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!
You have a very nice site and you do very good work. My business does servicing for photographers. While our online format is only weeks old, our printing company is has been printing professional prints for 30 years. Let me know if you like to see our DirectLink software and compare wholesale print rates.
