With the advent of digital cameras, it seems that anyone can get into the photography business.
A true professional will have experience of photographing a variety of subjects, from wedding, engagement to portrait, etc. and with digital photography educational background. While it might be tempting to get a friend to snap your photos for you, but a professional will be able to produce high quality images with artistic styles that will last for years to come. The following is what to look for in order to hire Just Love Image as your professional photographer:
An Interest in you: A good professional photographer will take time to get to know you and your expectation. When you sit down for your interview with Just Love Image; beside you asking us questions, we also want to know about your preferences and get a sense of what you are looking for in your final product. If a photographer doesn’t take the time to get acquainted before booking your session, you can defiantly know how your pictures will be treated.
Get personal: A very important thing to consider is the personality of a wedding photographer. You want someone whom you can relate to, feel relaxed around, and get on well with because you'll spend most of your wedding day with them. A lot of your other wedding services will come and go, or you won’t interact with them a lot, but your photographer will be there all day. Some photographers will try to tell you what he/she wants, while others will be more co-operative by making suggestions and asking you what you want. Some might be bossy, and some photographers will even try to run your wedding! Make sure they know it's your day, not their day! With Just Love Image, we are friendly and open mind photographers, easy to work with and also co-operative.
Artistic vision: Newfangled digital cameras automatically do a lot of the technical work that used to be reserved for professionals. But one thing that doesn't come with the latest lenses is an artistic eye. When you look at a prospective photographer's portfolio, you should see some expression of their artistic vision. Just Love Image always looks for a variety of angles and interesting points of view, things that make us unique and compelling. This sort of thing is what separates our photos from others. You can check out our portfolio in order to see if our style best fit your wedding, engagement or portrait styles.
Get the proofs: When interviewing potential photographers, make sure to ask whether they have the gear to produce proofs and prints in a timely manner. A professional outfit should be able to do everything in-house. This includes editing images, correcting minor blemishes such as red-eye and producing high-quality prints. With Just Love Image, we are specializing in photo editing; we are always looking for new editing skills in order to make us stand out in the market.
Photographer gear: Unless you have a good knowledge of cameras and camera equipment, asking a photographer what they shoot with might result in some incomprehensible answers! It can best to just ask the basics of what they use (example: digital vs. film) and if they carry back-up gear. Professional photographers will carry a number of different lenses, some for wide shots, some zooms, and often a specialised lenses for portraits. Finally, it pays to remember that the best photography equipment is no assurance of good ability! Even the most expensive gear is useless in the hands of a novice, which is a good reason not to trust your wedding photography to Uncle Bill just because he has a "good camera". Just Love Image not only gear up to capture your treasure moments, but also provide professional skills along with it.
Plan it all out: Once you find a professional wedding photographer you like, you should sit down with them and plan your day in terms of the photography and the photos that you would like from it. With Just Love Image, in order to make our customer’s life easier, we provide an online application form call “Wedding Planner” for our customers to fill it out as any times as they want before their wedding day.
Why hire Just Love Image as your professional photographer?
Because you’re a professional in your field as well, you probably want to get the best images possible; which are almost never the cheapest images possible. As we all know, the advent of digital photography has led to a whole slew of folks thinking they’re photographers; more people are trying to do-it-yourself every day. And it’s true — the DELETE button on their digital cameras allows them to throw away out-of-focus, awkwardly framed, and miserably exposed images instantly. The result is more people taking bad pictures than ever before!
When you hire Just Love Image, you’re not just hiring a person with an expensive camera. You’re hiring someone who knows how to make you (or whatever the subject is) look awesome, using an artistic eye, an ability to put the subject at ease, and the technical skill to give you a riveting image that everyone will notice. You’re hiring someone who can take your vision of yourself (or of the subject you want shot), and mold it into something eye-catching, truthful, and new.
