Why choose a professional photographer?
Today, it seems as if everyone with a digital SLR camera can take a picture and he POPs in Facebook. What follows is a procession of family and friends added that the photographs of the person and suddenly they're photographer.
Why you would then pay a professional photographer to take pictures portrait yourself rather than relying on their camera and your friend? After all, their major watched photographs on their Facebook profile.
There are several reasons why a professional photographer is a better option.
When you commission a professional photographer, you are not only pay for the final product, the photographs. You pay for their time - and not only the time they spend with you on the day, but by the time they invested in themselves for the level that they are. You pay for their training, their equipment, their expertise and their ability to take not only an image, but make you look your best in this image. To compose and to expose correctly - not only illuminated by the Sun, but the edge light or backlight. You pay for their experience, their ability to make you feel comfortable, relax and just be yourself.
They advise you on what porter for you ensure that you look your best, and perhaps more importantly, you will tell what not to wear.
It is also true to say that a picture is taken the day of the shoot, which is not where it ends. Before a professional photographer will give you the final product, they were reviewed, sorted, edited and enhanced these photos to ensure that every detail is perfect. And I do not mean "red eyes correction" - a professional photographer would have made this error in the first place. Part of the cost you pay is payable to the photographer in post-production time, creating a product for you is not just a photo, but a timeless memory and experience.
Yes, there are probably less expensive – even free - methods of taking these pictures. But the odd adage "you get what you pay for" true rings in photography. Not everyone knows what makes a great photograph, but everyone can recognize a poor photograph.
Therefore before you asked the boyfriend of your sister to take a picture of you in the front garden of his mom, what a professional photographer may be able to offer you. And you may be surprised at the cost too!
