Q
What qualifications should I look for in a DC photographer?

A

Hiring a professional photographer may seem a daunting task, especially if you have never done it.   Determining who is qualified to produce the images you desire is difficult.  When faced with such a task, keep in mind that not all photographers are alike.  There are several important factors to consider when looking for your DC area photographer.  A few are listed below:

 

  • ñ Hire someone who is experienced and knowledgeable. More often than not, the experience and knowledge of the photographer supersedes flashy equipment. What is the point of possessing high quality equipment if a photographer does not know how to use it?
  • ñ Ask to review the photographer's portfolio. A qualified professional will have a comprehensive portfolio prepared and ready for your review. This will allow you to view samples of his or her actual work, a critical step in deciding whether a photographer's style will fit your needs.
  • ñ Ask for referrals. Asking for referrals will help you gather additional insight into the photographer's experience, area(s) of expertise, bedside manner, etc..

 

Above all, experience is the most critical and desirable trait a photographer can possess There simply is no substitute for experience.
