Why Custom Photography?
There are literally thousands of photographers right here in my town.....so how or why do you choose?
Well first and foremost you hire a Professional Photographer because they can offer you something that you can not get on your own. Every soccer mom has a camera and can take great snap shots! SO many photographers call themselves PROFESSIONAL just because they are member of PPA or WPPI....news flash ANYONE can pay to be a member......yes it is a couple hundred dollars, but you can do it. They do not come and check us out to make sure that we are who we say we are!
So pay attention when you are hiring someone! Are you just seeing their best images or a collection of all? Ask to see a complete session.......anyone can shoot 100 images a get 10 that are pretty good. Are their images strong BEORE artistic render.....or does the artistic render make the image? What kind of education have they had? Were they self taught? or did they learn hands on under an educator? You do not have to go to college to be a photographer, but you do need to be getting education on a regular basis.......that is what your clients are paying for! You are paying for the added touches, that you can not add yourself. You are paying for You have to remember that a great photographer can take a great image with almost any camera. It is not the best camera in the world that takes the best images.....but the man or woman behind the camera with the knowledge of capture!
