Event Photographer

An Event Photographer is responsible for capturing high-quality images at various events, such as weddings, corporate functions, and parties, to visually document and preserve special moments. Their duties typically involve liaising with clients to understand their specific requirements, planning the shoot to ensure all important aspects are covered, and using professional photography equipment to capture the event's atmosphere and key highlights.

Event Photographers edit and retouch photos, deliver final images to clients, and often manage post-event tasks, such as creating albums or online galleries​.
