Dallas event photography: Capturing compelling moments.
I often say to potential customers - “we photograph events of all shapes, sizes and personalities.” And you know what? It’s the absolute truth. We photograph large events and small events and events of every size in between. We photograph indoor events and outdoor events, events at restaurants, events at convention centers and events at concert venues. We photograph events with a serious tone, events with a playful tone and events with a party tone. Over the years, we have truly seen it all.
As event photographers Dallas, our success hinges on finding moments and capturing them with excellence. We are tasked with photographing in a way that the images can be used across many mediums, for days, weeks, months and maybe even years to come. This skill is what I call “capturing compelling moments.” And it’s what we do best.
Let me give you an example. A few weeks ago, one of our excellent JWCannon Creative event photographers Dallas was out at a large corporate event in downtown Dallas. He gave me an update call and shared that the event planner didn’t have many specific shot needs and gave the simple direction of “just shoot whatever.”
Talk about a green light!
Here’s the thing - when you hire us, you’re hiring expert event photographers Dallas who are seasoned. We’ve collectively shot hundreds and hundreds of events all across the United States. For novice photographers, a no-shot-list event might be intimidating. For our team at JWCannon Creative, it’s an opportunity to spread our wings and show our stuff.
When I saw the photos from this particular event, I thought “he’s done it again… wow!” Our photographer, with no specifics and no shot list, created compelling photos that can be used time and time again by this client. Five hours of shooting translated to images that can be used for marketing, in-house event promotion, social media posts, public relations media kits and so much more.
Here’s what he did so well: he found the compelling moments and he captured them with excellence. A great event photographer does these things with precision and creativity:
They find compelling moments. Not everything is worth photographing. Just because someone takes 4,000 photos doesn’t mean that they got any good ones! Some events require a little bit of a hunt to find compelling moments. Some events require patience. Then, all of the sudden - boom! The moment is there and you’re ready to capture it.
They see what others don’t. Artists are known by their eye. Event photographers Dallas are known by it, too. Our photographers see color, angles, people and movement in a way that the average person does not. It’s why our images are advertising-worthy, social media post-worthy and print-worthy.
They never distract from the moment. We’ve all seen it - a compelling moment is happening and a novice photographer all but ruins the moment because they become the focal point instead of the moment. There’s nothing that makes me more crazy! Great event photographers Dallas know how to blend into the event moments like a camouflaged fish on the ocean floor. When a photographer captures a compelling moment and the client says “I didn’t even see them in the room”.... That’s the ultimate win.
Compelling moments are what we do. We find them, we photograph them and we deliver show-stopper images that have clients floored time and time again. Be smart and contact JWCannon Creative today.
