We are living through an incredible technological revolution. Gone are the days when the grainy Polaroid was a novelty, or the eight bit photo of your dog you took with your razor phone was an acceptable means of visual communication. The level of quality and color we can achieve in modern photographs has increased exponentially.
What’s more, the average consumer has come to expect good photo editing as par for the course. 1.8 billion photos are sent back and forth between internet users each day, and those that undergo some sort of professional photo editing are twice as likely to be shared. If you are in any of the following businesses, then it is vital you seek out photo retouching services for all of your business photography:
1. Wedding Planning
Looking just perfect on the big day is a source of intense focus for most married-folks-to-be. If you offer photo retouching services, color correction services, or photo culling services as part of the wedding photography package, these safety nets will increase your customers’ peace of mind and put you one step ahead of the competition.
2. Real Estate
Did you know that homes photographed professionally with high quality DSLR cameras typically sell for thousands of dollars more than homes photographed by amateurs? More of these homes also sell faster compared to homes sold without professional image styling services. If you’re a real estate broker, consider making the investment in a professional photo book for your homes. There’s a good chance it will earn a return and close a deal down the road.
3. Fine Dining
Or even not-so-fine, rustic dining. Photographing food has become almost as much of an American preoccupation as eating the food itself! If you are in the restaurant business, consider putting as much care into your food images as you do your food ingredients. If it seems ridiculous to you to seek out photo retouching services for that perfect close-up of lasagna, just remember that the perfect lasagna photo might lead someone to have the perfect lasagna meal in person.
