The next item on our list is photography, This is a crucial item for your event, Remember days like this that need to be remembered, and what better way than through photos? But if they are big photographers and your budget is not up to it, you could either go for budget-friendly photographers and trust God that the next event you do, you will use the "big photographers." the good [part of this is that even the low-grade photographers know their trade, just because their name is not known, they could deliver like the big photographers if given a chance. But that's not why we are here. So if your budget is slim, why not go for them or meet the "big photographer"? Discuss with them, let the shots be limited, and agree on some items to capture and what not to capture, it saves you a lot of money and stress.

Real estate photographers: We don't understand why some real estate agents insist on taking their own photos. We know it's damaging their brand, and we know they do better when they hire professionals. Yet so many photographers are doing something similar to this when they say they don't need professional help. Think about it: if you want agents to hire you because you can help them grow ... ... then shouldn't you be willing to hire people who can help you grow your photography business? After all, if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for you.

Being a photographer is cool, but here's what you don't see: → Preparation for the photoshoot, such as sourcing props, renting gear, and finding the right people for the project → Carrying heavy equipment (sometimes including props) and lifting = back pain. → The long hours spent setting up to get just one shot right. → Constantly pushing boundaries and experimenting with new techniques. → Lots of deadlines that you need to keep up with. → All the post-production work until my eyes bleed. Yep, being a photographer is cool. I love it, but there's a whole world behind the lens that is usually unseen. All those successfully turned ideas into reality and compliments after the project is completed obviously compensate for all of this 🥰 #ProductPhotographer #ProfessionalPhotographer #ProductMarketing #TwentyninStudio

Wednesday Works: Treating your photographer well A simple but important question: "Why is it so important to treat your photographer well?" It’s more than just good manners—it’s about creating a positive experience for everyone involved. Photographers work hard to capture your special moments, often under tight deadlines and challenging conditions. A little kindness and respect can go a long way in making their job easier and ensuring you get the best results. So, how can you make their job smoother? Be clear about your expectations, communicate openly, and appreciate their efforts. A bit of gratitude and understanding can make all the difference, not just for the photographer but for the overall experience. Remember, a good relationship with your photographer can lead to even better photos. Treat them with the respect they deserve, and you’ll both end up with memories you’ll cherish forever. #WednesdayWork #Boopho #RespectYourPhotographer #GoodVibesOnly #PhotographyExperience

Picking the right photographer is crucial, especially when it's your brand on the line. It's not just about finding someone who can take a good shot—it’s about finding someone who gets your brand. Here’s the checklist: ✅ Does the photographer understand your industry? ✅Can they adapt to your specific needs? ✅Do they have a style that complements your brand? Most importantly, can they tell your story through their lens? Communication is key. You want a photographer who listens, understands, and contributes creatively to your vision. Experience counts, but so does enthusiasm and a willingness to collaborate closely with your team. Think we might be a fit? Let’s talk. I’m here to ensure your visuals are nothing short of perfect. #photography #brandphotography #brandidentity

Comparing… When you compare photographers pricing, it’s too easy to miss the value that each photographer gives and things in the background you may not have even thought of or considered. Your focus is too much on price & too less on the value, quality, experience and character of the photographer. Some photographers will give more value than others depending on how long they have had their career, what they really want to give to their clients &,the calibre & uniqueness of their work.

Hiring a photographer is just getting some decent pictures, right? WRONG. "Just take a quick photo" is a mistake. The right photographer doesn't just take photos—they shape your personal brand. As a master of this craft, I know: ✨ They capture your true essence ✨ They create visually stunning portraits ✨ They present your absolute best self Choose wisely. Their style must match your vision. I've turned "meh" headshots into "WOW!" personal branding. Want to see this magic in action? Follow along—more behind-the-scenes coming! 📸✨ #isleofwightlife #smallbusiness #islandlife #islandbusiness

How do you make sure your headshots stand out above the rest? - Part 2 Pay for a Professional Photographer and Quality Images Although smartphone cameras have improved, they still can't match the expertise of a professional photographer. A skilled photographer knows how to use angles, lighting, and post-production techniques to present you at your best. Investing in a high-quality headshot is more than just a photo—it's a strategic move for your brand, demonstrating to potential employers and connections that you take your professional image seriously.

It's OK, we already have a photographer, we will keep your details on file. People have a perception of what you do, everyone does and everyone knows a photographer, right? And everyone knows a photographer just takes pictures, right? Because so many of them do just that, take pictures and hand them over, job done, get paid, all over. I call these transactional photographers. There is a different way, a way that added value can be delivered. There is no way I can do that justice in a post on social media, it only really works on a 121, a face to face meeting. Only then, as our conversation builds do the ideas and creativity become truly apparent and how the term "applied photography" really takes meaning. If you want to know what Applied Photography means, call and lets have a coffee and a chat, you better bring some good conversation and problems so I can help you solve them. #appliedphotography #employeerecognition #teambuilding #corporatesocilresponsibility
