Hello, my name is Alan Duretz and I am a photographer. Most of today's digital cameras do a very good job of taking well exposed images, certainly much better than the good old film days. So why should you invest in a professional? Oh, just to give you a few reasons:
1) Posing
2) Lighting
3) Depth of field & exposing for subject-not background
4) Timing of once in a lifetime events
5) Capturing the flow unobtrusively
6) Knowing how to elicit the expressions that make an album
I could go on, but to sum it up...lot's of good people are photogpraphers, I capture emotion & expressions!
