Hi Everyone

So if you are looking for a conference or event photographer Edinburgh Glasgow Scotland, what exactly should you be looking for. An experienced conference photographer Edinburgh or throughout Scotland should have the following photographic skills:

1. To be organised with their time/equipment etc. Being aware of the timing of the event including the speakers/workshops etc is vital and it goes without saying conference photographers should arrive early.

2. Proper insurance ie public indemnity and public liability insurance are vital for the photographer.

3. The skill to take high quality conference and event photos, which should be apparent from the photographers website.  Make sure they have proof of photos taken similar to what you require and see if there are any testimonials to back-up their good work.  A list of some of the companies they have worked for would be useful.  Make sure they work in the relevant area of the industry.  A wedding photographer in Edinburgh could have a portfolio full of high quality wedding photos but with few depicting conferences.

4. The price, although you will have a budget so this will be the main consideration, but don't just go for the cheapest one.

5. The ability to react quickly to unexpected things happening at your event is a must for the corporate photographer in Edinburgh, in addition to a calm manner during a crisis.

6. Membership of a photographic organisation and or qualifications.  There are lots of photographers out there, whilst qualifications are no guarantee, it pays to check of the photographer is a member of a reputable photographic body such as the Royal photographic Society (RPS), who have high standards when awarding distinctions for their members.

7. Can the photographer provide a quick turn around of the final photos, if this is important and ensure they are able to supply them in the format you require.

8. Can they provide a few photos on the day for social media.  This should be possible for most photographers with the technology available, but it's worth checking nevertheless.

9. Will they go above and beyond for your conference in Edinburgh ie can they provide even more than you have asked for and do they have a unique selling point (USP}.

10. Do they have a friendly personable manner.  The photographer will be with your delegates for hours and taking a photograph is a very personal thing, they should be friendly helpful and mindful of not intruding or being a nuisance at the event.

OK, so I hope that helps in your search for a conference photographer in Scotland.

Kind Regards

Colin
