If you’re tired of expensive and difficult to set up photo booths, you should opt for magnet photography for your next event.

One of the biggest trends in the event industry today, photo magnet services are perfect for everything from weddings to corporate parties.

With an on-site magnet photographer, your precious moments are captured and turned into high-quality photo magnets on location. Designed with decorative and custom borders, these photo magnets can be easily attached to the refrigerator or any metal surface. Memories of your special day no longer have to be stored digitally on a computer or lost in the vast world of social media. Your guests can take home their own photo magnets and display them proudly.

Here are some important things to know when hiring a magnet photographer.

Who should you hire?

Choose a professional photographer who is specially trained in event photography. He or she should be able to understand and capture different types of compositions, and he or she should be able to immediately identify important moments to photograph. Since the printing is done on location, there is no time for extensive post-processing.

Don’t be afraid to ask

Find out as much as you can before you hire someone. In addition to the usual questions like price, ask about experience, skills, equipment, etc. How many years of experience does the photographer have in event photography?

It’s important that the photographer you hire be able to take sharp, clear, well-composed photos, even in difficult lighting conditions. Remember, even the most advanced equipment cannot take good pictures if the photographer is not skilled.

How big is the on-site team?

Because the magnetic photography process is fairly simple, it is not necessary to have a large team on site. Usually, at least two people are needed: a professional magnet photographer and a graphic designer to design and print the photo magnets.

What kind of equipment do you use?

High quality cameras

A professional magnet photographer should be equipped with digital SLR cameras with interchangeable lenses for different types of photo montages. It’s best to ask for sample photos from previous events so you can assess the quality of images he or she can provide.

Printer

Will the company use inkjet or sublimation printing? The results of the printed photos may look very similar at first glance, but you will notice a difference in quality after a few checks.

Customizable Frames

One of the most beautiful elements of a photo magnet is the frame design. The ideal service should be able to offer customizable frame designs for your special event. Ask for samples and be sure to check out the variety of design options available.

References

In addition to the equipment used or the services promised, it’s also important to look at the level of rapport the team and the company as a whole can provide. This is known as the “human factor,” which is how well they are able to relate to you and your guests.

Finally, good engagement is one of the most important ingredients to creating a great photo. Be sure to keep this in mind as you go through your pre-engagement checklist.
