Yes
did a portrait shoot yesterday as assistant to my wife (the photographer). one of the family we were shooting said
"you dont look like a photographer " to me
(i,m not, i,m the assistant , or was yesterday anyway).

so what does a photographer look like then?:thinking:
admittedly , i,m 5 10 , 15 stone and have a big goatee beard that would look at home on a hells angel, earrings and tattoo,s (which were hidden under the shirt). but i was smartly dressed.
it just struck me as an odd statement.
 
Did your jeans have a crease neatly ironed down the front? Maybe you left your polyester anorak at home!

I never leave home without mine:naughty:
 
:lol: jeans

if you were wearing a suit . having had a clean shave " goatee accepted"
with nice shiny shoes and a camera around your neck..
you would have looked like a pro to me..

impressions are everything imho

hmmmm, I mostly wear jeans or at least never "office" type trousers. I shave when I feel like it but never because I feel I should. Sometimes I'll put on a shirt but it will never be tucked in and NEVER NEVER NEVER with a tie.

People hire me for my creative talent, not to do the books. ;):D
 
:thumbs:im sure you are very good ..
infact i know you are ..
all im saying is joe bloggs would expect the tog to look like a profressional with all the dangle bits..

as i said IMHO people like to see the works


" give a pro a 300d and 18-55 lens and a family member a 1dmk 3 and a 24-105 lens and ask someone to choose the pro"

you work it out

md:thumbs:
 
i see what your saying dave but to try and descibe a tog

imho
i've stated my thoughts..

:razz:

There are those that misunderstand my choices.

I used to live behind everything in black, white or mutted tones but these days, colour and impact is where it's at. :D

But I find that sometimes a man can look quite attractive in a pink shirt. :love:

marky h. thankyou. :lol::lol::lol:
i think DD has it about right.brown suited volvo driving anorac.years ago when we used to go to a camera club , there were lots like that. realy didnt like it cos a girlie came along.when she got quals, they realy got upset.:cuckoo:
yet when we shoot a wedding together, people assume i,m the tog, when infact my wife is.we evn wear badges with "photographer " and "munchkin " on them.:)
at weddings , i wear a suit (no tie usualy).
the portrait shoot was smart jeans smart shirt and saudeish (sp)boots, a bit like boxing boots. she was wearing smart trousers and a black t shirt with the company logo on it.

my missus wont let me wear a pink shirt.:'(
