Quality or Pricing?

[wsyrinrin 0]

not offend anyone..

but...i personally dont agree with the "cheap things no good" rules.. not everyone is able to afford the so called EXPENSIVE PG but yet they still need a good and professional PG for their once in a life time wedding. why must make professional PG/vg so unaffordable/unapproachable for people?

i think the interpretation of "cheap" varies to everyone, no specific barrier for that. some people say why use "cheap" photographer for ur wedding? but how well u know what "cheap" means to them? if u are willing to spend 10k then u would say 3k is "cheap" la, but have you ever thought of those only have 2k budget? how? i would rather say dont think of "cheap", but think of the quality u can get within ur budget/affordability

(some very "expensive" and so called professional also tend to sell high la..sent emails also no reply..)

if everyone says "cheap things no good" then will make the lots of PG/ VG raise their charges, which i think is VERY UNHEALTHY to the wedding industry itself and also the customers. (ie steal other PG's work and claim it's their work then charge customers sky high..)

After all my research b4 my AD all PG can shown quality work simply RM3k & above for morning ceremony + dinner ....

agreed with panda.

Cheap things does not mean 'bad', expensive things does not mean 'good'.

I've gone through few photog profile, to me, I think some so call 'expensive' photog quality is not much different from those 'cheap' photog quality.

Is so important for the couple to like their photog's style..... if they like it, they'll feel worth of paying it.

That's why I said, set your budget first, find the best in the price range... of coz if u set ur budget too low, u dun expect a output from a 10k's photog.

Agree with Panda, "cheap" and "beauty" very subjective one, depend on individual, as long as the couple happy, why not?

you get what you pay for. If you can accept Proton quality for the money...then good for you then.

When we talk about pricing and quality in terms of looking a service, the best strategy is like this: Go for the best quality and haggle down the price to your satisfaction. If you don't succeed, go for the next best quality and do the same for the pricing. Keep on doing that until you reach the best meeting point between price and quality.

A sample case study, why a photographer can offer more than standard price ( I set it on Rm1500 /day of wedding day photography ) his jobs no quality? this i do not know but what i know is for sure he can still get the job with the price set, for sure his reputation quite well , then only people come to him. If i cannot sell with the price i set is my job no quality ? I also dunno , but for sure is I lack of customer, i need money, i not well know yet. so i will set the price lower and lower until my price is acceptable by other, i can get the job . Is that quality so hard to measure ? yes, is depend of various people, various of oppinion and the majority will become the true site.

Most importance for the price and picture suite you. Every person got difference thinkking of what things you willing to spend. some thinkking wedding is one in life time RM 5k, 10k no problem... so what would you think? better spend to travel honey moon? or save for the house used? a car? a toy? children? so do it with what you affortable and you like.

I agree with Derek. If you like their style, then you like their style la. Then ask for the price, if budget suits you and style is what you want. Get it la what so difficult?

Style and quality is two different issue. What is quality? A photographer can use a RM20k camera and kit to come to your wedding. That means your picture all go quality?

Which raises the point of interest, if equipment is the measure to how your wedding pictures would turn out, perhaps the understanding of photography is a little shallow.

I think it is unlike a car, ferrari can go faster than a proton. That is because it has more power. A more expensive equipment cannot possibly guarantee you a better picture. Unless the

more expensive camera means it can `think for himself' type of camera. It finds its own shot, and captures it automatically. Then an expensive camera, can guarantee you quality.

Quality and good pictures comes from the photographer. This is what I always believe. I also believe we can always give those top pro national geographic documentary photographer

a digital camera and they will still take award winning pictures compared to any of us here that uses a 20k equipment.

Hi,

I am not very pro. I am just very knowledgeable.I won't take people's actual day photos with any camera, because all I am, is a happy housewife who need not work to survive ( not anymore ) But I also know that you are Nick from zoimage. If you are afraid that people's opinion may hamper your business, I suggest you rethink on what you should do. I figured I should forgive you for your lack of understanding in proper English because I do notice that sometimes I just cannot understand the structure of your statement hence I assume you couldn't understand normal English as well.

What I was merely stating was the fact that there are pro photographers who can take award winning pictures with compact. If you don't know who has done that before, it is time you buck up on your knowledge before you continue to lobby for business here. I kept quiet watching your post, don't mean I don't realize who you are. I kept quiet cause for as long as you don't cheat and disturb the peace of people here, I'd let you do what you want. You need to survive also anyways, no point cutting you off. But once you start to try to step on my tail, don't think I can't defend myself. When I was born, you're still in your mother's womb. I am probably even old enough to be your mother.

Learn a little bit about corporate ethics before you comment like a child.

Client have their rights to give opinion on what they want. I have my ideas and opinions hence I share. If you want to act like a kid and merajuk, this isn't the place. Please grow up.

YOu get what you pay for...and that's reality. Example: You pay more to buy a Vios than Proton...but the quality from a Vios is many times higher than a lousy tin can Proton. That is what you get when you want quality. If you want to spend less...then you cant expect a Vios quality...but a terrible Proton quality.

Another example:When couples compared our Bands with cheap bands, they saw the difference in quality. Those that can afford; hired us for their weddings.Those that can't...they hired cheap bands.

I have seen college students that charge super cheap to do part time videography and photography for weddings. Their 'touch-up' skill and camera angles are still sorely lacking...resulting in sub-standard quality when the video and photos came out. Some also dont even know whether to 'shoot' certain people or not! Some also missed the precious moments when Bride's Father hugged the Bride...(the Father has NEVER hugged the bride before)...and people were waiting to see that sentimental moment in Video and Photos...only to find the student Videographer and Photographer were busy shooting the guests outside the house smoking!

That precious moment was not captured by the students....but instead by the Bride's Ji Muis. Lucky the girls brought the camera! Though that moment was captured by amateur Ji Muis...the 'professional' students went around 'shooting' unnecessary scenes. I mean..people smoking also they wanna shoot?? :-O

You can put the equation to all vendors like Photographers, Videographers, MC, Caterers, Venues etc. . You get what you pay for. At the end, it is all about whether you want quality or not.

Totally 101% agree with you!!

As a professional photographer and videographer,they will know what gonna happen next...That's why they won't miss any step~

Experience matters a lot!

sometimes, high price not equal to high quality...

[Alyssakoi 0]

agree... affordable/ low price can be good in quality also as long as you like the photographer's style and it captures the most natural scene of you
