somegroovychick- any one go for professional photographer because simply they wana see themselves in a professional environment.
any one can take a picture, but when it comes to professionalism photographer will charge for many other things (both for SLR photography, and digital ones) i.e. exposure, posture (so u look the part of this world and not some other world), eyes, quality of the paper, size of the paper, effects.
so lets say u order 5 photographs. they charge u for 5 best shots (on which they gonna work, and gonna make it as best as they could) even though they gonna take 1000 shots.
who charges for posture? anyway, yeh that is what we are saying. that they should take the pics and give the best shots. and what im saying is that they shouldnt lie to their customers about rolls when in reality they are using a digi cam.
