Choosing The Right Photography Equipment
What’s the difference between being on staff and being a freelancer? The short answer is about 250,000 jobs: as more and more magazines, newspapers, and wire services have cut costs by eliminating staff positions, they have increasingly turned to freelancers as a more economical and more flexible alternative. There are currently tens of thousands of freelancers and stringers who supply the vast majority of the images for all but the largest few dozen publications, and there are benefits and detriments for both sides.Each of our photographers has at least 2 of every piece of equipment with him at the wedding. If something breaks, the “on-call” photographer is called upon. He is equipped with a cell phone, a case filled with additional equipment, and a schedule for each wedding for that weekend.
Will you be the actual photographer that will shoot my wedding? Yes, unless otherwise specified. In cases where you will be working with another photographer, you will clearly be told this immediately after your initial inquiry and will be shown samples of their own work. Note that we most often shoot with an assistant who takes care of lighting and equipment. This assistant may also shoot when time permits.These should be worked out prior to the appointment time. If possible, the photographer will avoid portraits, electronic equipment, etc.; however, any personal items or valuables that can be removed should be, before the photographer arrives.
How does the quality of digital compare to film? It compares very well. The quality of a great film generated photograph depends on the same principles as a great photograph generated by digital capture. The skill of the photographer in artistry, the mastery of lighting and equipment, and a reliable lab are all paramount issues regardless of the source of image capture. In the case of digital, the photographer needs a high degree of computer mastery and considerable skill in the photo software industry standard, Adobe Photoshop.I use natural light and flash. The choice depends entirely on what type of headshot you want. The weather can also be a factor. I wouldn’t recommend being too concerned about technical questions.
How is an X-ray performed? The Radiologic Technologist (RT) will escort you to a dressing room where you will be given an examination gown if necessary and instructed to remove specific articles of your clothing that may interfere with the radiograph to ensure that the radiograph is free of artifacts, e.g. material from your clothing, snaps, buttons, clips, etc. You will lie, sit or be positioned on an x-ray table.The Radiologic Technologist (RT) will escort you to a dressing room where you will be given an examination gown if necessary and instructed to remove specific articles of your clothing that may interfere with the radiograph to ensure that the radiograph is free of artifacts, e.g.
How better should we plan for the photography? Mostly it depends on the type of services you would like to receive. If you are planning for pure photojournalistic approach without formal portraits then there is not much you should worry about. The only thing is to provide as much information as possible about the schedule of the event (with all small details), so the photographer would know where and when better to be in order to take the greatest picture of certain parts of the day.When people see me walking around an event with my equipment they often ask me if I’m a professional photographer. this point in time photography is still a hobby (a very serious hobby.) I have a day job that takes most of my time. I’m willing to move up to the big leagues, I’ve just got to take that million dollar picture.
