In today's age many people might think that with all the advances in technology there isn't a need to hire a professional photographer. With the price of digital SLRs dropping and becoming a more viable option for camera enthusiast's people are left wondering 'Why should we hire a professional' when Uncle Steve has a digital SLR and is 'pretty good at taking photos'? But there is a big difference between an enthusiast and a professional photographer and it's not just the more expensive equipment.

Being able to change the oil in your car doesn't make you a mechanic just as being able to take a photo doesn't make you a photographer. The profession of being a Photographer has been around for over a hundred years and while the technology has made it easier for amateurs to take photos, some might argue that with the advent of digital cameras and digital workflows taking a photo has become more technical and thus more difficult. It's great to have the right gear but it takes years of training to know how and when to use it correctly.

Professional photographers capture photos for a living. Not only do they know their ...
... equipment and know how to take a photo for a guaranteed result, more importantly they know when to take the image and often anticipate the events so they can be right there and ready to capture it. A happy snapper or Uncle Steve might fluke a few good photos but a professional has the experience and training to know when, where and how to take the perfect shot every time.

A professional photographer's work doesn't stop at capturing an image; more than double that time is taken in post processing. It's because of this that a photographer needs to be competent with their computer skills and know an element of graphic design. Instead of a dark room, today photographers use Photoshop to crop, colour adjust, edit, retouch and digitally enhance their images and it's with these skills that a photographers true style can be seen. Professionals will discuss the look you require and know how to achieve the result – will Uncle Steve?

During an important moment in your life such as your Wedding day, so you really want to be thinking of whether or not Uncle Steve is getting the photo you want? You want to be enjoying the moment with complete trust that what you see later in your photos is just how you remember it. A professional photographer is discrete and completely focussed on the task at hand. They also have contingency plans in plans in case anything should go wrong; including backups!

The best way to find out why you should hire a Photographer is to talk with someone who didn't decide to hire a professional. Every time they look at their poor quality photos they will be reminded of how they skipped out on hiring a professional. It's sad but they are the ones who can best describe why you can't put a price on regret.
