You have chosen your destination, you have booked your tickets and packed your bags, and now all that remains is to look for special and fun activities to do on vacation with your partner, family or friends. We bet that a photo shoot that captures the best moments of the trip was not among the activities you had in mind, right?
Well then you are in the right place!
In this article we want to give you 4 good reasons to rely on a local photographer to capture the memories of your vacation.
Of course, taking a selfie is the most immediate way to immortalize a moment or a landscape with your travel companion, but let's be clear: selfies are all a bit the same, and tell nothing about where you are and what you are living. Instead of a close-up of you and your partner smiling against an indistinguishable background, the best photos are those that can also emphasize the landscape features of your destination. For example, can you imagine taking a selfie while in Santorini and failing to capture the beauty of its distinctive blue domed roofs?
Or again, you will surely have happened to stop a passer-by to take a photo of you in front of that beautiful monument, and then find yourself with a blurry photo or with a nice finger in front of the lens, and be forced to stop someone else in the hope of getting a better result. A little annoying, right?
Luckily, by booking a photo shoot with a professional photographer, none of this will happen again! You just have to relax and let the photographer capture those timeless moments, which you can bring back every time you have your photos in front of your eyes.
Let’s admit it: taking pictures while on vacation it’s a bit of a hassle. If you’d like to take good pictures, you should necessarily carry with you the bulky weight of your camera. Or, if you prefer using your smartphone, you’ll have to deal with low quality photos.
And, in any case, regardless of the vehicle you choose, to take a photo you will have to stop every time, when instead you just want to enjoy that moment, that emotion or that special landscape.
It takes at least a basic knowledge of the various shooting settings - as well as an expert eye, of course - to take photos that capture the perfect lighting, a beautiful moment, a well-balanced composition and at the same time also the essence of the place.
In all likelihood, you have already taken a photo to capture the emotion of a particular moment or the charm of a place, only to realize that the photo "doesn't work", right?
A professional photographer, on the other hand, is able to capture the special moments you live with your partner, your family or your friends and to give you photographs that have the strength to make you relive the emotion of that moment or the beauty of that place.
The photographer you choose for your shooting will also be your local guide, so you will have the opportunity to discover the hidden and less touristy places of your destination, the most evocative views, but also the best places to taste the local cuisine: these are information that you get only by talking to a local and that allows you to fully experience a new reality.
Not to mention that your photographer knows things like when is the right time to have optimal lighting conditions, when is the best time to be photographed without having all the other tourists around, what to wear during the shoot to look your best or how to look good in photos.
