Are you on the lookout for a professional photographer for your event or product photography? If so, there’re a number of things you should consider when selecting a cameraman (ตากล้อง, which is the term in Thai). Whatever photographer you pick, make sure he is capable of delivering quality results. Let’s find out what you need to consider when choosing a photographer:

Professionalism & Photography Know-how

A professional photographer always carries a backup camera to deal with any mishap during the job. They have extra memory cards, extra batteries and extra lenses. They also have an assistant to carry and hold things. Creating quality shots isn’t an easy thing, it take a team work. You need to investigate everything you think can affect your photography job.

Pricing

Experienced photographers always list their prices, as they don’t want to create any confusion for you. Don’t work with a photographer who keeps things ambiguous to overcharge you. Always look for those who’re fully confident about delivering you your desired results.

Set up interviews

Be sure to meet them in person to discuss things in detail and clear any doubts in your mind. If you’re satisfied with what they’ve on their site, contact them to see if they are available for you. There’s no harm in shortlisting and interviewing different photographers.  This will surely help you find the best photographer for your photography job.

Ask around

Be sure to spend some time asking your friends and colleagues for their recommendations. People who’ve already worked with a photographer can better guide you. So, you shouldn’t feel hesitation in asking others for their recommendations. The more you ask the better for you.
