Photograph Weddings For Big Profits

It's ironic that a video about photography could be so visually dead. Not a how-to guide to wedding photography; this is how "You Can Make Big Profits" in the wedding pix biz. Host Richard Riesenberg, sits behind a table and talks at the camera with only the occasional slide or FULLY CAPITALIZED TITLE to interrupt the talking-head approach. This is an extension of the narrator's Making Money with your Camera video trilogy (VL-9/95)--which he endlessly hawks here. Amateurish and painfully obvious, the program's "helpful" business suggestions include: take home your unused business cards--except for those with food or drink on them; and ingratiate yourself to your minister or rabbi in order to get the sole concession for photographing weddings in your place of worship. Not recommended. (R. Reagan)
