The sad thing is that that guy is what the wedding business has become, and they are your financial competition. Needless to say, I'm not in the business anymore...

Dude, if you can't beat that guy...

So true...you're better off not attracting those kind of clients that want to pay prices for those kind of photog's. Your talent's not worth their cheap time.

I find it amusing that none of you can figure out the gender of the photographer! :)

That's because he/she is built like Bruce Vilanch, without the hair

I never question how photographers do anything. Sometimes the clients are the ones who make the suggestions. Who am I? But it is funny about the diffuser. I have to say, if it looks cool . . . .

He/she could also be what 95% of the member of this site are....an amateur with some flashy looking gear taking pics for family / friends as a favour.

I just found this site today: http://youarenotaphoto​grapher.com/ (external link)

maybe you should submit!

That is awesome! I wish they would post where the picture was provided from though. I mean...I have to admit, I have a lot of pictures that don't turn out great, but if they were on the photographers website that would be awesome!

No, and neither does anyone else. Could be an amateur like most of the people on this forum, shooting for free.

Also just because its on doesnt mean he was using it, could have just stuck it up there out of the way?
But it does look funny
