Hello
I am new to this forum and part of the reason I have joined, apart for general discussions is to see if there are any budding photographers out there who would like to make a bit of extra money by photographing an event for a good friend of mine. The event is taking place in Stevenage on July 28th and is a Silver Wedding Anniversary party and dinner. He wants someone to take photos at the event and then set up a laptop to show the images so both he and the other guests can buy them. He is willing to pay up to £50 for the photographing itself and obviously will buy a large number of prints himself as I am sure will his guests. If anyone out there is interested please let me know. Many thanks and look forward to talking to you all

Call me curmudgeonly if you like, but as a poor and struggling photographer, would it not be better to look in the local yellow pages for a photographer to do the business. Do you want a decent job doing or something on the cheap that could end up in disaster?

sorry may be missing the point here.
I agree with stephen, you could have disaster on your hands. And if you are the one doing the introduction:eek:
But if You have joined a photographers forum, does that mean you are a photographer, if so why are you not doing the function?

I am not in the country for the event so cannot so it myself. I take on board what you guys are saying, guess I hadn't thought of the pitfalls. Thanks :-)

Call me curmudgeonly if you like,
Thesaurus:
curmudgeonly - brusque and surly and forbidding; "crusty remarks"; "a crusty old man"; "his curmudgeonly temper"; "gruff manner"; "a gruff reply"
gruff, ill-humored, ill-humoured, crusty, ill-natured - having an irritable and unpleasant disposition; "an ill-natured disagreeable old man"
I just had to look that one up... *LOL

Stephen, AKA 'Crusty' *LOL
Now - in all seriousness - Stephen makes a very fair point. Trusting a non-professional to take on the responsibility of an important shoot, especially one you don't really know, is taking a big risk.
But of course there are some pros here that might be in striking distance of Stevenage that might like to take on the job commercially.
