Photography In Court. Funnny video, Good reminder.

by Jarrod Michael: We’ve all had these conversations and or arguments in the past. Just because someone can walk into Best Buy or Local Camera shop and buy a professional camera setup doesn’t mean they should. I really feel that if someone wants to be a professional anything, said person needs to seek out the right education and training. Education is different for everyone. Some people will intern under a photographer with years of experience. Some may want to go back to college or a trade school for the education.

But the point is clear, to become a professional one really needs to obtain a solid education on the subject and practice, practice, practice.  All of this takes time and effort. Sure you could go down the easy path and buy the pro camera setup and declare yourself a professional, but the chances are REAL that you could end up in similar situation as the people in this video. Now whether this is for real or not may be open for debate, but the point is. Even TV knows that photographers often get in over their head and mess things up. It’s a good reminder. At the very least the video is a good laugh. Enjoy!

  1. Wow…
    Some of those pictures they showed were horrible!
    How could they even pass those as acceptable?

    It wasn’t the cameras fault…it was the peoples…

    Lol, and Judge Joe like geeked out over the camera stuff…lol

  2. It was great to see Judge Brown geek out over cameras. However, as we all know it’s not the equipment, but the photographer that creates the photo. Still fun to watch and I’m glad you enjoyed my post. More to follow.

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
