5 Ways To Do A Professional Event Photography

By Cindy Cortney


Unlike other kinds of photography, event photography needs greater attention specially if the size of the event is overly big for only one photographer to handle. Coinciding events within one major event in fact necessarily require two or more photographers to make sure everything is handled. As a client, you can rest your mind over the quality of pictures you are to anticipate if the photographer guarantees you of shots around these five key angles:

Emotions. In event photography, it is very essential to capture the emotions of those who are essential players to the event and also of the viewers. Capturing the emotions makes the photographs self-evident about how everyone felt during and about the event, without having to ask them one by one. Moments of laughter, tears, joy and pure bliss should be caught on the pictures. After all is said and done, individuals remember what they feel more than what they know. So if they felt exhilarated to be part of the event, then the photographs should show just this.

Guests. As crucial as capturing the tender moments in event photography is taking photographs of guests who graced the occasion. And this is not a problem for the photographer, because event-goers like to be in the spotlight and are barely camera shy. Take pictures of key personalities who added glitter to the already glamourous occasion.

Chronology. This is already given in event photography. Basically, the photographer takes photos of things as they happen, and ensure that everything is covered from start to end. This is simply a compilation of all the activities as shown in the program. And for this to be managed better, the photographer can recap the programme before the event and plans on performing the shoots for the chronological order of activities. In case the program has names of event invitees and , it would also be good to already put faces to the names ahead of time so when there is an opportunity to take a shot especially of the very eye-catching guests, then the photographer can do so. Remember, the social occasion can be so worked up and so a photographer who knows how to pull off his time and work his way around gets the best and most complete coverage.

Highlights. Every event has a prominent gimmick, usually as an opening salvo or just before presenting the merchandise, in the case of product launching. Part of event photography is of course taking photos of the event highlight or gimmick. The photographer can play around with his creative take on the gimmick or highlight of the event to accent on his pictures that this, indeed, is a peculiar part of the presentation.

Twists In The Event.Lastly, not all events are predictable, although the rule book on events organising tries to make everything foreseeable. Some twists can occur, and so terrific event photography accommodates certain twists in the events. All of these can give more emotion to the account behind the event, and more emotion makes for more powerful pictures.
