How To Choose A Wedding Photographer
Now, you just have to find a wedding photographer to capture all of those special moments. Unfortunately, not all wedding photographers are the same. In the following article, I would like to give you a few more hints on how to find just the right photographer for you.
Overall, you can see that there are differences. When looking for a photographer you should look at the images. It really doesn’t matter how many weddings a photographer has shot as long as they have been doing a lot of portrait photography. So, is the photographer good at capturing a face? Does he or she know facial structure and how to work with different skin colors, textures, and bone structures?
Questions to ask your photographer and the answers they should give.
1) Do you shoot in RAW or Jpeg? Can you tell me the difference? – RAW is a setting on the camera that allows a higher quality image after post editing. While a Jpeg image can be edited, the amount of editing is limited to a few things. RAW allows image exposure, clarity, contrast, blacks, lights, saturation, vibrancy, shadows, highlights, color balance, and many more items to be changed without hurting the photograph. The quality is not lost with RAW as it is with Jpeg. RAW is like having a blank slate while Jpeg is like having an already filled white board.
2) Do you edit the images? – This is a big one. Most photographers will indeed edit; however, find out what editing means to the photographer. Does that mean using iphoto and playing with contrast or does that mean using Photoshop CS2 or above? CS3 is an amazing program that allows professionals to edit the images. Look for a photographer that has a few years of experience with Photoshop, if they are shooting digital.
