Why You Need to Hire a Professional Photographer for Your Instagram 

Do you frequently look at the Instagram pages of top influencers in your category and wonder how they consistently manage to develop stunning photographs in their posts? Do you wish to have a perfect grid in your profile but lack the equipment and ideas to make it happen? 

The truth is first impressions matter. While “Not Judging a book by its cover”  may be a noble expression, it is hardly practiced in reality. And we are all guilty of it. In the world of never-ending filters and algorithms that score you based on the number of follows, shares & likes (Hello, Instagram), all of us are part of the same culture. While we can argue about the pros and cons of the filtered world, the truth is, that we live in it. And how you portray yourself matters, both professionally and socially. 

The celebs you admire frequently hire top-tier photographers to get their photos clicked. They have the resources to hire them. If you have ever looked for a photographer, you know how expensive it can get. And the hassle to coordinate with them continuously discourages most not getting a shoot. The photography industry is very informal, which is why there is no set standard for photography. Finding good options is another problem, you often have to go with a limited number of choices because there are not a lot of platforms where you can find good photographers.

Our team handpicks professional photographers to join us so that you can hire some of the best talents in the industry.

Our professional photographers have plenty of Instagram aspirations to give to you an aesthetic Instagram feed. We’ve got all the bases covered -

Quality

Which one do you prefer—a grainy, blurry picture or a high-quality picture? Unless a foggy surreal feel to the image is your vibe, you want the latter. Good quality images have a wealth of detail in them that adds to the vibrance of the profile. People want quality content, and since Instagram is essentially an image-centric app, it is essential to post pictures that convey quality and depth.  Professional photographers know how to navigate lighting, the angles that work, and the frames which have the potential of becoming a good shot. This is why their photos look so much better than our hurriedly taken selfies

Poses

A pose can significantly add to or take from the picture. With the right pose, you can add movement to the shot and make the environment of your shoot come alive. But more often than not, it gets complicated. Especially when you are clicking a barrage of pictures, how do you keep your poses fresh and non-repetitive? This is where the direction of a social media photographer comes in handy. They know what looks good on camera, and if you’re feeling experimental, their heads are always brimming with ideas. They understand the pulse of social media platforms and can help you create a strong brand image

Location

Find a good location and more than half your work is done. According to a study by Curalate, images with a background get 29% more likes than ones that have close-ups. A backdrop also holds the ability to define the mood of the picture. Feeling cheery and bright? Go with the vibrant colors of graffiti in the streets as the background. Want a calm setting? The beach comes to your rescue. But everyone knows the mainstream places in a city that are hotspots of photography. It takes a person who knows the city intimately to dig out the not-so-famous Instagrammable spots. Hire a local photographer to discover those hidden gems that will make your feed stand out

Post-production

Once the picture is clicked, you often go through the drill of rummaging through filters to find the one that fits, and sometimes, it takes forever. If you hire a photographer, the entire process—from capturing the perfect shots to editing them—is done by them. You can devote the time saved to come up with more engaging content ideas that will help grow your brand.

Affordability

When most people think about personalized photography sessions and want to book a photoshoot, they look at the prices and wince. It is true, that the services of professional photographers can be pretty expensive. High-end influencers can afford to have an in-house photographer but it is difficult for ones who are just starting. We understand the process of hustling and the budget considerations that come with it. At Holidaygrapher, you can find a range of affordable packages to select from and even customize one according to your needs. You can choose to hire a photographer for a day or hire a photographer for an hour to test the waters—it is entirely up to you.
