The Importance of Hiring a Professional Photographer


With the recent explosion of the digital camera market, and even smartphones that take amazing photos, why should you go with a pro? 


  • A smart camera does not make a smart photographer. Just because your friend, co-worker, or relative may have a high-speed, high-quality digital camera, does not mean he/she is a fantastic photographer. While good “over-the-counter” equipment does help the average consumer up their photography game, a professional photographer brings an artistic vision, approach, and creative eye that can’t be bought at the electronics store!
  • Professional equipment perks: Shooting with our HD Sony Cameras or our beloved Hasselblad Medium Format cameras,  and professional lighting equipment helps us take the best shots, even in less-than-optimal circumstances. Low light, nighttime, and even high-speed action shots can be tricky for the amateur shutterbug, but pros know all the tricks to capture every moment. 
  • Posers: Ever tried to corral 50 friends and relatives—including a few wild kids—for a big group shot? Or need a little inspiration for your own unique portraits? Professional photographers can help—and will know how to get guests together quickly and efficiently while making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. 
  • They’re hired guns, not guests: Just like you’ve missed something at a wedding, party or another event because you’re chit-chatting, dancing, grabbing a drink at the bar or maybe even a few minutes late, a professional photographer is there exclusively to capture your moments. By hiring a pro you’ll guarantee he won’t miss the perfect shot because he’s tearing it up on the dance floor—Uncle Bob just might!
  • The end result: Pro photographers can also edit and retouch images and design beautiful finished products like albums, custom prints, canvases, and more like the video I’ve included in this post. Check it out, and you can see the difference Atlas Studios makes.
