6 Reasons Why You Should Hire A Professional Photography Service Platform Rather Than Individual Photographers

The rise of giants like Amazon and Uber has taught us one thing, that it is much easier to hire agencies that provide services than an individual service provider. 

Let’s take travel as an example. If you are on a vacation, would you rent an Airbnb or call every guesthouse in the area to find suitable accommodation? Convenience is an important factor behind why people act in a certain manner. They buy products and services that offer them the most convenience. That is the same reason why people prefer to book a professional photographer from a reputed service rather than looking for individual photographers from a Google Search. 

One of the companies that are actively trying to make this idea into reality is Holidaygrapher. Holidaygrapher is an online platform that makes it convenient for people to book a professional photographer for their Holiday photoshoot. If you are traveling anywhere in Australia, India, or Bali, you can hire a Professional Photographer from Holidaygrapher’s network to capture your memories. Holidaygrapher has standardized the whole process of finding and booking an amazing photographer whenever you are traveling to the above-mentioned destinations. 

Here are a few reasons why travelers prefer to trust service providers like Holidaygrapher over Individual Photographers 

1. You will not have to negotiate for the best price 

If you have ever looked for a photographer online, you know the exorbitant prices that they charge. An Average photographer in Sydney NSW charges AUD 448 for a 2-hour shoot. The national average for a 2-hour shoot in India is INR 16000. That’s a lot when you have to especially keep aside a chunk of your vacation budget for good photos. 

High fees are not the photographer’s fault either. Individual professional photographers do not get regular shoots. To make up for their time otherwise, they cover up on charges for the shoot they can get held off. At the end of the day, they are simply trying to earn a decent living. That is where platforms like Holidaygrapher are ideal. Holidaygrapher has standard fixed and customized packages (Starting at AUD 199 for a 2-hour shoot anywhere in Australia and INR 3999 anywhere in India). That’s ideally like 5% or even less of your vacation budget. 

Low costs however do not take away anything from photographers. This is beneficial for them as well! It is simple math. They save costs on marketing and promoting themselves, and because the service charges less, they get regular shoots. All of this adds up and even provides them with more income than if they went solo. That is why more than 400 photographers have already applied to join the Holidaygrapher network. 

2. You will not have to coordinate continuously  

When you book an individual photographer, chances are you would have to coordinate everything. You would have to schedule the shoot considering his availability and decide on every little detail. And it might be overwhelming for the photographer to manage everything if he is coordinating a lot of shoots at the same time. 

With Holidaygrapher, the process of booking a Holidaygrapher has been made as simple as possible. It looks like this - You book a photographer based on your availability, you have a quick call with him to discuss and plan the shoot, you enjoy the shoot experience and within 7 days you get beautifully edited photos. That’s how simple getting a shoot is!

3. You will have Access to Experienced Photographers 

While hundreds of photographers apply to be a part of the Holidaygrapher Network, not everyone gets in. For Every 10 photographers that apply to join Holidaygrapher, one gets a chance to. Holidaygrapher has a very stringent screening process in place and their Hiring Team works towards only onboarding the best of best-talented Photographers. That is because customer satisfaction is at the core of what it does. When you hire a service like Holidaygrapher, you get access to a lot of experienced professionals in a destination. You get to choose whom you want to hire. This is not the case when you hire an individual photographer. 

4. You get a Professional Service 

The most important advantage of a booking service over an individual photographer is the kind of service you get. They have a professional approach while taking care of their customer. Services have a team to take care of you which may not be the case with individual photographers. There is a dedicated team to handle customer queries. Services also follow a certain process while carrying out the shoot which eliminates chaos and lots of last-minute changes. 

5. A Good Photoshoot, Guaranteed 

The ultimate aim of a professional photoshoot service like Holidaygrapher is Client satisfaction. This is why they go the extra mile to make sure it happens. A Standardized process mixed with a creative shoot guarantees amazing photos every single time. There is a reason why so many people trust Holidaygrapher to capture their vacation memories.

6. Confidentiality of your photos 

All individual photographers do not always have a system in place to protect their photos. They might not even be sensitive to your privacy by sharing your photos on their social media handles and websites. Holidaygrapher on the other hand has an agreement with all of its customers. The client has the sole copyrights of their photos. Without their explicit permission, Holidaygrapher nor their photographers would use their photos on any platform.

To summarize, booking a photoshoot service trumps hiring individual photographers any day. When you hire Holidaygrapher, the client benefits, and the photographer benefits. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.
