yeah so i got that spain wedding job, ended up getting knocked down to 1000 oh well, all expenses are covered and I've only ever done 1 proper wedding before, which was for a friend so I can't really expect to be able to charge £££££
That's not a bad price honestly, will be fun and a portfolio builder which is what counts in the early stages (if you ever plan on doing more weddings that is)

Aww thanks for complimenting my work, I'll definitely teach you some stuff :)
wait, he said he was taking me?
I guess this question is for Dvorak but really anybody else that gets paid photography work regularly? Do you get nervous before the shoots and how do you get over it? I've got a conditional deal with a company that promotes all the restaurants and pubs in my county and if i get it i've scored myself at least six months worth of daily photography work so obviously its a pretty big deal and i'm nervous as fuck about it.
Don't be nervous bro, you got this. Just make good work that fits what they want.

Essentially driving around the county doing advertisement photography for restaurants and pubs then the photo's go on a website where you can search for a place in your local area, once i get the first one out of the way it should be fine its just a daunting prospect i guess.

Use a creative one at least (toward the middle of the frame), not just something in the bottom corner because they'll probably crop it out
