Hire the best photographers in Purasawalkam

Photography is the art of capturing light with a camera in order to render it into an image. Cameras have been around for centuries, especially in ancient times, and it was then that the principle of the darkroom became known. In the darkroom, an image of a white background is obtained by means of a small hole drilled in the side of a closed box. During this time, the image is not yet recorded. The first permanent photograph was captured in 1827 by the Frenchman Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. He solved the recording problem by coating a tin plate on a Judean bitumen. By washing the plate with oil, he was able to fix the hardened substance from the light. The discovery has been going on for years. The first colour photograph was taken in 1861. The history of photography has always been a story of artists and inventors who have come a long way. Their creations and photographs provide beautiful images to this day. Photography has become a valuable means of communication in various fields thanks to technology. It is also now considered an art. Visual communication, photo reportage, art photography, aerial photography, art photography, fashion photography, wildlife photography are all part of the wide field of photography. Not only is photography a mechanical and technical means of recording a graphic representation of people, moments or objects, but it also allows the creativity of a photographic artist to be expressed through images.

It is accessible to all thanks to photography training courses in order to become a professional photographer. There are different diplomas that lead to the profession of photographer. Among these diplomas, there is the BTM photographe and the Bac professionnel photographie for the Bac level, the BTS for the Bac+2, the Diplôme d'école spécialisée (Bachelor photographie) and the DNESP (Diplôme National Supérieur d'Expression Plastique option communication) for the Bac+3, the Master photographie or the Diplôme national supérieur d'arts décoratifs for the Bac+5 level and the diploma from the Fémis for the Bac+6 level. Many public schools also offer quality training in photography. In general, obtaining a Bachelor's degree in photography (Bac+3) allows you to work as a photographer in many fields (advertising, cinema, fashion, press, etc.). As an art profession, photography requires a mastery of photography techniques and emotion in order to obtain a professional quality shot. Communication and adaptation skills are also important. The photographer must master retouching software and be detail-oriented. Availability, flexibility, artistic sensitivity and creativity are assets that qualify a professional photographer. In addition, this profession requires perseverance, discretion and patience.

The scope of a professional photographer

The photographer is able to shoot in different fields such as fashion, journalism, advertising, architecture and landscape. They are prepared to organise group, couple or family photo sessions. He can also retouch photos and make technical adjustments (framing, relative to the light, speed of the shot, etc.). Whether it's a question of taking wildlife, culinary or sports photography, he can take care of it. Portrait photography, lifestyle photography, press photography and boudoir photography are also among his areas of expertise. The artist photographer is available to produce a photo book, a photo album, a magazine, art photographs, newborn photographs and photo retouching. During the course of his work, he can produce photographs according to the specifications defined by the client. The photo shoot can be done in the studio or outdoors. He can also cover different types of events in images, such as weddings, engagements, christenings and shows. His services are intended for individuals, advertising agencies and companies.

Why use a professional photographer?

The photographer is able to immortalise the intense moments of an event in images. They have the necessary know-how and equipment (camera, lenses, tripod, flash, etc.) to take unique, high-definition photographs. His objective is to sublimate in images the personal features of the subject he captures, whether it is a person, a product, an animal or a landscape. He knows how to find the best background, the right lighting, the right angle and the best pose to make a good shot. The photographer also knows how to adapt and put his subject at ease. They are able to guide their clients so that they can achieve their objective (packshot, advertising or brand promotion). He does everything possible to ensure that his client is satisfied with his work by offering him excellent quality images. They can make corrections thanks to their knowledge of photo software (such as Adobe Lightroom). Photographers usually work on a freelance basis and are often asked to do specific work by different companies and clients. Most photographers also work in a photo agency.

When should you hire a photographer?

Photography is essential in the communication of a company. The intervention of a photographer helps to develop the business of a company. His or her work is important on social networks, websites, points of sale, magazines and more. It is also essential to hire a photographer to make documentaries or to organise family and newborn photo sessions.

There are various parameters that can vary the rates of a photographer including experience and competence, the status of the company where he/she works, the equipment and the way of billing.

How to choose a photographer?

- It is necessary to research the different websites. This will allow you to compare and discover a lot of choices about the different professional photographers. - You should then select providers with aesthetic and sensitive criteria. - Once you have selected several photographers, it is essential to look at their portfolios and references. Their pictures should tell a story and be touching. This will reveal their skills, the quality of their photos and their artistic sensitivity. - It is best to ask for a quote. The quote can help you make the right choice about the photographer to hire. The service must be adapted to the proposed rate. It is advisable to hire a photographer who is a little expensive to ensure the success of your photo shoot. - The first contact with the photographer is very important and to know the last work he has done. It is also an opportunity to find out about the photographer's technical skills, the photo editing software he or she uses and the delivery time for the photos.

Questions to ask a photographer at the first meeting

- What training and qualifications do you have to become a professional photographer? - How many years have you been in the business? - What kind of photos have you taken recently? - Can you give me some references? - Can I see your portfolio? - What is your price for a portrait shoot? - How do you estimate your price? - What software do you use for retouching? - How long does a couple's photo shoot last? - When will the photos be delivered?
