If you have an event coming up, maybe the opening of a new restaurant or even a wedding, you’ve looked into processional photography services. You’ve probably also heard someone say: “Well, your cousin could do it real cheap.” Unfortunately, the phenomenon of “everyone is a photographer” is widespread, with people entrusting their portraits, business photography, and special events to people without the artistic eye and dedication of a professional. “Do I need a professional photographer?” The answer is almost always yes.

Everyone is NOT a Photographer

Becoming a professional takes work. It takes hours of dedications, years of trying, and yes, plenty of stumbling along the way. But after all of that you end up with a season professional, someone with an eye for the right angle, the best lighting, and how to take advantage of the environment to create a work of art. After all, photography is an artistic expression. A birthday party is fine having a cousin snap shots with a digital camera. Commercial images for your business or website however, should rely on a professional with the know-how and experience.

What Type of Photography Do You Need?

When you choose a professional photographer or videographer, look at the artist’s experience. You should look at his/her gallery and make sure this is the person with the skills and artistic eye your project requires. For example, at D2, Doug Davis provides an easy-to-navigate gallery showcasing everything from food photography to creative images to portrait work. Your potential photographer should offer the same so you know the experience and skillset he/she is bringing to your project. If you have any questions about photographing a project, then don’t hesitate to contact D2.
