Choosing a custom photographer is not always black and white. Let's face it. Anyone can buy an SLR, edit (or NOT!) with free editing software, burn a CD, and charge $100...voila....your custom photography experience! Or is it?
Hi, my name is Brittney Hansen and I am a budget shopperholic (it's fun to make up words). But with budget shopping you have to consider quality. Both my husband and I have droids. We keep buying cheap covers to protect them in hopes they will miraculously last longer than a month. Do they? No, but they serve their purpose I guess:/
But with some things like "capturing the light in life's fleeting moments" (my nifty motto), you do not want to be cheap in investment/quality. I wanted to give a visual example of why not all custom photography experiences are equal. This is of course my image and may not be copied!
Sadly I come across the first image often. It is SOOC (straight out of the camera) and converted to black and white. Just because an image is converted to black and white does not mean it is magically, perfectly edited. Just like buying that cheap droid cover;) Now, I may have went a tad overboard, but notice how much more can be done to it in the second image.
If you think they are both nice. That is ok. I have people who I love in my life that really don't have an "eye" for this sort of thing. But, maybe with practice and looking/comparing work of photographers you can find the best bang for your buck;) I am NOT saying I am the most fabulous photographer in all the land. Boy I have a lot to learn and find enjoyment in it. Meanwhile, I just want people to see there is a difference. Sure, your coworker's wife's cousin is building a portfolio and charging a $100. We all have to start somewhere. But remember the choices for photographers are not always black and white.
