    Default Looking for photographer in Atlanta area!

    I am looking for a photographer in the Atlanta area to do a shoot with two Fr-s's. I am about 1.5 hours south of Atlanta but we are willing to make the ride up to Atlanta for the shoot. If anyone can point me in the direction of or knows a good automotive photographer I would be very much appreciative.

    There are a lot of us here in the Atlanta area, of varying styles and price - some are full-time professionals, and some are not. You might wish to find what style of photo(s) that you are looking for, then see which photographer shoots that style.

    I really don't know what style I'm looking for.

    Just look around at a lot of the work of the local photographers and then you will find some that you like, and others that you might not like. It's really a subjective issue, and some photographers tend to gravitate to a specific style.
    An example is rig shots - some do them, some do not (usually, they don't have the equipment/rig).
    Another example is strobed (lit) shots - some photographers shoot a lot of them, others only shoot natural light.
    Post-processing is another big area to look at - some photographers do some basic color corrections only, others break down a photo and spend hours processing each individual piece of the car and background.
    Additionally, you need to know how large you plan to print (if you plan to print), to make certain that the final photo can be printed at the size that you require. A 4 ft by 6 ft print needs a lot more pixel resolution than a 4 in by 6 in print will need.

    Yeah I hear what your saying, I was just hoping that if anyone contacted me or if I was directed towards someone that I could view some of their past work and go off of that. All i know is this would be my first professional shoot so I just want the best quality and best locations possible. I would just be posting them on the internet.
