Quality and beautiful photo is the dream of every person. Because photography will forever capture the never-repeating moments of our lives. It’s nice to remember interesting life situations from the photos taken. Probably, in the modern world there is no longer such a person who would not have his own camera. Many of these cameras were bought for a lot of money and are professional. However, professional photographers can work wonders and create real masterpieces.
Many families get used to the work of a certain photographer and invite him to shoot a wedding, pregnancy, birth and the first steps of a baby. They use the services of one photographer for the reason that they get used to high-quality shots and completely trust him. If you do not have a good photographer in mind, then you can use the help of a professional photographer who will demonstrate his portfolio as sample shots.
A true professional in his field knows how to take live shots: moments of a radiant smile, gestures, unusual poses. The lens of a real photographer allows you to capture the most successful angles and highlights. In the modern world, there are various additional devices for the camera that allow you to create unusually beautiful photos.
The photo studio in Krasnoyarsk has specialists in its staff who can create interesting photos even on difficult photo shoots. They know many nuances that will decorate the image and emphasize its individuality. Such photo shoots are very popular:
- photo shoots of pregnant women;
- photo for lovers;
- photo of children.
Photo shoots of pregnant women
It is most beneficial to take a photo of a woman in a position at the 8th month, when the tummy is most noticeable. In order to make the photos interesting, the young couple is asked to dress in the same color palette. Also, many photographers work in tandem with make-up artists who help make the most successful make-up for partners.
Baby photo shoots
The photographer takes the photo without a flash. Most often, shots are taken in the child's home, so the photographer must be a real professional to make them high-quality and lively.
Photo session of children
This kind of photo shoot is considered one of the most difficult, because it is due to the fact that the child is not able to pose for a long time. That is why photographers choose a place in nature for a photo session, because there the child will be interested in the outside world and will be most relaxed. In nature, the child will do the usual things, and it will be easier for the photographer to catch bright shots.
Do not spare money for a quality photographer, because such photos will delight you for the rest of the time.

The father of a friend of the author who wrote this article has died. In memory of him, she wanted to keep his desktop, but she had absolutely no place to put it. Then she took a photo, and now she can look at him whenever she wants. Interestingly, photographs sometimes look much better than the actual thing that is captured on them.
5. Photos help you collect ideas.
Photography is a great way to capture an idea. And you can collect your own ideas and the ideas of other users, for example, on your page on Pinterest.com, so that you can use them later.

Darina Kazak
A few centuries ago, people came up with an amazing way to stop time - photography. It is she who allows you to capture happy moments and Beautiful places. The photographer is like a magician - he is able not only to catch the right moment, but also to do it skillfully. I had the chance to talk with one of these sorceresses. Once upon a time, for Darina Kazak, photography was a simple hobby, but over time, the hobby grew into a favorite job. The girl gladly told about all the intricacies of her profession and the wonders that a photographer can create.
– Darina, how did your passion for photography begin?
“I have always loved to travel. Of course, I wanted to capture everything new that I managed to see: unusual places, picturesque landscapes, interesting people, completely different from us ... When all this fell under the scope of my lens, I experienced a storm of pleasant emotions. Probably, then I fell in love with photography, I realized that this is exactly what I would like to do in life.
– You were educated at the Minsk State Linguistic University. Was the knowledge gained at the university useful in your real profession?
– Yes, I can say with confidence that I use the acquired knowledge quite often. At university I studied two languages: English and French. Therefore, when I shoot abroad, I have no problems communicating with foreign clients.
To be honest, until recently it seemed to me that I know French poorly. But one day, when I found myself in an unfamiliar area of Paris, where there was not a single English speaker, I realized: when you really need it, you will speak.
How and where did you study photography? Do you have enough knowledge and experience now?
– My photography training began at the Studio 67 photography school, where in two years I was able to attend all kinds of courses and master classes.
I got the chance to work with the best photographers Belarus. I am especially grateful to the portrait photographer Yegor Voynov, who instilled in me a love for the portrait genre of photography. I like to study, because this way I can discover something new again and again. I think every profession needs to grow and develop, and photography is no exception.
What does it mean to be a photographer? What qualities should he have?
The photographer should always be a little crazy. But, of course, on this list important qualities does not end.
First, the photographer is a responsible and punctual person. After all, it is important for the customer not only to start shooting at the appointed time, but also to receive the material at the agreed time.
Secondly, the photographer must be sociable, be able to win over and love to communicate, since our profession forces us to constantly contact with a variety of people.
Most often, communication brings only positive emotions, but sometimes the opposite happens. In such situations, the photographer will need the desire and ability to understand the other person.
In general, being a photographer means feeling, letting through everything that happens around you. Your photos will always reflect the way you see people and the world around you.
Why is photography so popular now?
– I think the popularity of this profession is due to the fact that many people do not quite understand exactly what a photographer does. A person who does not have an idea about the work of a photographer sees only the shooting process and the finished photograph. But the most important and longest stage is the processing of images. Sometimes you have to spend several sleepless nights to ensure that the picture becomes truly beautiful, it turns out the way the customer wants to see it. For him, the magical transformation of photography remains behind the scenes, so many do not even realize how much time and effort it actually takes to work with the material.
Today, most of the "photographers" are people who buy equipment and do not know how to use it. But after all, if I have a flute, I won’t be able to earn money even in transition until I learn how to play it beautifully!
What separates a professional photographer from an amateur?
– This is a very difficult question, it cannot be answered unambiguously. The fact is that today everyone can be a photographer. Some mistakenly perceive this profession as an easy job. Therefore, among people who call themselves professionals, there are often those who make gross mistakes in their work.
At the same time, in our country you can find amateurs who are able to make masterpieces. They masterfully master technical side photographs and are able to show ordinary things bright and memorable.
In my opinion, it is much more important to be a photographer at heart - this is someone who gives himself entirely to the cause. He can spend hours looking for ideas for his work and he definitely finds them! He can see who he needs in a crowd of hurrying people and, having taken a series of shots, he will be extremely happy, even if the shooting was free.
A photographer in his soul is an artist who sells what he writes, and does not write what is sold ... It is important that such a person not only works with the soul, but also looks for this soul in others. I think that such a photographer can be called a professional.
What do you find the most difficult part of your job?
In my line of work, it can be difficult to please every client. After all, everyone has different tastes and views on what kind of photography should be. Usually the customer trusts me completely. But sometimes the photographer has to defend his opinion, explain why he takes a picture this way and not otherwise. We need to look for a compromise.
The resulting photo is the result joint work with the customer. And we are happy with this result together. By the way, I often continue to communicate with clients even after the order is completed. With someone just a good relationship, and some even became close friends.
What do you like to shoot the most? Why?
– I like working with children because they are spontaneous, honest and sincere. I also work with pleasure at weddings, where sometimes I shed a tear myself at a touching moment ...
But most of all I love to make portraits, because every person is unique. Before shooting, I always carefully look at a person, trying to understand him, see, feel what is hidden inside him. It's kind of like seeing a psychologist. In portrait photographs, I try to show people as they are. My main rule: the frame must be real. For portrait photography, mostly girls turn to me, so it is important for me to capture and emphasize femininity in photographs.
- What is the benefit to society from the work of a photographer?
- It seems to me that there is nothing more touching than the joyful faces of mothers who see their beloved children in photographs. If I shoot a young couple, then their happiness and love are always reflected in the photographs. These shots are real, they are incomparable with anything. When you look at these pictures, the soul immediately becomes warmer.
I would even call my profession “phototherapy”.
– Photographer is a creative profession. Where do you get inspiration for your work?
- I really love nature. When I feel low, I can be recharged by everything related to nature, especially travel. Sometimes a good movie or music helps. But the little things inspire me the most: fresh morning air, a child's smile, a kind word. I think the best engine is what brings us joy.
