$200-$250. I’ve seen some people write it that way. Does take a hot second to realize what the hell they mean

That still makes no sense. “I bought groceries today that cost $50-70.” Either round or don’t…

They’re not saying that’s how much they paid. They’re saying that was the the pricing bracket of the “editor” of the images. As in “My services range from 200 to 250, depending on [criteria].”

The decades of laughter from this would be well worth $250

I’d be concerned if my face looks like this all the time.

Lol … That would be the best part. We all make fun of this photo and what we think is a terrible Photoshop and then realize the family does actually look like this in real life.

shadows were really bad on the beautiful, clear, sunny day

That part’s accurate even though they’re acting like it’s unreasonable. Direct sunlight creates much worse shadows than an overcast day with diffused lighting.

But a professional photographer taking a staged picture should know how to frame the shot so that the shadows work in your favor.

Oh yeah definitely still the photographer’s fault.

I just wanted to point out their strange implication that sunny days wouldn’t produce shadows. It’s pretty difficult to take good portraits at peak sunlight.

Assuming the family wasn’t like, “NO, WANT HERE. THIS SPOT.” and “What do you mean? It’s beautiful out!”

Plenty of people are plenty smart. Intelligence in one area does not equal intelligence in another. Common sense and decency also falls on a wholly different scale.

Though this is a super old meme/photo. So maybe we know the story, if there is one beyond what it says.

Or know the right time of day to schedule an outdoor shoot.

Nope this looks like mid-day sun, there is no magic framing that can solve this problem. Here are some of the options the photographer could’ve used:

  • Don’t shoot outside at noon on a sunny day (morning/evening instead)
  • move to a shadowy area, increase exposure
  • diffuse the sunlight, in this case for a group photo you need a huge diffusion panel
  • use a reflector to fill in the shadows
  • use lighting to counter the sun

Or any combination of the above.

There’s no way to work with clear overhead sun. You pick another time of day or shoot in the shade.

Sure there are, they’re just much higher effort and require to know how to work diffusion, reflection, lights etc. Probably need to hire at least one grip to help on the shoot. Price will be much higher.
