I’m Trying to get in the business and I would like to work/help someone with experience.

Already had a few weddings/portrait sessions and willing to work at it full time.

I also offer myself for photoshop editing tasks.

Own car and totally flexible.

All offers welcome

I’ve you already done some wedding work why not try to go it alone and do it your self as a main photographer.
Look at getting your name out there by doing wedding fairs, getting an advert in an Irish wedding mag, maybe do a wedding photography workshop. Build your reputation.

Well, I got two weddings in ireland and they were done to friends. The problem is that I’m a bad businessman because I’m VERY shy. So not a good seller.

It takes all my nerves to expose myself to the public unless I have done it as a routine.

I guess I need practice. Also the style here is totally different than in Spain and I wish to get all the knowledge from an experienced Irish Pro.

Why not offer the Spanish style…do something different than the norm. Stand out from the crowd.

It is more about the “Spanish Behavior” treatment than about the pictures themselves.

I want to see how to behave in a more Irish or northern European style.

We Spanish tend to get a way confident with people and without knowing we pass the line sometimes.

I’ve been to training with Damian before, money well spent. If you have a choice between a new lens or this training, I’d say without a doubt the training is better value.

And if you have the choice between 2nd shooting a REAL wedding or spending € on a day workshop, save your money and shoot a real wedding, you’ll learn a lot more. Leave the workshop until you’re confident to shoot weddings first, then get creative! My opinion of course!

Thanks guys, I am eager to do almost everything.

I got the gear I wanted, a big improvement as I was shooting poor solutions and now I see a huge difference in keep rate and a much higher rate of excellent pictures.

My photoshop is 10 times more fluent, less evident and the WOW factor is there.

I’m ready to “kill” ;)

I could also do editing for someone with need.

Edit: Ohh! and I’m Apple Mac technician.
