Want to get cheap places to get professional photos taken without needing to hire a photographer for an entire day?
If you’re looking to create a captivating brand, stand out from the crowd or just want a smart but pretty picture then this is the right place to be in. Today I’ll share with you some cheap places to get professional photos taken and more useful tips around this.
The first place I managed to get a professional picture (this was for free) was at a high level marketing event in Austin Texas with industry legends such as Todd Falcone, Ray Higdon and Joe Dispenza.
All I did was ask the photographer there if he could please get a picture of me with some kind of cool backdrop. If you can’t find a cool backdrop you can get someone to change this for you (read on for how to do this).
If the photographer is a bit reluctant, you could offer him a tip or maybe buy him a drink if he’s allowed…even if it cost you $20, it would be well worth it to have a professional photo that you could use with anything! So see if there are any events near you which could be cheap places to get professional photos taken.
It may be worth asking the event organisers if there is a photographer there so you can use this strategy. Here’s the one that was taken of me:
You can also get the photos edited in any other way using a service called Fiverr that lets you hire people for one off jobs starting at $5. without needing to create or sign a contract.
For example, I had the background from 20 pictures removed for $5 and I got it back in under 48 hours. I also wrote a Fiverr Review blog post you might find handy.
Another option if you’re struggling to find cheap places to get professional photos taken, is to round up a group of friends and for all of you to go and get some photographs done together.
You may be able to get a group discount if you all go together, as the most time consuming thing for a photographer (aside from editing) is usually all of the setup required, rather than taking the actual photos. If you don’t ask though, you don’t get!
