I had a lot of fun with this shoot yesterday even though it was freezing! Have you ever hired a photographer to take family or couples photos? Would you?
Yes I have, I had about 10 of them do my wedding lol.
bit of a back story, when I was in the Royal Air Force, my trade was avionics, however we also did all the reconnaissance work as well. This meant working on lots of cameras systems and sensors, including hand heads by canon, Nikon etc.
i was on manufacturer course to fix various SLR’s and other types. Also we all attended JSOP (Joint School of Photography) learning how to take photos, develop wet film, take covert stuff etc.
this meant a lot of my Air Force mates were photographers etc.
i sent out the invites and the actual day had more bloody cameras than enough lol.
i have also ‘hired’ friends to do various work related and social related shoots.

Many years ago, a guy I worked with was a photographer on the side. I hired him to take pictures of everyone (individual and group shots) at a family reunion picnic. They turned out great. Most were given to the family members. I still have some of them.
When my kids were growing up, my ex-wife and I and our kids had an annual family phot at a local studio. I still have all of those. It's interesting to see the kids grow up over time while the parents don't change much.

My husband was a part-time fashion photographer. He took all the pics I used as my avatar & profile pic here on GAG & my other accounts. He also handles lots of pictorials for various families.
I'm a photographer myself, doing it as a hobbie now. Would make sense to hire one for shots i can't setup myself, although would be hard to not micromanage them.
My profile pic here was done by a hobbyist photographer, we just had fun shooting her and she wanted to try too.
I think you're much better than just a hobbyist. I mean yes you can teach about white balance, aperture and focus but making photos come to life is something you have or don't have. and you do definitely have that ability.
is it your goal to eventually become a full time photographer? also you've got some really good pics. I really liked the ones from the Halloween theme especially. I thought they were very creative. As for these, fantastic. I think they're perfect for a life time. Its great that cameras have become so much better over the years in comparison to the older stuff. Clear photos for generations far after our own to still clearly see and appreciate.
No it's just something that I enjoy, I do it here and there. I took a bunch of classes when I was in school and invested in some good equipment. I did have a sole proprietorship set up for about 3 years but then closed the business down in 2020 because.. well because 2020 lol
But the important distinction here is I could immediately take a photo of decent quality without an appointment and without spending any additional care of cash.
If I so wished, I could take a photo of myself wearing an obscene tshirt and post it simply to prove the point that I can do that, and it would take only a few minutes.
Behind my loft in the alley I see it done a lot. Where I take my dog for runs too. I think they’re great for husband/wife and or kids. Frame it and put it on the wall/countertop whatever.
Yeah, she was not a well established photographer. 😂 But, yeah, you could charge upwards of $1,000 per session. Plus it’s HOURS of editing and planning so that money is not made just in an afternoon so I understand why it’s not $50 instead.
There were taken approximately an hour before sunset. Ideally I should have like 2 hours before because of the location and lighting but the family was late and I had to do the best with what I had
