Becoming A Wedding Photographer

By Anne English


To start a profession in wedding photography isn't a bad idea especially if you are based in Singapore since professional photographers are highly in demand not only during wedding celebrations but also in other special occasions. There are scheduled wedding celebrations all throughout the year that means possible customers are just around the corner.

Purchasing a camera and performing camera shots are not enough to begin a career in photography. It's imperative to plan, prepare and practice to be a successful wedding photographer. You have to remember that there are many photography companies in Singapore. As a wedding photographer, you have to equip yourself with knowledge and expertise to fully participate in this industry. An aspiring wedding photographer has some things to consider before crossing the threshold of photography industry.

Set-up In The Most Fitting Location

The ideal location to set up a studio is the first consideration. Though some photographers choose the comfort of their own living spaces, others prefer commercial places for lease in close proximity to potential clients. The costly rent charges is the only drawback of the latter alternative but when talking about professionalism it is a better option because more clients choose professional over hobbyist photographers.

Procure The Best Photography Equipment

It doesn't matter whether you have the best equipment or not, what matters is that your equipment is complete and works for you. Cameras, lights, tripods, etc., a photographer needs all of these. A computer or a laptop with an photo editing software is also an imperative. Photo printers are also necessary but if you're starting up on a financial plan, which is almost always the case, you can actually opt to have your pictures printed by a third party for the time being.

Creation and advertisement of a wedding photography portfolio is the most useful technique to win over some customers. You can hire models or ask some good friends to pose in front of the camera wearing wedding outfits while you capture the best photos. Once your portfolio is packed with the best and high-quality photos, have them printed or uploaded on the Internet to serve as reference for future customers. A small number of breath-taking pictures are enough for a start-up portfolio since this will continue to grow upon working for more clients.
