I, like many photographers, believe that professional shooting cannot be compared with a photo session on a phone. But also, I am aware that the picture quality of modern smartphones is so cool that it is already impossible not to notice it. For example, the latest iPhone takes amazingly natural and high-quality pictures. On trips and travels, you no longer need a camera, as before. Unless you're a fan of film cameras or super light and handy mirror less cameras. It is easier with a phone, it performs the function of a camera, as well as a navigator, messenger, bank card and much more.
I have friends who say that they do not need a professional photographer, because their phone shoots just as well. Like, they can ask a friend or girlfriend to take a photo of them. According to them, the photos are indistinguishable from professional ones. But I disagree, and I'll explain why.
A professional photographer is a person who has honed his knowledge for years
Not only knowledge of light, color, etc. The most important thing is that the photographer has seen hundreds of faces in his entire practice and has learned to find the right angle for everyone, which will emphasize their merits. An ordinary person does not have this practice, there is no understanding of how to photograph any person correctly. I'm not talking about how to see a good light that correctly falls on the face.
The photographer spent years learning to see the beauty of people not only in their virtues, but also in imperfections.
That is, for me, any manifestation of you is just you, and not a division into advantages and disadvantages. A professional photographer does not evaluate a person, whether he is beautiful or not, whether he poses well or badly. It is important that the photographer works with any person in the same way as he would work at a fashion show in Paris.
A photographer can unlock your potential
An ordinary person, friend, girlfriend cannot always reveal your potential in photography, as a professional photographer can do. An experienced photographer has psychological skills that allow a person to relax and open up.
You can take photos on your smartphone at any time, but you need to prepare for a photo shoot
It would seem that what is good in this paragraph? The fact that preparing for a professional shoot creates a state of anticipation and excitement. And also the shooting process itself is an exciting, unlike anything event. A creative impulse not only for the photographer, but also for the customer of the photo shoot. Then waiting for photos, interest: “How did the photographer see me?” Preparation, the process of shooting, waiting - all together this is not just the word “photo shoot” - it is an exciting journey into new experiences, emotions and an amazing opportunity to see yourself from the outside.
Since most photographers are creative people, they know how to photograph you in an unusual way.
How to prompt in posing and make poses harmonious, interesting, but at the same time relaxed - this is the experience and knowledge of a photographer, which an ordinary person may not have.
The photographer knows the best locations for shooting and knows how to work on them
And he also understands more what clothes are better to choose for this place. And he can always give professional advice so that the shooting turns out to be harmonious in color, and you would definitely want to print or post the photos on the social network.
The photographer has a team
A professional photographer has a team that can do everything for you if there is no time to prepare and there is a budget for it. You do not have to puzzle over what to wear, what image you need. The photographer and members of his team will help with the choice, advise, prepare and resolve all issues.
Do you still think that your girlfriend or boyfriend can do better?
And the last
I am convinced that no matter how cool the camera on an iPhone or any other smartphone is, it cannot be compared with the work of a professional photographer. Photographers with their own style and taste will always be in the price, no matter what technological progress comes in the future. Because it is not so much the camera itself that is important, but the talent, vision, energy of the person who shoots for you. Getting a service from someone who is passionate about what they do is an incredible experience. I myself have been to a photo shoot three times and I know what it is.
I am for professionals in their field and for a creative tandem, for inspiration on shooting, good preparation and a cool result. And you?
