USEFUL TIPS
HOW TO FIND YOUR NEW TOP PHOTOGRAPHER
Compromise actually does not exist!!! You have understood, for example, that your clever photo-amateur neighbor and similarly many average marketing well-versed “quickly fermenting individuals on websites and social networks” are an unacceptable risk. This is definitely not TOP A BEST for your upcoming “important event”. You may choose to make your own search, communication and discovery more complicated, which is very correct. Your keywords should be your own openness – where the cheapest but high-quality portfolio with author’s versatility, without mistakes and slips, with education and expert PHOTOBIO does not crack – at an affordable and reasonable price, which can be better than the current market highs. But the price is such a small catch and a crutch – but it’s not all important…
WHO IS A PRO? Today’s high-quality professional photographer does not only do the most lavish weddings and does not specialize only in lucrative business portraits. The current professional in the AV industry is usually a versatile and independent freelancer. A professional photographer can prove himself not only with an exhibition show-room camera (2/4/6 K), but also takes photos as his main occupation throughout the week and not just as a better, skilled amateur as a hobby. It is interesting that according to Slovakian statistics – less than 10% of photographers on the market – and it can also be proven by completing a comprehensive or long-term photography school at the high school or university level, preferably with official accreditation of the Ministry of Education and Culture. A technically good but creatively empty photo is available just like your own selfies on a better smartphone… DEMAND!!!
UNI-CREAT!!! Today, it is not unusual that a really “good photographer” can also work as a reportage documentarian or a skilled cameraman and director; and also has a producer overview. They can be real original personalities with their own creative team, production and post-production, while ownership of technology is a matter of course.
HOW MUCH??? For a classic photo series and all-day work at the SZČO in the 2023-2024 season, an established photographer will ask for 1,000 EUR – 1,200 EUR for a wedding ceremony with a feast until the morning, but a high-quality professional is also available with a significant product discount, even in Bratislava. DISCOVER THEM…
ORIGINÁL!!! How does a layman know a really good photo? Unfortunately, even that is not self-evident… The art of photography is more than a prescriptive but non-inventive technical craft… But it is mainly also the art of light, coloring and color, but also shadow as an enhancement of the atmosphere, creating and reflecting the peak moment, finding a catchy statement: all this with modern and diverse rhetoric or the rhetoric of minimalism…
PHOTO STORY BY A REAL QUALIFIED PHOTOJOURNALIST. Simply a new form as the perfect opposite of a kind of general kitsch ANTI-CREAT. PERSONALITY !!! Beautiful photos but without mediocrity and crutches! Not a postcard without taste and without an opinion on the world. Also, look for natural originality without excessive academic scholasticism. AUTHENTICITY!!!
