It's all the same thing, over and over for most "pros" couldn't care less because it puts bread on the table.
Not sure if the term "most pros" is accurate, though I am sure it is VERY true for many. Mindless repetition does NOT equal quality or useful experience. It is also a fact that any business person that doesn't care, is simply not going to be around for very long and during the time they are there... *are* giving nothing but crappy results!
However, I do see a large number of up and coming photographers entering the scene from all directions with a wildly different concept in mind:
- hey, how about we get REALLY good with our cameras and flashes
- get REALLY good with being creative and original, setting ourselves apart
- ...and finally, the cherry on top of the cake, let's become REALLY good at advanced networking, targeting, business and marketing techniques!
These people are going to not only put a spin on the current wedding photographer scene, they are going to put many of the ones who are stuck in the endless loop of "us old school TRUE professionals, we are right, you young-uns are all wrong" mentalities right on their butts or out of the playing field all together, unless they adapt to the (not so new), new rules in the game.
