As a new photographer at Photogenika, right from the start I photographed a company event that lasted four days. Normally, multi-day event photography jobs are divided fairly among the photographers, so that the event photographer on site is always fresh and alert. With this order, however, it was expressly requested that the event photos be taken by the same photographer on all four days.
Special effort in event photography
As a photographer, I'm used to carrying my gear, standing late and working late, but these four days made me feel that photography can also be a profession that's not only mental but also physical can be very demanding. (As of "just press the button!"). Especially when it comes to event photography.What makes good event photos?
I always like to compare a photographer to a marksman. Just like them, we have to wait through the viewfinder for the perfect moment and press the shutter at the right time – without losing sight of any important moment. Over time, you develop a "360° view" that constantly checks everything. In the long run, this is a real information overload for the brain, and you inevitably become tired and unfocused. If you're photographing an event, meeting, or conference alone, you can't just leave or take a break. If you do want to freshen up, you have to wait for a suitable moment when you can be sure you won't miss any important event photos.What motivation do event photographers bring with them?
You might ask yourself, why do I do all this? Quite simply, because I absolutely love it. Smiling faces, wonderful, unforgettable moments to capture with my camera, the chance to experience a fantastic atmosphere and breathtaking acts up close, great food, and amazing performances. All of this makes me forget my aching feet and tiredness, and even after a short night, I'm always looking forward to the next exciting day of event photography on location. Sometimes I wish more people could see firsthand the passion and love that photographers put into their work. event photos It's here. Yours truly, Anne and your Photogenika team
