With smartphones, today we are all photographers. From selfies to group pictures, to nature and scenery, we can catch any moment, every moment, with a touch of our cell phone screen, and darn those pictures look good. However, your cell phone does not make you a photographer; only an education, experience, and the proper equipment can do that.  Let’s face it, cell phone photos are nice for your scrap book, but when it comes to something important, your wedding for instance, or your business web page, a professional photographer is in order. Need more convincing? Read on to find out the benefits of professional photography.

The Differences Between a Professional Photographer and Your Smartphone

When it comes to something important you will want to hire a professional photographer. Everyone may think of themselves as a photographer but not everyone is. It takes training, skill, creativity, a steady hand, and a good eye to take special, meaningful pictures. A professional photographer can provide:

Consistency: You may snap that perfect picture on a clear day with no wind or rain, but can you do it every time? Professional photographers can. With a professional photographer comes consistency. Rather than a few lucky snapshots here and there, they will produce a collection of quality images regardless of the circumstances.

Skill: Professional photographers have a skill and background that can include fashion, interior design, posing, and art. They study lighting, color, and form and how all these factors look in relation to one another. It is not by chance that they produce good photos; it is due to a developed and practiced skill set.

Artistry: Everyone and every situation has a unique story and professional photographers are trained to capture that story and tell it via images using their artistic vision. If you have a particular vision they will work with you to capture that, too.

Professionalism: Professional photographers deliver. They should be punctual, patient, and willing to work with their client and according to their client’s schedule. In order for their business to survive they must provide customer service and customer satisfaction efficiently and effectively. That’s professionalism.
