How to become a "Pro" Wedding Photographer!

STEP 0. Make a Business Card, make sure its canggih and artistic! matte lamination for the glossy powdery feel recommended or just make sure u look expensive!

STEP 1. Take any job so that u can become better in terms of skill and experience
STEP 1.1 Charge as high as possible , then drum it into ur clients telling them that the more expensive it is means it is better, and u are pro unlike those few hundred ringgit freelancers.
(its called Branding ppl)

STEP 2. Go learn from High Profile photographers and try to bodek them until they make u tor tai (student)

STEP 3. After that TAKE only assignments that will make ur picture look good. (i.e Only Hotel weddings, no restaurant stuff!, handsome couples) and move on to higher end stuff like corporate project and hotel stuff! to distinguish urself from "The Others"

STEP 4. if ur picture dun look "pro" never give to clients, even if that's the only picture they have, and if they call you or make any comments about where their pictures are , just remove them from all contact list and bar them on ur phone even if thier your RL fren!, cuz professionalism must to be maintained!


STEP 5. If your old clients tag u on FB on some of ur older works that u dun wan ur current HIGH profile clients to see. faster call them even if u already cut all ties/contacts with them and ask them to remove the tags.

STEP 6. DO NOT have things like flickr or multiply! just in case u accidentally upload non-pro pictures! have a website instead! and choose "pro" pictures to display only.

STEP 7. PRAY very hard to god everyday, so that u will NEVER EVER fall into bad times and need to take un-pro pictures again, cuz ur name in the "lower" circles has been tarnished beyond recognition.

Wah lah! photography 101!
