Looking for senior graduation photographer in Rochester NY | Anthony Paladino’s Photography in Rochester
WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
To start with I’m not here to give you plenty of hype or even boast of myself. My purpose is to give some practical advice looking for senior graduation photographer , yes I would love to be your photographer; however, If you choose another and I helped you; all the better. Today we live in a world far different from the film days that required special skills. We are now in the digital age ; everyone has a camera, and everyone wants to be a photographer. I came from the film day and spent many days in the dark room in college. What I learned then still applies today as far as I’m concerned. The most important skill is personality. If you have all the technical skills and can’t work with people, and people can’t work with you; what good are your skills? As for me I’m a bit of a goofball and like having fun, and hope you too are in for a good time. I know how to mix business with pleasure and it’s all about the personality. So what else, being on time ? Yea , that is critical ; I will get to the shoot location thirty minutes ahead of time to allow me the time to scope out the landscape and map out what I want to do; some is in my head, some is on a notepad. My job is to make you look your very best, this involves poses , lighting, and location. These here are what I would expect of all photographers, and last know your gear and have the right gear.
WHAT TO WEAR:
Whether you are male or female when looking for senior graduation photographer; all have their favorite get up and that is what I want you to wear. I’m not over concerned about the number of clothe changes; I know many make it clear that you only get two or three, As for me I'm easy and beside you are the one that has to do the work of changing while I sit and wait; so I not concerned as to how many changes you want to do. Just keep in mind that if we are off in nature a changing room isn’t often available. What else, when looking for senior graduation photographer; photographers usually want you to limit from wearing all bright white get ups. Anything neutral such as off white, blue, some black even reds are fine. Last , as for time I only do two shoots a day; so you are not bound to a time limit as some will give you a two hour shoot. As for me I want you to feel relaxed and not rushed.
AFTER THE SHOOT:
All images are shot in RAW format, without the technical details it is much like film that contains all the info and needs to be edited using professional photo editing software. Once edited I convert the images to a jpeg for optimal viewing quality on your computer. These images are downloaded to a thumb-drive for your keeping; then downloaded to Dropbox for your viewing. The Dropbox images you will view and pick out which ones you would like printed. I will contact you in a week for a meeting and go over which images you would printed. I do all printing myself, I have a variety of high quality photo papers and sizes to choose from. Once printed the images are delivered to you in person, I prefer to hand deliver the images to you as It adds more meaning to the job. This is what sets me apart from others; as they shoot in jpeg, no editing and send the images off to Walmart for printing; then mail them to you. This again is a personal preference for you; do you want your images done any old way or do you want them done professionally? These are things to consider when your looking for senior graduation photographer. I hope I've given you some usable advice that you can take away from this blog. Please contact me with any questions or comments.
