Benefits of Good Photography? - 05-18-2007, 12:06 PM


I'm looking for an article(s) that talks about the benefits of hiring a professional photographer vs the client using their p&s.
Being on the graphic design side of things, a lot of our clients see the point in spending money on good design (a feat in itself) but then they don't want to pay for professional photography.
Anything out there?

Warren,

Are these your words, or is the quoted title at the end a reference to another author's work?

Just wondering, because if this is truly a quote, then proper citation would be called for including the author's name.

If the words are yours, bravo!

Scott,

My quotes are supposed to be the link to the authors work. Obviously I failed the "How to embed a link" class!

Duly noted and authors credit given.

I posted a link to a NY Times article on real estate photography addressing this very subject. Search real estate photography...I'm too lazy.
