Photography has now become a much sought after profession, that’s branched out into several categories like wedding photography, wild life photography etc. Even the wedding photography industry has branched further with the introduction of destination wedding photography. Let’s take a look at event photography.
Event photography is an all encompassing field that includes photography of events, be it sports, weddings, concerts, parties, graduation ceremonies, retirement dinners, charity balls etc. A recent report revealed that event photographers are some of the most highly paid professionals. So it’s’ lucrative enough for people who have a natural flair for photography and have the essentials to make a name for themselves in the field.

When looking for an event photographer, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind:
Remember to search for one well in advance. This would give them time and planning to search for one that suits your budget and requirements. Your friends and family members are the best people to ask for references. The internet is also the place to look out for them. Here you could also go through their portfolios and decide if they meet your needs. When looking at the portfolio look for signs that shout ‘photo- shopped’. Check if the portfolios have photos of the minutest detail. This ensures that the photographer has an eye for detail.
