great event photographer should show a diverse portfolio of different events jobs and perspectives. If their portfolio only consists of the same shot from slightly different angles, this is a red flag.<\/p>\n<p>In their work, they should be able to show their knowledge of posing clients (if necessary). This could be important if your event has special guests who need to be captured.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that those just starting in the photography business may only have experience shooting styled shoots. This can mean limited portfolio photos with real people. That doesn\u2019t mean that they cannot compose photos that are visually interesting, though. If this is something you\u2019re concerned about, definitely get in touch with them to speak more about their experiences.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_they_have_a_specific_photography_style\"><\/span>Do they have a specific photography style?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We just discussed why photographers should show diversity in their portfolio.

The certificate is a testament to your expertise and dedication to the craft, the same applies to photographers.<\/p>\n<p>A great photographer learns real techniques before they venture off into developing their own style. If they have learned from real pros in the field, they\u2019ll be able to adapt to meet any challenges that may come on the big day!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_they_know_how_to_photograph_events_with_extreme_lighting_changes\"><\/span>Do they know how to photograph events with extreme lighting changes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For example, if a wedding ceremony is set up outdoors at mid-day, there will be harsh lights settling on the clients.

When dusk hits, your photographer should have the right equipment\/camera settings to take well-lit photos!<\/p>\n<p>Ask them if they have a full-frame camera. Full-frame cameras work in all lighting conditions while delivering higher resolution images!

As a new event planner, you may want to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2015\/02\/marketing-styled-shoot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">set up a styled shoot to expand your portfolio<\/a>. When networking with other professionals in the events industry, a styled shoot is a great time to see what the professionals you\u2019re working with are made of. If you meet a photographer who replies days later, is vague with details, and arrives at the shoot late, complete this project and walk away!<\/p>\n<p>You want someone reliable and easy to work with. If they are trouble at a styled shoot, it\u2019ll spell disaster when there is a paying client around!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_they_friendly_and_easy_to_be_around\"><\/span>Are they friendly and easy to be around?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If the photographer isn\u2019t friendly, at best they\u2019ll be awkward to work with. At worst, they may ruin the whole event for clients and all the other professionals.<\/p>\n<p>Photographers should be approachable for intimate celebrations and parties. If they aren\u2019t, guests may feel uncomfortable and be stiff for their photos. It\u2019s their job to make people comfortable in front of the camera.

The goal is to serve your mutual clients!<\/p>\n<p>If they\u2019re caught up in capturing the perfect shot, it could mean they\u2019re missing candids of sweet moments.
