I am not qualified nor capable to handle such a project. I know there are capable and qualified photographers in our EOH. If interested, please contact Maria Seinitz at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . Thank you very much. Roy Okano (EOH Member). ----------------------------------------------------------------- I need some help. I am on a committee for my tea ceremony group, Omotesenke Domonkai Hawaii. We are hosting a really big 2 day event in February. It will have a ceremonial high tea at Honpa Honwanji Betsui Hawaii on Friday, February 20, 2015. The next day there are two Chakai (smaller commerative teas). One is at the Japanese Consulate and the other at JCCH. Then in the evening there will be a banquet. The Governor and the Mayor will be invited along with some other dignitaries. There will be 100 people from Japan, 100 from 3 Shibu (branches of Omotesenke) on the mainland and 100 from Hawaii.
Here's my problem. I need to find a photographer. I am ignorant of how to go about this. I have found out a few things. There are different kinds of photographers I'm told. What we need is an events photographer. And that the cost is either per day and/or per event. I also have been told that it's not only the time taking the pictures but the editing time.
I also need a fast education on how to get prints. Everything today is digital. Do we get a disc and print our own? Go to some website and request prints for a certain fee? I've been told by a couple of people that we probably would not get a disc of the pictures as that stays the property of the photographer.
I would need some samples of their work (website I assume). And some idea of what events they have done. And of course the fee. Maria Seinitz at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
