Hiring a professional photographer is the best choice if you are having an important event come up whether it’s a wedding or a corporate event. You can never go wrong with hiring a good photographer for key events in your life because let’s face it; this is not the time to trust your friend who owns a DSLR to experiment.
So if you are thinking about hiring a professional photographer Dublin, know that there are a few things every photographer wants you to know or automatically assumes that you already do.
So when you hire a photographer, make his/her job easier and the photo results better by doing the following:
- Your mood matters
Any photographer would agree that a bad mood will only churn out bad pictures. So if your pictures come with you frowning at the birthday party you had last month with your friends and family because it rained in Dublin, don’t blame the photographer or the weather of Dublin but yourself. Make the most out of any situation and you will see how great the pictures come out. The photographer will try his/her best to capture your natural expressions wherever you are so be happy and exude a positive vibe.
- Photoshop isn’t everything
Photographers love to work with Photoshop but they don’t like being told all the time “Can you Photoshop my love handles?’ ‘Can you Photoshop the bridge of my nose and make it seem prettier?’ A photographer is there to take photos and not to chop parts of you out. The ability to manipulate photos is an art that only he/she will decide when it is appropriate. Although at the end of the day the photographers will do as you tell them but they won’t be too happy about it. Dublin has many professional photographers and you should choose one that you think can work well with your specific needs.
- Your photographer is a person first
Many people tend to forget this important detail and just assume that they have hired a camera with legs. Try to get comfortable with the photographer, tell him/her what your needs are and also during your event in Dublin, make sure that the photographer is also looked after for e.g. being given refreshments, snacks etc.
- Do as your photographer tells you
You have hired a professional photographer Dublin then you should rest assured that he/she will do a good job. If you are being told to look at a certain direction, smile a little more, a little less during group photos, come in the light , sit up straight or tilt your face to the side, then please comply. You will make the job easier for him. Only a professional photographer will know what is the best way for your pictures to come out so be at ease with them.
- Don’t let other people dominate the photo sessions
If you have hired a photographer then there is really no point in letting your friend with the DSLR roam about and interrupt the photographer’s photo sessions. There are many times when someone will come in front of the photographer and take a picture from their cell phone. It’s not only rude and but disrupts everything.
