How To Choose A Photographer for Your Fashion Product


Fashion Photography is the most overlooked aspect of fashion in Nigeria and yet having a great photographer can either make or mar you.

In these days of social media, customers buy based on perception. whether your brand is majorly offline or online, getting a photographer who knows the intricacies of the job is key.

this is why I've put together tips together tips to getting the best fashion shoots.

1 Hire a Professional
A professional knows how lighting can affect the color of your product, and he also does not need to be reminded of what will appeal to customers in the long run.

2 Ask To See Previous Jobs
Just like to get a job you need to present your CV, so also for you to entrust your beautiful fashion pieces into the hands of any photographer he needs to show you his previous jobs.

3 Shoot With More Than One Photographer
Truth is no two creative people interpret art the same way.
So you need to explore to find out which fashion photographer will put more life into your fashion products without being deceptive to your customers.

4 Check out the photographers offline and online portfolio.
Does this photographer get good reviews online as well as offline? Google is your friend but some people have great internet presence but are quite different in person.

5 Use already known names 
At the end of most fashion shoots credit is given to the photographer, you could just work with someone who has done this before.
Chances are he has already made mistakes in his previous jobs, so its a win-win situation.

Good-luck....
