We are trying to decide between two main photographers right now. The main difference between them is the number of photos we'd get and how many of them are touched up.
Photographer A:
-We get a disk with ALL the pics he takes (minus the ones with closed eyes, stupid faces). Might be close to 800 pics.
-ALL the pics will be run though a colour corrector
-30 of the pics will be professionally touched up (i.e.effects like black/white, vintage, white washing, etc added; lighting perfected, etc.). These 30 can be used to blow up but if we wanted to blow up some of the non-30 we may have to get the photog (for a fee) to do some post processing on it.
Other: He's foremost a photojournalist and does weddings on the side for extra $.
Photographer B:
-We get a disk ONLY with the photos that are professionally touched up in post processing
-they guarantee 250 pics at a minimum but it usually higher (300-350)
-the 250+ are ALL professionally touched up (not by the photog that takes them but by their studio editor)
-their professional editing of these 250+ includes black/white, effects like vintage or white washing, post processing light effects, taking out things like garbage bins or parking signs that may not look good)
Other: They are a wedding studio. The photogs shoot and the editor does the post processing. We would have a say in how many pics were black/white, how many had effects added but the editor is the one who looks at all the photos taken and decides which ones have the potential for detailed processing.
I know that quality is more important that quantity. But something in the back of my mind is telling me that quantitiy is better value for our dollar because we get more pics. BUT this could mean getting 6 pics of the same pose.
So what do you think is better: 800 photos with 30 being professionally finished OR 300 pics that are all professionally finished??
Thanks!
