Smart Ideas To Put Your Event Photographer To Work

By May Anne Fraser


Can you conceive of a birthday party or any family social occasion where no photographs are allowed to be taken? Sounds unusual, does it? Taking photographs is something we just cannot do without, if we wish to recollect the enjoyable and blissful remembrances of the function.

Now, imagine a big business event where big names from the industry are attending. Every individual particular has been carefully attended to by accomplished event organisers. But will it fly if no event photographer will attend to take the photographs? Bet it won't. Instead, it will be an awful waste.

The event photographer has a big purpose in any event. A once-in-a-lifetime event can be revisited over and over again with high-quality pictures that repeat what had happened, who were there, and why individuals met to attend the event. Fireworks can paint the night sky, money can rain from heaven, but all these event gimmicks will lose their magic as soon as the event is over, unless there are photographs to capture these memorable scenes forever.

These days, an event photographer can even amplify the excitement over an event while it is happening and just briefly after, just when the event organisers want the memory of the event to impress upon the people's minds. Armed with digital cameras and portable photo editing tools, an event photographer can project the high resolution photographs onto a wide screen during the event proper so that those attending can have a near-real time recap of the activities so far, and on how they look so far, too. Yes, for attendees, vanity is the name of the game with nearly any social event.

Hollywood celebrities do not have monopoly over red carpet and vanity wall photo opportunities any more. Corporate events also set this up, and employ a master event photographer to do the job. This is an essential and modern pattern which many corporates now observe. Not only are photographs on the vanity wall publishable to the press, they can also serve as token photos which guests may take home with them right after the event. Needless to say, the photographer should be prepared with photo editing and printing tools to make this possible.

Finally, there's a social media savvy event photographer who can produce a photo blog just for your event. Just be sure this has been set up when you first designed the event. Having a photo blog is someting event participants might delight, seeing that they have a popular place on the cyberspace to interact with each other and recall memories about the event even if it had been a long time since it took place.
