Hi Everyone
Introduction on the importance of personality for event photographers in Scotland
So what is important for conference and event photographers Edinburgh Glasgow and throughout Scotland. Today I am going to look at the importance of personality for event photographers in Scotland and how this plays a crucial part in your day to day commissions when you are out and about as an event or conference photographer in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Scotland.
Each commission is totally unique and different. For instance, wedding photographers in Scotland need to consider how they interact with guests and the couple. It is a very different approach for both. As a wedding photographer, I need to pay attention to the couple and guide them in a sensitive and professional way. With the guests, I treat them with respect but there is often scope for banter and a more relaxed and friendly approach. This may sound obvious but I am sure like me, you have all met the kind of abrupt business like photographer who totally fails to keep you at ease and the result is a whole load of tense photos.

With conference photography in Scotland, the approach is different, it is a more serious environment and effective communication with the delegates and speakers is crucial. I like to chat to the speakers before I photograph them and ask them if my approach is fine with them and let them know what type of images I am looking for. A few test shots usually helps to create a relaxing atmosphere. It is always better to speak to the delegates before you photograph them when you get the chance. Relax and do not overdo the flash photography.
PR photography and personality
So what type of approach is suitable for PR and newspaper photography. I think friendliness is crucial in this instance. You are working at a fast pace and you need to be very approachable and relaxed if you are to put your subjects at ease. You also need to be very clear with them as to what you want and of course, don’t forget to smile.
