Looking at Photographers I'm currently looking into wedding photographers online, browsing through various portfolios to get a sense of each photographer's work. What I've come to realize is that all the best photographers highlight beautiful photos they've taken of beautiful (always thin) couples in beautiful venues. Which makes sense, of course-- this is their 'highlights' reel to lure in new clients, after all! But given the high rates of obesity in this country (and the alarming frequency of fat brides-to-be on /r/weddingplanning...) all of these photographers MUST have taken a couple of jobs from fat couples, statistically speaking. It's hilarious how these shots never seem to make it on their portfolio pages though. I did see ONE portfolio today that featured a fat couple though. The shots (nevermind the subject matter) were utter crap. Poor lighting, poor composition, amateur stuff all around. I'm guessing that this a cheap/new-to-the-business wedding photographer who has yet to gain the skills and clients to have a non-shitty portfolio. I immediately noped out of that one.
