What to look for when hiring a professional freelance, photographer
All professional photographers share some common qualities. If you looking to hire a professional photographer, here are some things you should consider.
Passion
Stories need to be told. Of sunrises and sunsets, of happiness and sadness, of inspiration and calls to action; of smiles, frowns and blank stares; of being there, existing, growing and eventually passing. All these are stories I look for, find and capture. These are what feed my passion for photography. Photography – my way of storytelling.
Technical Skills
One of the most important qualities of a professional photographer is technical skill. This includes the ability to use a variety of cameras and lenses, as well as the ability to understand and manipulate light. Technical skill is essential for creating images that are technically sound and visually appealing.
Artistic Vision
In addition to technical skill, professional photographers also need to have an artistic vision. This means being able to see the world in a creative way and being able to translate that vision into images. An artistic vision is essential for creating images that are unique and stand out from the crowd.
Communication Skills
Professional photographers also need to have strong communication skills. This is because they will need to be able to communicate with their clients to understand their needs and to create images that meet those needs. Communication skills are also essential for working with other professionals, such as makeup artists and hair stylists.
Price
My prices are affordable and competitive with other photographers with my range and years of experience.
