Summary
John answers why a business should hire him for a corporate event rather than having a staff member, like the receptionist, wander around with a cell phone all night. The short answer is that he delivers far better pictures, video, and candids. He can capture people discreetly when they do not realize they are being photographed, producing a more complete and natural record of the event than someone aimlessly walking around asking people to pose. He can also set up a full photo booth with a backdrop and professional lighting, giving guests a place to come through, pose, and have a great time. Overall, his coverage is much more complete and polished than what an untrained staffer with a phone can produce, which is exactly why the professional is worth it.
Answer
Why would you hire me, Watkins Photography, to cover your corporate event or your party or your holiday celebration, where a whole bunch of people are getting together, instead of just getting Shelly, the receptionist, to wander around with a cell phone and do it all night? The short answer is because I’ll get way better pictures, way better video, and way better candids. I can take photos of people when they don’t know what I’m doing and they can’t tell that I’m looking at them, and you’re going to get an overall better capturing of the whole situation, as opposed to somebody aimlessly wandering around asking people, hey, you want to do a photo? I can also set up a full photo booth situation with a backdrop and professional lighting, and we can have people coming through and posing and having a great time. The whole deal is that the coverage is a lot more complete. It’s not just some weirdo wandering around with an iPhone 14.
