Experienced wedding photographer or clever hobby shooter?This is an evergreen, ever returning question. Many may think - especially today's economical crisis - that if it is really necessary to hire a professional photographer when so many people have cameras? The guests and relatives can make so many photographs, do we really need this?...
Perhaps it is possible that a family friend who has experience in photography will be able to take nice shoots, but.... there is a but. One of the most significant difference between a professional wedding photographer and a hobbist, that the specialist thorought the years, under continuous development of himself and his equipment had already learned from his own or other's mistakes what are the things that must bring attention to and be captured, what are the most basic mistakes that photographers would do that he will never do again. These could be really simple things, but still a hobbist might forget about while they are disturbed by the flow of happenings. |
