Beauty Shots: Standard vs Premium Photographer
An event photographer captures the event in its entirety and can produce good photos that document the event. On the other hand, a beauty image (premium) photographer creates another layer of content that has a more focused and unique approach to your event.
Beauty shots or hero shots are a set of images that capture unique moments and feature products or services in the event. These images are different from standard event photos taken as it has a more focused and creative approach. Beauty shots are conceptual and require a sophisticated workflow that results in high-quality images that you can use for prints, collaterals, and more.
