Dallas Wedding Photographers
In the past several years, there has been a boom in the number of photographers (or those who claim to be photographers) throughout the world. Being a professional photographer typically meant there was education, technical training, some apprenticeship and a number of portfolios developed over several years. That paradigm changed with the advent of cheaper, digital cameras and information sharing via the internet.
As the cameras became more sophisticated, technical accuracy was not as necessary given that thousands of pictures could be taken within hours. Even an amateur photographer could get good pictures due to the sheer volume of times the shutter was clicked. The ending result has been quick delivery of average quality images. Even professionals became sloppy in their respective trade often times in order to get quick results due to competitive pressures.
With low barriers of entry, quick access to technical understanding and cheaper equipment, thousands of individuals entered into the photography business. Of course, some of these recent entrants have mastered their craft and could definitely be considered professional photographers. However, the majority are just out to make a quick buck and will mimic competition, deliver sub-par photography and eventually bow out of the industry. Even so, there will always be a new generation of eager hobbyists who attempt the improbable path to a professional status.
Some resources to look for professional photographers include:
