photographer qualifications

4 posts in this topic

This is a "general" questions, primarily for the ladies, but any input is welcome.  When selecting a photographer, what do you look at, consider or expect when you schedule a photo shoot?  Do you expect hair, makeup costume and unique sites, or do you do your own makeup, hair and costume and consider sites other than your locations???

I have known a couple of photographers. They never had a make-up or hair girl. The models handled that. They had a dressing room with a lighted mirror for the models to tend to that themselves. The photographers did have help with the special effects. Wind machines, lighting, back drops, set furniture, to adjust gowns, etc.

JRWolfe should be able to answer those questions for you since he has photographed models and dancers in the past.

This can be varied.

 

Some are as basic as only having a mid to high end digital point and click camera or even just using their cellphone.

Some are just a DSLR camera.

Some will have a studio (they are most likely to use a DSLR camera) with props, lights, the works. They are also most likely to have photoshop and will photoshop up your photos.

Some will use a few basic editing programs/apps.

 

Remember the word "Professional" does not denote their skill level or level of competence, it just denotes that they get paid (in some fashion).
