay a decent price for the images. I think this is the new wave...

Interesting for sure. Check the prices on the website. Those prices seem really lowball.
