Hiring a Photographer is Still Important for Pictures that Count

Yeah…everyone has cell phone, right?! Then why do I need to hire a photographer for new portraits for my business, for my wedding, or for advertising and commercial work? It’s simple…professional photographers having an understanding of light, angles and poses. They know how to use their cameras and lenses with a great accuracy of aperture (F-stop) , shutter speed, ISO (measuring the light), AWB (Auto White Balance), tripods and mono-pods, and more have a good understanding of the weather and indoor lighting and how to manipulate the light so it will having a pleasing affect for the photograph. When you decide to hire a professional photographer — please spend the time to interview the photographer, look at their work and their references, ask questions, and comparison shop. Everyone is a photographer, right? Nope - that is the wrong answer. What they charge is well worth the investment.

This event space was dominated by magenta spot lighting. I used my 85 mm lens (great for low light) and fill flash.

Getting married in 2020 — PERFECT! Its the beginning of a new decade. And, you have dreamed about the perfect wedding for so long. How do you choose a photographer when there are so many portrait and wedding photographers to pick from?

Do a Google search for photographers in your area. Review the photographers work on their website and Social Media pages. Look at their reviews. Ask yourself, do you like their photography style and the variety of work they advertise? Can you visualize spending time with the photographer, getting along with the photographer, and being comfortable with them for the photo session? Does the photographer advertise they can do both engagement and wedding photography?  

Does the photographer have experience with all sorts of lighting situations? Photography is all about capturing the light at any stage; natural, fill flash, indoor studio, and more.

Next, contact the photographer and schedule a time to chat and meet them in person. Ask a lot of questions and build a relationship with the photographer. There are many qualified and talented photographers in the market place; however, by doing a little homework and setting aside some time to get to know the photographer, you will gain great confidence that he/she will do a fantastic job for you. The results will show in the service they provide for you and the beautiful natural photographs showing you and yours at your best!
