Why use an Experienced
Professional Photographer?
When you commission an experienced professional
photographer you are not paying for someone to
simply press the shutter release button. With
the prevalence of digital cameras, almost anyone
can take a photo (although not always a good one).
In the end, cutting corners with your photography is a false economy. After all, it is not about how much you save, as about how much you sell.
| When you commission
Benjamin Townsend Photography, you are paying
for; |
 |
A committment to a consistent
standard of excellence. |
|
A business that listens
to it's clients needs, and does everything
it can to fulfill them. |
|
High quality camera,
lenses, and lighting equipment. |
|
The Photographer's knowledge
and experience with using such equipment. |
|
The Photographer’s
creativity and style. |
|
The Photographer’s
ability and experience to get the job
done. |
|
Specialised knowledge
of photographic processes, software
systems, and digital production, and
the ongoing training in those systems. |
|
The Photographer’s
understanding of the processes involved
with the end usage of the images, and
their ability to provide the best possible
result for any given purpose. |
|
Proper insurances to
cover any liabilities that may arise,
and therefore protect you the client. |
|
The quality and breadth
of service provided to you by the Photographer. |
|
The value of the images
themselves. |
|
And last but not least,
the Photographer’s actual time
and effort that goes into producing
your images. |
|
Please also consider that for every hour a photographer
is onsite actually photographing, there is generally
1 – 2 hours of image preparation and production
time spent getting the images to a state suitable
for proper viewing (work that previously took
place at the photo lab).
As with any other profession, such as lawyers
or accountants or dentists, you will pay more
for a photographer with more experience than one
with little experience, however the more likely
you are to receive a high quality product and
service. Would you visit a cheap dentist or lawyer?
When you are looking for a photographer, consider
foremost the quality and style of a photographer's
work (i.e. look at their portfolio). Secondly
consider costs, if this is important for you.
By taking cost as your primary concern, you are
risking your entire investment in your marketing,
rather than looking at the potential increased
sales and benefits of utilising high quality work.
