I applaud Kevin Weinstein for sharing his words and thoughts from a photographer’s perspective that encourage all of us in the wedding industry to remain “inspired”… and at the same time gently reminds us to honestly represent our work.

From Kevin’s point of view:

“Over the past 7 years, workshops have exploded among the “names” in the industry holding 1, 2, 3-day and even week-long retreats offering newbies a chance to define their craft while shooting fake weddings with Ford models at workshops around the globe.  I have watched many photographers put these images on their blogs and personal web pages as if they shot these images at a wedding event on a Saturday.  Why is this problematic?  First off , it is lying and misleading your potential client.  False advertising.  And it is misrepresenting your ability to make pictures under deadlines and real time.  A bride is going to expect this level of imagery from her wedding.”
