What is custom photography?
I was linked to this web site today called Professional Child Photographer . com and it really struck a chord with me. I go around in circles a lot of times with friends and family about why I do things the way that I do them when it comes to working my photography business.
Basically, my goal is to give people everything of the highest quality that I can give them (ok, there are some limits). Anyone can snap a bunch of ‘pics’ … I am practicing all the time with my camera, studying photography in books and online, I go into a situation and analyze what direction and quality the light is, where would be the best placement of things, how to pose people so they look their best, and I work my camera in manual mode so that I get the results that I want. With good looking photos to start with, I then enhance them in Photoshop and use my artistic eye as well as lots of learning and practice to get the effect I’m going after.
So if you want a good explanation of why custom photography is expensive, please read that article. It will be very enlightening!
