It is not an easy task finding the right photographer for your event.
Below are some factors you should consider in the research of getting the right photographer
Technical proficiency
Having the latest cameras, lens and other equipment used in photography does not guarantee a good photographer. The results are beyond the machines used. A photographer needs to be experienced and competent for them to feature works and figure out how to use the equipment they are having for the best results.
Creativity
The creativity used when producing a photo makes the difference between an average photo and an amazing one. Desire, experience, and knowledge bring about creativity. A photographer missing one of the above tends to produce average photos mostly. Look at the photographer’s previous photos and see what went into coming with each.
Ability to meet deadlines
This may be seen as petty, but it is important for the person you choose to be able to be available at the agreed time or else some of the event proceedings will not be captured. The photographer should be able to manage time, especially delays for you to get all shots you wanted. You do not want to miss any moment on the most important days of your life, so you better make a wise decision.
Is he or she a “people person”?
It looks obvious that a photographer is a person able to interact with people. The assumption can land you into trouble when during the event, the photographer gets stressed and is not able to control your guests for the shots. It is important that the person you choose can take control in the nicest way possible. If they cannot fit well in the group, I bet the photos will not be among the best.
Appearance
What will the photographer wear on the event day? Agree with your photographer on what they will wear; it should be something that enables them to fit in with the guest which eases their work. He should not just look like a photographer because the other quest might keep on staring at him hence spoiling the best captions.
Budget
Work as per your budget. Do not choose the very expensive photographer as not always expensive is quality and also do not go for the cheapest because you might land a trainer who spoils everything. You must be at all times get the quality of your money.…
