Shameless plug for occasion pictures as a result of I don’t gatekeep once I like one thing.

As lots of you understand, I just lately did a workshop in NY. After some forwards and backwards, we determined (fairly final minute!) to rent an occasion photographer to seize us in all our glory. Trying to discover a final minute photographer in NY was a problem (I known as all my regulars, however everybody was booked!). But, once I reached out to my community, somebody really useful we try Snappr. Within 30 minutes we had a devoted account individual sending us portfolio hyperlinks and inside an hour we had 2 photographers booked for the subsequent day. I’ve now used them twice (2 separate occasions in 2 main cities) and had good experiences with the corporate.

✅ Pros:
– It’s handy, inexpensive (we tipped properly), and quick. 
– We labored with younger photographers or side-giggers constructing their portfolios. 
– The folks we labored with had been variety, skilled and simple to work with. 
– We personal the entire pictures.

❌ Cons: 
– We additionally employed them to make a sizzle reel (I’ll replace this when it’s achieved. So far, the UI and suggestions loop with their exterior video enhancing companion is just not nice). The videographer grabbed rather more for social content material vs advertising content material and minimize off a number of soundbites that might have been nice. I additionally now know I might have briefed him higher. 
– It’s a combined bag on who you get to shoot. I’ve had an excellent expertise, however I wouldn’t rent them if it is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

But, general… one thing price trying out. I obtained a brand new headshot I actually like and we obtained some GREAT pictures we will use in our advertising supplies. We additionally shared some actually enjoyable pictures of the attendees with them as properly. Who doesn’t love a candid to share on social?

Now, whether or not photographers are followers of this firm? We def would wish to ask them. But as an early adopting buyer, I’ll proceed to attempt them out and watch this house.
