10 "Most" Common Mistakes in Photography

Perhaps the 10 most common photography mistakes. Personally I don't think there is any scientific fact to justify "most" common, hence the quotes. All joking aside, the list of mistakes are common and perhaps knowing and avoiding them can give you a better ratio of keepers.

Trash the Dress: Alternative Wedding Photography

Trash the Dress, is quite the interesting project. Photographers take pictures of brides in an artful way that more often than not destroys the dress. There unfortunately isn't a gallery page, but the Photographer of the week page shares some shots.

“First and Foremost, Brides and Photographers that participate in TTD sessions do it for beautiful art. It is not an attempt to destroy the dress, but rather an attempt to create something memorable. To quote a good friend, we just want to let the bride enjoy herself and her gown, and get away from the “Don’t get a spot on my dress” mentality. ”

I haven't decided yet if this is the opposite of Wedding Photography, or if it should still be considered a subset of it. For one, it still involves a bride (and optionally a groom), in a wedding dress. It also shows off a brides commitment to the groom. "I won't ever need this dress again, might as well trash it." But, it still goes against traditional wedding photography in a big way. I love it.
