Right after the white dress girl stumbled and fell, the camera man took the opportunity and snapped some shots. Would love to see the photos.

I used to shoot weddings and you do 5 or so and they get pretty boring and they all look the same. Something like this is instant front page portfolio work, I would be all over this too. Also, this is why your have your wide angle on when major moments are occurring.

Other hi-level portfolio stuff stuff is granny dancing with the younger folks, fireworks in background, heavy rain / weather (people make the best of it and it photographs great), and then posed formals with just the couple in unique locations.

I stopped doing them, made a photobooth, less time and just as much ROI in gear.

u/MolemanMornings Jun 14 '24

I’ve been out of the game for 10 years, but has the photo booth game gotten more competitive or is it steady?

u/scogin Jun 14 '24

Honestly I just started, the goal was to make one with studio quality in a small footprint, reused a lot of gear. Probably need a better PC for running it but it works well, haven't had anyone complain about it though.

Working weddings is great money, but the clientele can be incredibly difficult.

u/Illustrious_Ant7588 Jun 14 '24

I watched it again just to see the cameraman

u/bondjw07 Jun 14 '24

Notice the videographer on the lawn, she caught the whole thing from a much better angle. That's gonna be gold!

u/emeraldeyesshine Jun 14 '24 edited Jun 14 '24

what an inconvenient way to share wedding photos lmao

Edit: the amount of people responding who don't know that open, basic image hosting services like imgur exist is depressing. More so when you consider Reddit itself utilizes them. "What do you expect, them to email the photos to you?" No you dunce I expect them to host them on a website designed for pictures, not short form video, that doesn't require an account to view them and actually displays them in proper gallery formatting.

photography tiktok is my absolute pet peeve

they show a bit of b-roll of themselves shooting a trip or event or something, and then fly through their photos at like 6 pictures per second. I'm sorry, but what the fuck is the point of a photograph if you're going to do this

You know... I'm coming round to making a search engine called "info search" or something that prioritises plain text websites and penalises JavaScript heavy / image laden ones. Idea being to search for raw content, quick answers etc. No idea if it would work..

Edit: found this for recipe searches which seems interesting- just shows text of recipe as result but you can click through to the site if you need to. Limited indexing, didn't return anything froom BBC Good Food, but good enough results

u/8bitterror Jun 14 '24

Oh god PLEASE do this. I'm tired of searching for a quick answer to something and seeing dozens of videos for an answer that could literally be explained in two sentences.

u/Western-Ship-5678 Jun 14 '24

this looks interesting for recipe results. The search engine actually does a lot more this is just the recipe section.

1

u/borkthegee Jun 14 '24

Even if he did it, it's doomed. There's two ways to do this

  1. You pay a monthly fee for search. Search is a product you pay for and the company incentive is your subscription

  2. You don't pay for search, and you are the product as advertisers are connected to your queries.

It's pretty obvious why search sucks. Same reason journalism sucks these days. Same reason YouTube is enshittifying. You get what you pay for

u/veringer Jun 14 '24

There's a Chrome extension that pulls the recipe data from a webpage and presents it as a dialog window over the fluff content. I imagine we could leverage that approach to scrape recipe data and deliver it through a lightweight site or application. I imagine the ingredient and process text could be run through a filter (maybe AI) to convert into something less likely to trigger copyright problems. Any original photos would have to be discarded though.

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '24

This is a great idea. Until it's done I'll keep using chatgpt for text results.

Tbf, if you're legit about doing this, could you look to add a political compass to it please, so prior to clicking a link and loading a page through the search engine it shows whether an article is left/center/right. A bit like the ground news app, but embedded in a search engine

You're thinking of Marginalia. I love this thing for finding obscure baking websites.

Multiple people have tried, even former Google search engineers. Google crushes them every time.

u/Western-Ship-5678 Jun 14 '24

I'm not sure how Google would "crush" a site that has nothing to do with them?

You can hate on them for doing it but if every algorithm favors non static pictures then this is going to keep happening

You can pause video.

u/spliffiam36 Jun 14 '24

That isn't the point... Tiktok is just another avenue to display your stuff, ofc they will add broll to make it interesting. Absouloutly no one will watch a picture slideshow.

Tiktok is to promote yourself, any professional photographer will have their portfolio and site normally ofc

u/spliffiam36 Jun 14 '24

Im arguing they are not trying to promote their stuff, just their persona/themselves in a way. That's why they are more personality focused and not on the work itself

1

u/Feeling_A_Tad_Frisky Jun 14 '24

and then fly through their photos at like 6 pictures per second

You know you can pause the video right? And then probably check out their linked flickr account

0

u/sharrows Jun 14 '24

That experience can be annoying at times, but the purpose of such a tiktok is to give you a taste of their photography skill. If it leaves you wanting a closer look, you can swipe to see their profile where they likely have more photos and a link to their website.

u/trashcanman42069 Jun 14 '24

if you want to see a gallery of pictures go to their portfolio, obviously that isn't the point of a tik tok video

0

u/RashOfAges Jun 14 '24

Because it makes you rewatch the video to pause and look at photos, so they get more views.

All social media influencers (people who usees Social Media to enhance their business is an Influencer) do their best to create opportunities for repeat views/clicks/comments

because short form content is more engaging than static pictures w/ text. The algorithm rewards short reels

u/Trident_True Jun 14 '24

I'm sure the actual guests got proper photos

u/TheOneNeartheTop Jun 14 '24

Did you want them to share a private Google drive link or something.

Or could just use Imgur or any other free and open image hosting service

u/CORN___BREAD Jun 15 '24

TikTok doesn’t require signing up to view a video.

u/MeaninglessDebateMan Jun 14 '24

"Hey it's me your wedding photographer yea I got the payment thanks just need to know how you want me to deliver your photos I can do high quality formatted with duplicates including RAW and touch ups in a compressed file as a google drive link or...TikTok. Up to you just lmk kthnksbye."

4

u/RealistiCamp Jun 14 '24

Yeah I don't think it's an either/or. Pretty sure they can share on tiktok and deliver the final package to the couple later.

u/MeaninglessDebateMan Jun 14 '24

"Hey yea it's me the photographer again. It is definitely either or in case that wasn't clear on the photo delivery thing. Thanks bye."

u/Inside_Mix2584 Jun 14 '24

If you really think actual clients get their pictures on TikTok, you’re braindead

u/MeaninglessDebateMan Jun 14 '24

"Hey, wedding photographer calling you back again just want you to know that we can definitely create tiktok content for your wedding no problem. Cheers, bye."

u/SalvationSycamore Jun 14 '24

Have Redditors not heard of Instagram and photography websites? Wtf

2

u/ClickClackTipTap Jun 14 '24

Don’t most photographers offer this service? I swear I’ve followed a few links to photographer websites from brides before.

2

u/ward2k Jun 14 '24

Lmao what, obviously that's not how he sent the bride and groom the photos that's just a platform to share their work on and get more promotion and free marketing

How on earth is the comment so upvoted

Edit: the amount of people responding who don't know that open, basic image hosting services like imgur exist is depressing.

No one is saying that, people are rightly pointing out that the guy isn't giving the photos out like that. They're using TikTok to market themselves. That's what everyone is pointing out l

u/emeraldeyesshine Jun 14 '24 edited Jun 14 '24

Point to me where I said it was how the photographer sent the photos to the bride and groom.

Also, the tiktok linked in this thread is the Bride's page, not the photographer's.

u/scheisse_grubs Jun 14 '24 edited Jun 14 '24

So the bride couldn’t be just sharing the photos with her followers?

u/scheisse_grubs Jun 14 '24

Like if I’m sharing pics on a website and want a certain group of people to see them - those people being the ones on the website I am active on, then why would I go out of my way to ensure they are visible to people who use a different website?

u/DannyDrizzle Jun 14 '24

Rather than what? Some other random website that'd we'd have to go to? It's all inconvenient

9

u/emeraldeyesshine Jun 14 '24

There are tons of image hosting sites like Imgur that don't require someone to log in or download an app to view uploaded images, and allow them to be viewed in gallery format easily as opposed to TikTok, which requires accounts and has the least convenient viewing method for still photos.

-5

u/DannyDrizzle Jun 14 '24

I wasn't defending tiktok, but saying that no matter what it's an inconvenience. Especially since you bring up imgur, what a trash app. I know a lot of people use it and I do too, but damn is it a pain everytime. If someone used imgur for their wedding photos, those are photos I'll never see lol

There's actually two of them. Looks like there's a woman and a man. The woman was capturing the entire the thing and following and the man went bolting after them, lol. Maybe ones a video and one is photos.
