DIY or Hire One - When to Use a Professional Photographer

By Nadine Cooper


The art of photography has changed dramatically over the years, from SLR's to mobile telephones who would have imagined only ten years back that the standard of photo from an entry-level cellphone would excel some of the finest technology from just 10 years ago?

Sure, there are the photographic enthusiasts out there that maintain their self loading cameras, just like there are the ones that rely on records and the popping sound being better than CD's. But photography has truly been extended to a much bigger audience, just look at the number of sites that promote pictures and photographs taken from all kinds of folk, from professional photographers through to rank newbies armed only with their iPhone or similar.

Like anything , however , the faster the manufacturers make technology and the less complicated it would seem to be to take an image, great photography is still a skill. Capturing the quintessence of a minute, understanding frame, depth, light, contrast is something only a trained professional can supply.

Hiring a trained professional photographer for your folks picnic is uncalled for, but when it comes to a really major event like a wedding, well then it's different. Leaving your once in an entire life photographs that will be passed down generations to a friend with an iPhone is ill advised, so too is presuming that armed with a decent electronic camera your uncle or best man can capture your special day like an expert photographer can.

So consider the importance of a minute, sure it's not always possible to predict extraordinary events, you don't always have enough time to organize a professional cameraman, like for your infant's first steps but for your wedding photographer ensure you get a credible, experienced and proven professional, who knows the best way to take those live events and make them photographic memories.

There are actually tons of photographers offering their services touting as wedding photography specialists, but few have the experience, the talent, and the temperament to trust with generational images for a wedding is for life, but your pictures are still cherished for generations to come.
