I FIND TAKING PHOTOS DURING A FUNERAL INAPPROPRIATE!
It's not the time or the place for it.
It doesn't seem right.
I guess it's an individual choice, but i don't like taking pictures of the deceased or posing with them and I would strongly refuse to do so if someone suggested it. This actually happened to me during my father's funeral ceremony. NO. Its inappropriate.
Now, if you cant resist the opportunity. I would think the best time to take pictures is after the service, once people gather to have food and a chat. People are usualy more relaxed once the event is 'over' so to speak. This may come across quite rude to take pictures during the service/burial and may be upsetting to the family.
Now, if you're paid to do this job, taking photos during a funeral,
PLEASE! FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! DON'T FREAKING USE YOUR FREAKING FLASH! YOU YOURSELF IS DISTRACTING ENOUGH! NOW ADDING A FREAKING DISCO LIGHT DURING A EULOGY IS SO WRONG! OR TO SIMPLY PUT IT, YOUR FLASH IS RUINING THE MOMENT! get it? got it? good.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT! DO IT RIGHT! OR DON'T DO IT AT ALL!
Feels like death is being exploited, but possibly a trend that will grow into a business. We record births, special days, anniversaries, marriages. Why not complete the story with photographs of deaths. Afterall, a funeral is a celebration of life. right? YES? NO. NOT FOR ME.
Now, if you're going capture the grievers and/or the mourners, please pay respect. NO FLASH.
