Skills of distinguishing whether a wedding photographer is professional or not

In the era of national photography, anyone with a camera can use the Internet to attract business, so the photography industry is mixed. According to the statistics of related websites, photographers who use other people's photos to promote themselves on the Internet account for almost 5% of the total. Then the question is, you saw the photos and thought it was great. After paying the money, the things you took were not as good as those you took with your mobile phone. Does anyone want this? If you don't want to, please read this article carefully, and we will let such shameless people have nowhere to hide.

1. Consistency

A good photographer will establish a fixed style. If you find that a photographer's work is different, you should be on your guard. At this time, you can ask the other party for more samples. If not, find another photographer.

Contact the photographer in person

Internet is a double-edged sword. Don't just trust the website. It's best to meet the photographer, or at least get along. No one wants the other person to have bad emotional contact. This is very important. On the other hand, you can ask to see the original film. If there is no original film and the photographer is vague, it is probably a fake!

3. Refer to the comments of other guests.

Although the old lady sells melons, if the other party can't even get an evaluation, then you should think about it!

4. Look at his social network

If it is found that his works are very different from his works on social networks, especially in terms of standards, it is very doubtful.

5. Ask to see photos outside the wedding.

If the other person can only provide some wedding photos or only photos of the bride and groom, then he probably hasn't taken wedding photos or has not had much experience in wedding photography. The photos he showed were probably from the studio or made an appointment. Although they can be taken, good wedding photography needs enough experience to support it.

6. Watch the whole wedding record

Again, you can't trust all the photos on the website, because no one will share bad works or fragments that are not essential enough. If you can, ask to see the complete wedding records he took, so it is easy to know what level he is. You don't want your photographer to shoot only one or two good enough works, and the rest are like wandering, do you?

7. Listen to the wedding designer's advice

It is popular to hire wedding designers, who know or cooperate with a large number of photographers. Sometimes it's good to listen to their recommendations.

8. Pay attention to details in photos

If you want to identify the authenticity of a photo, you might as well pay attention to the background clues in the photo. After all, for stolen photos, it is always impossible to know the environment and process better than the photographer, and there will always be clues in the chat.

9. Search for pictures

I believe everyone has heard of using Google or Baidu to search for pictures. Very convenient. Finding out whether the photo was stolen is actually much easier than before. Besides, there are websites like Tineye.Com that can help.

Of course, it should be noted that a novice does not mean that he can't shoot well. If it is discussed clearly, it is not necessarily a bad thing to use a new photographer. For identifying and selecting photographers, it is difficult for photographers who pass the above nine tests to shoot badly.
