These days, with the advent of digital cameras, it seems that everyone claims to be a photographer. However, if you are in need of photography to help sell your product or service, it’s best to seek out a pro. With the help of a professional, you can guarantee your pictures will be quality and exciting to look at.
Before hiring a professional photographer, it’s important to understand the difference between consumer photography and commercial photography for publication. Consumer photography such as parties, special events, charity events, a wedding and portraiture provide a final product to the retail customer in the form of a wedding album or framed portrait. Commercial photographers are usually trained in specific type product photography, i.e. food, cars, jewelry and others. There are different types of lighting and setups that need to be used for different types of commercial photography. However, commercial stock photography for publication provides a service as opposed to a product. This means that the final user, the client, who uses the image(s) in his or her brochure, advertisement or catalog, etc, are paying for permission the reproduce the image(s) in their publication. The photographer retains the copyright of the image and is, essentially, licensing the image for a particular use and period of time.
