James Wlotko Photography, Pennsylvania (www.jameswlotkophoto.com)

Hired www.jameswlotkophoto.com to photograph Bar Mitzvah, as recommended by party coordinator. Did not understand how to stage photos or even fundamentals like lighting! Equipment woefully inadequate; one entry level SLR, no external flash, no backup. Was asked to photograph RAW format but used jpg instead. Out of over 500 photos, only 40 were adequate and that with a lot of editing. Ended up producing a small book using black and white with split toning to cover up bad lighting. Not recommended.
