very first thing you need is the best camera available. An
excellent camera set would cost around RM14,000 or USD3,500 and above. Once
you bought a piece of this, maintenance cost would come into the
picture. The same set of camera shall be serviced, upgraded and
most probably fixed, when something goes wrong with it.
Moreover, digital equipments’ value depreciates much faster than analog equipments. These costs are all taken into

of the equipments.

she might charge higher than less skilled ones.

on time taken for his commitment to that particular event.
4)
Service (post-photography)
After each session of photography, editing work comes next. He
or she needs to choose the best group of pictures to be edited.
If needed, these pictures need to be edited for its’ brightness,
contrast, color, hue, color compositions and etc. Satisfied with
the quality, the photo will be printed. For the magazine or
design album, graphic design skills are needed prior to produce
exclusive effect on the pictures. Compilations of pictures, the
selections made on good combination are needed for harmonious
flow. Reprints are done if needed to fully satisfy the
customers. In the end, the printed photos are bounded with UV
protections before going through the binding process and sorted
out into the album which later goes to the customer.
