How to find a photographer with better shooting skills?

Photographer of large-scale photo studio (buy personal photo album of photo studio) (there is no intention of shadow building here, but the photo studio has the meaning of existence, but here are some disadvantages of the photo studio). When ordinary people see this problem, the first thing they think of is the professional photographers in large wedding photo studios. Their signature dress will definitely remind you of the hairdresser and the head of the hair salon. In a photo studio with good benefits, a professional photographer has to take dozens of single photos every month, and they obviously have countless guests. Then, they are skilled, experienced and deeply influenced by their careers. Ask them to take a personal photo of you, and you will certainly be able to take a beautiful picture in your mind, right? I think you and everyone know the answer: it's difficult, and besides, you've tried. Maybe some photographers have a good foundation, and you happen to meet them with great luck, but just like buying lottery tickets, you can't win every time. This kind of luck doesn't happen every day. Why is this happening? Because of the particularity of portrait photography, it is not a job that can be done well only by experience and technology. The birth of a good photo is inevitably accompanied by superb technology, but more importantly, it incorporates the photographer's own love, which can be the love of photography itself or the love and affection for the subject. In short, there is emotion and technology. What kind of situation is the photo studio? I was fortunate to have worked as a photography assistant in a wedding photo studio in Xiamen for a period of time. What I have learned is that almost all photographers in large studios, especially those who wear different styles and explode their heads, are forced to start their photography career, starting with backpacks and diaosi, and gradually learn some skills. Later, it was packaged by the store as a "senior photographer" and began to serve customers. They only care about the pre-shooting, and the post-processing part is completed by the photo studio retoucher. Photographers from this background have several serious problems in their working mode: first, they basically only regard photography as a means of making a living, but do not love photography itself, and even many people are disgusted; Second, in their eyes, customers are just raw materials produced on an assembly line. They shoot according to the clothing, composition and posture specified in the shooting kit (the studio does not encourage photographers to integrate personal feelings to innovate when shooting guest photos), and then throw the pictures to the retoucher after shooting, and the retoucher will retouch the pictures according to the established routine. The film produced in this way is a standardized product, not necessarily bad, but definitely not very good. As for the so-called customization, this is especially true. ; Thirdly, we despise the emotion needed for shooting, but pay too much attention to the technical elements, so that the final film lacks a little "taste"; Fourth, due to the influence of the growth route of this group, the personal aesthetic level is likely to be biased. Of course, you can also invite the artistic director of the studio to come out to serve you at your own expense. The personnel in this position are technically and aesthetically guaranteed, but the cost of going out for a day like this is amazing, and I'm afraid the subject can't afford it.
