I need an outstanding portfolio for when i finish my A-level in photography for when i apply to be a trainee photographer in venture studios
ive thought of things like objects, products, flowers, portrait, food, drink e.t.c is there anything missing that you think is important to include?

I am a novice photographer (around 1 1/2-2 years) and have been slowly teaching myself about it. I have just upgraded cameras and am in the market for a program to edit photos. I’m looking to only change images in ways I could in a darkroom( I’ve never worked with film, digital already had 35mm beat when I got in). I realize that with some of the features present in photoshop, it may be more than I need. Any photographers out there that can offer some advice. If it makes a difference I can get photoshop very cheap with academic discounts. My current computer is a Macbook Pro 17in screen so I don’t think I’ll have trouble running any programs.

I have a Nikon D50 with a 28-80 lens. I never got the wide angle lens. I’m trying to decide between a faster lens or a flash and flash bracket. Here are the two lenses I am looking at right now. http://www.wolfcamera.com/product/253091…http://www.wolfcamera.com/product/255111…
The first one has a maximum aperture of 2.8 at all focal ranges. I don’t know if the second one does.
So one of these lenses or a flash and flash bracket to use with my 28-80? I’m on a tight budget or else I’d buy both!

I paid my wedding photographer $1000 to take our wedding pictures and make an album for us. It took him until 3.5 months after the wedding to get the pictures to us, but he sent the pictures and mats loose in a box along with the album, and told us to put the album together ourselves. The pictures REEKED of smoke (like a mixture of cigarette smoke and just smoke smoke). They have been sitting on my counter airing out for a week now and they still smell bad.
I emailed the photographer and told him how upset I was, and he was very apologetic. He offered to make things right for us and even refund us for the shipping. The album he gave us was poor quality and ugly to boot, so we told him we’re just going to have someone else put an album together for us.
He offered to put the album together for us (I guess the last few brides he delt with long-distance wanted to put their albums together themselves, so he assumed I’d want to to), and was very apologetic.
I had been waiting to tip him until I received the finished product, but now I just don’t know. I’m stuck with loose pictures that reek and no album, but the pictures themselves are lovely. I feel bad for him because he seemed genuinely sorry for the mishap.
Should I tip him or not? If so, how much????

I am planning on making a documentary..this is my first effort and I don’t have tons to spend…what kind of camera should I look into that has sound and picture in which the quality of the end product would be good enough for television? I am an artist, not a technician or a photographer….
