This is far worse than the loaded guy who buys expensive gear because he/she wants the best there is, but can't be bothered to use it properly. Gets the latest i7 laptop with SSD, lots of RAM, powerful graphics processor, the works. Uses it to read email and work on spreadsheets. Buys expensive Canikon, takes a few holiday snapshots.
The mall employees are being paid to do a job. They don't even have to read a manual. There are endless videos on the interwebs that shows how to set up flash equipment. I blame management most of all.
I suppose they got correctly exposed photos. The use of what amounts to bare flash probably made the subjects look uhm interesting...
How true, I bought a pair of BOWENS flashes in the late 70,s and taught myself how to use them properly with my old 6x7 did a bit of work and made a bit of money out of them as well, long live the experts, haha, ian
