Want some great pictures for your portfolio? Looking for a company that can manage to click important moments at an event? Well, New York City has many options. Hiring a photographer can be confusing, at least for new clients. In this post, we have listed 9 tips that may come handy. After all, knowing the basics is important.

1.First things first, understand your requirements before you search for agencies for photography in NYC. You need to know the kind of images you need, along with the aspects that matter in the final clicks. For example, if you are shooting your model portfolio, you need a team of experienced photographers, who have done similar projects in the past.

2.Ask around. Not sure of any service in NYC? Well, you can always talk to your friends, colleagues and other known people to find a few recommendations. With tried and tested services, you can be assured of excellent services. Alternatively, you can look around for ads and options on the internet, but make sure to check the other things mentioned below.

3.Understand their expertise. Yes, every agency or production company differs in its approach and services. Depending on the event, you need a team that understands the overall nature and size of the project. You can discuss their range of work and the kind of projects they have done so far.

4.Know the team. Unless you are hiring a freelancer, you must know the team that will work on the project. Take an appointment with your selected firm and discuss the individual experience and work of each photographer (if you are hiring more than one).

5.Ask for references. If an agency claims great things about their work, they must have enough clients. Ask the company to offer a few references, which can be crosschecked and verified for knowing their work better.

6.Check samples of previous work. When it comes to capturing moments and faces, past work is your best reference. Talk to the top agencies about their projects and seek a few samples. Companies offer the same on email or form of a CD, but this is an aspect you cannot ignore.

7.Ask for a quote. No matter whether it’s a personal event or a corporate affair or an exclusive shoot for models, you must know the prices in advance. Most companies will send their photographers and executives, who will understand the requirements, based on which the quote will be decided.

8.Support is important. For certain shoots and events, you have to have enough support from the concerned agency. They must be flexible with their timings and should accommodate the need, as required, even if the extra services are chargeable.

9.Are they available? Not all companies will be available on a given date. Long before you check their work or ask for a quote, you need to know if the company is available to take up the project in the first place.
