5 Gründe, warum Ihre Veranstaltung von einem professionellen Eventfotografen profitieren wird
Das gleiche gilt für die Planung gewerblicher Veranstaltungen und Firmenveranstaltungen. Ein professioneller Eventfotograf wird wesentlich mehr leisten als ein Laie mit einer Kamera es könnte.
Bei der SeeSaw Event Photo Agency nehmen wir uns Zeit, um die Bedürfnisse und Anforderungen unserer Kunden zu verstehen. Durch die Dokumentation unbezahlbarer Momente aus dem richtigen Winkel und in ansprechenden Farbtönen werden wir der Bedeutung dieser Veranstaltungen gerecht.
Es gibt eine Vielzahl von Gründen, weshalb Ihre Veranstaltung eines professionellen Eventfotografen bedarf.
We’re here to share die 5 Hauptgründe, weshalb sich unsere Kunden dafür entscheiden, mit uns zu arbeiten:
Die menschliche Komponente
Es gehört so viel mehr zur Fotografie als das bloße Anfertigen von Aufnahmen.
Professionelle Eventfotografen erfassen unter anderem menschliche Emotionen, Ausdrücke und die Atmosphäre in ihren Fotos.
Sie erzählen mit ihrem Geschick und ihrer Erfahrung in Bild gefasste Geschichten fesselnder, visueller Momentaufnahmen für ihre Kunden. Die richtige Art von Bild spricht wortlos Bände.
Erfassen der bedeutenden Momente
Die Arbeit mit einem professionellen Fotografen ermöglicht es Ihnen, sich auf die Durchführung Ihrer Veranstaltung zu konzentrieren, ohne sich darum sorgen zu müssen, die richtigen Bilder zu schießen. Ein Fotograf, der Ihre Bedürfnisse kennt, wird wachsam selbständig nach guten Fotogelegenheiten Ausschau halten.
Doch nicht bloß das, sondern er wird zudem sicherstellen, dass die aufgenommenen Bilder die Schlüsselmomente Ihres Events verkörpern.
Eine gute Kamera ist dabei ebenso wichtig wie Fähigkeiten und Erfahrung. Selbst unter schlechten Lichtverhältnissen ist ein professioneller Fotograf in der Lage, wunderschöne Momente festzuhalten. Sie können sich darauf verlassen, dass Ihr Fotograf Sie vor Ihren Vorgesetzten und Kollegen im rechten Licht präsentieren wird.
Wir alle können hunderte von Fotos schießen, doch professionelle Fotografie schafft visuelle Kunst durch das Objektiv einer Kamera.
Die subtile Kunst der Fotographie
Sie können über das gesamte Sortiment an Fotografiezubehör und Accessoires verfügen. Professionelle Linsen, Blitzabschwächer, Lichtformer, Stative, das volle Programm. Doch für das Endresultat sind vor allem künstlerisches Gespür und Erfahrung entscheidend.
Capturing meaningful yet beautiful photographs that tell a story is a subtle art. Das Erfassen bedeutungsvoller und gleichzeitig ausdrucksstarker Bilder, die eine Geschichte erzählen ist eine subtile Kunst.
Eine Kunst, deren Kultivierung Jahren an Erfahrung und eines natürlichen Gespürs bedarf. Genau das unterscheidet Amateure von erfahrenen Profis.
Fotobearbeitung für den letzten Schliff
Diesen großartigen Bildern kann nun durch einige letzte Handgriffe unter Verwendung von Bildbearbeitungssoftware der letzte Schliff verliehen werden. Wir können das Bild aufhellen oder sogar die Farben für besondere Tiefe anpassen.
Die Möglichkeiten der professionellen Fotobearbeitungen sind endlos. Beauftragen Sie einen professionellen Eventfotografen mit Erfahrung in Bildbearbeitungssoftware. Für Ihr Geld erhalten Sie einen echten Mehrwert.
Qualitativ hochwertige, professionelle Bilder für die sozialen Medien.
Für wichtige Geschäftsveranstaltungen sollten Sie zweifellos einen professionellen Eventfotografen engagieren. Unabhängig davon, ob es sich um eine Produkteinführung oder eine wichtige Konferenz handelt, professionelle Bilder sind unbezahlbar. Sie können diese für Pressemitteilungen, Social-Media-Plattformen und weitere Werbeträger verwenden. Letzten Endes besteht Ihr Ziel darin, möglichst viel mediale Aufmerksamkeit zu generieren.
Klare und beeindruckende Bilder werden einen starken Markenauftritt und eine positive Wahrnehmung in der Öffentlichkeit garantieren. Nachdem Sie so viel Zeit, Mühe und Ressourcen in Ihre Veranstaltung investiert haben, wäre es bedauerlich, wenn die visuelle Berichterstattung dem nachstünde.
Gehen Sie keine Risiken ein. Engagieren Sie einen professionellen Eventfotografen, um diese unbezahlbaren Momente festzuhalten.
Die Suche nach dem richtigen Eventfotografen ist Ihre Mühe wert. Lassen Sie sich Zeit. Durchstöbern Sie die Portfolio und Kundenlisten der infrage kommenden Fotografen und evaluieren Sie deren Fähigkeiten. Entscheiden Sie sich jedoch insbesondere für jemanden, dessen Stil und Herangehensweise mit Ihren Anforderungen und Präferenzen übereinstimmt.

7 Creative Ways to Have an Unforgettable Company Christmas
Make the Most of Berlin’s Winter Festivities: :Creative Ways to Have an Unforgettable Company Christmas:
It’s that time of the year again. Berlin once again transforms into a Christmas fairytale and magical winter wonderland.
The streets lined with dazzling Christmas lights.Inviting aromas of sugar-roasted almonds, spiced mulled wine, and fresh gingerbread fill the air.
Are you feeling the Christmas spirit yet?
If you’re one of the many tasked with organizing your company Christmas party, we’ve got a few ideas for you.
Why not do something different for an unforgettable company event this year?
Here are 7 creative ways for you to pull off a legendary company Christmas.
One that even Santa would be proud of.
1. Make it a themed party
Give people a reason to dress up in silly costumes! Pick a cool theme though, such as an 80s retro theme. Think groovy mirror balls, fluorescent colors, Rubik’s cubes, and retro telephones with the dial. If you like the sound of that, read these comprehensive tips on throwing an 80s-themed corporate Christmas party.
If your colleagues and bosses are open to the idea of taking the party out on the streets, you could also organize a themed Christmas market crawl. Just like a pub crawl, you’ll be checking out Berlin’s most happening Christmas markets but dressed to the theme. Not suitable for big groups for coordination purposes, but ideal for small groups of up to 10 people.
2. Set up themed photo booths with Christmas props
To make it even more memorable, you could also set up self-operated, themed photo booths complete with Christmas props. Examples include Santa hats, mustaches, and reindeer antlers. Go on, you know you want to.
The machine prints out photos on-the-spot and include the company logo for added branding. What could be more hilarious than silly group pictures of your intoxicated colleagues and bosses?
3. Publicize it on social media
This is more than just a company Christmas party. It’s an opportunity for positive employer branding. Remember that people tend to focus on job-hunting in the new year. This is the ideal time to promote your company’s friendly and down-to-earth working culture.
Your employees will be taking selfies and wefies during the party. You know they will. Ask them to post their pictures on Instagram and Facebook with branded hashtags (e.g. #bmwfrankfurtchristmas). Your company’s social credibility will definitely see a huge boost.
4. Hire a professional event photographer
There are many reasons to hire a professional event photographer. One of the key reasons is to capture those priceless moments in a beautiful yet natural ambiance. Everyone wants to look good, but it’s just as important to preserve those memories in a candid manner. Here are a few more reasons why you should consider leaving it to the pros if you’re still undecided.
High-quality photos of the event are valuable for social media marketing. They will further reinforce positive employer branding for the company.
5. Broadcast live on Facebook and Instagram
Ask the event photographer to broadcast live videos of the event on your company’s social media feeds. People love short videos, especially when they’re live. Being active on social media shows that your company is relevant and up-to-date on the latest trends. If you’re looking to attract talented Millennials into your workforce, you’ll want to stay social.
6. Share photos post-event
Make the most of those beautiful photos. Share them on Facebook and Instagram, making sure to tag employees for added exposure and visibility. If possible, add personalized captions under each photo as short narratives. This makes it more interesting and relatable to viewers.
7. Turn prints into branded greeting cards
Choose the best prints to turn into personalized greeting cards for the staff. It would make for a simple but unique souvenir of the party. We’re so used to our digital lifestyles that it’s nice to have a physical photo we can hold in our hands for a change. As an added bonus, you can also incorporate the company logo for subtle branding.
We’ll be waiting to see your company Christmas celebration on social media. Tag us in your posts, or better yet, talk to us about your event photography needs in Frankfurt. We look forward to capturing beautiful moments at your upcoming Christmas do.

Photo Editing: A Vital Part of Professional Event Photography
Event Photographer’s Photo Editing Work Flow
Writers make several rounds of edits to their work before delivering the final product. Professional photographers are no different. Editing and post-production are vital to ensure the client receives the highest quality images.
The Icing on the Cake
At SeeSaw Event Photo Agency, we see editing and post-production as the icing on the cake. You wouldn’t want a cake without icing, would you? I’m a big advocate of sharing, so I’m sharing the secret of my icing with you.
A Process of Selection and Elimination
During an average 3-day conference, I tend to end up with between 2,500 to 3,500 photos. Not all these will be suitable or good enough for promoting the event. Some of the shots might be blurry, out of focus, with poor composition — it’s a process of selection and elimination.
Edit While Photographing
I start the editing process when I’m taking the photos. I’ll decide on-the-spot which photos will be most useful in helping the client promote their event. Rather than shooting like a lunatic, I’ll stop and think about the best angle, composition, and human reaction. If the situation requires me to work fast, I’ll adjust my approach.
Finding the Best Photo Opportunities
Good photos should have the following elements:
- The main subject (e.g. the keynote speaker, a group of people networking, audience participation)
- Pleasing aesthetics and good composition (e.g. symmetry, texture, depth)
- Good lighting
- Company branding visuals
You might not always get all these elements, but try to get as many of them as possible. These are essential components to ensure the client has quality photos for promotional use.
Selection and Elimination Using Stars
I use a simple star system to filter out the good photos from the bad.
Phase 1: 1 Star
The process starts with me going through all the photos and relying on my immediate instincts. I’ll look for the four elements highlighted above. If a photo feels right and I like it (even just a little), I’ll give it 1 star. You won’t believe how many photos you’ll cut this way. From 3000 photos, I end up with 1200. That’s over 50% of the photos filtered out.
Phase 2: 2 Stars
Repeating the process, I go through the 1200 photos and give 2 stars to the ones I like. That brings the filtered photos down to 500.
Phase 3: Final Selection
This is where I get rid of duplicate shots and those that don’t tell the full story of the event. This brings the final number down to 350 to 400 photos. If necessary, you can repeat the process until you have the number of photos you want. Based on personal experience, you should have about 150 to 250 usable photos for each day of a big event.
Go Through Your Checklist
Make sure you’ve photographed all the key figures (e.g. speakers, presenters). For trade fairs, make sure you document each stand or booth. Clients should brief the photographer on their specific requirements. Otherwise, the photographer should ask if they have any doubts.
Post-Production
Using Adobe Lightroom, this is when I add the final touches. I make minor adjustments such as exposure and color correction, contrast, details enhancements, noise reduction, and cropping. For poor lighting conditions, always make visual adjustments for the best results.
I see post-production as an essential part of photography service. Like I said earlier, you wouldn’t want a cake without the icing, would you? Likewise, why should you settle for photos that aren’t edited and post-produced?
