Party Photographer - Making a Party really memorable

Most Party photographers can do an ok job of photographing guests at a party. It's not difficult with the right camera and a good flash. nearly everyone has a phone with a camera or a pocket camera and they all work. But have you noticed how the millions of pictures on facebook all look the same?

People look like they have been distorted in a funfair mirror and are in shock! They have almost white faces, red eyes, bulging noses and are usually blurred. That's because compact cameras have a very small flash pointing straight into the face, a tiny lens and an even smaller sensor to capture the light. Yes they have millions of pixels but they are all crammed in so tight they can't capture enough data.

When we photograph a party we are using professional full frame cameras with proper lighting. We use expensive bounce flash guns with diffusers to smooth the light. The sensors on our cameras are huge, but capture the same amount of pixels. However each pixel is much larger so we get accurate colours and make the most of the light. Our lenses cost thousands of pounds each, and they don't distort as we get in close.

At most parties we set up a portable photo studio. We usually start with a high key white backdrop which is lit from inside. It gives a smooth white backdrop and shows off the guests outfits. We also use a softbox or two in front of the guests to wrap them gently in soft flattering light. This way we can photograph everyone as they arrive as this is a very quick way to allow guests a full body shoot, 3/4 length shoot and a close-up.

As we shoot, the photographs are sent wirelessly from the photographer to the special large touch screen, and guests can choose the ones they like. We then instantly print a large 9"x6"proper photograph and mount it for them in a display. We charge £10 for this service, and offer 3 prints for the price of 2 if they want more than one.

Then when the initial rush is over we go into the crowd as the pace picks up and get shots of the dancing and general madness. Whilst this is happening the other members of the team convert the photostudio into a special effects green screen studio.

Now guests can pose again in groups or singly and we can give them a stunning digital makeover using the same software the professional use for magazine covers and modelling shots. Then we can put them into a fashion show, onto a magazine cover or even on stage with their favourite band. We have hundreds of different studio backdrops we can use and people love the choices.

Once we have finished if the guest likes what we have done we can print a massive 12"x 8"photograph and frame it for just £15. Or they can have the 9" x 6" at the same prices as before. It's a lot more work for us but usually the initial rush has subsided and we don't mind taking the time.

No other professional photographers could do a full shoot, digital edit, makeover and green screen backdrop for anywhere near this price! Some of our guests have paid £400 for a similar shoot in a shopping centre and we got better results!

At the end of the party we put all the walk around shots on a CD for whoever is hosting the party to use however they like. Then when we get back to the studio we put all the green screen and makeovers onto our website

This is in a private area so the public can't access it. Each guest will have a card with the password on so they can order reprints, downloads for facebook, or huge canvas prints directly from us at sensible pricing.

Then as a special thank you we take all the shots and make you a video set to music of the night as a special souvenir. This is online but can be put in high resolution onto a DVD for just £20. Again, pro photographers will charge up to £250 for this!

So if you would like us to attend your party FREE, get in touch. We can also arrange for a prepaid package so guests don't have to pay for any photos as they are all paid for in advance a a massively reduced rate.
