Why book a professional photographer?

 

If you have arrived at our website, you already know how important it is to book a professional photographer.  Here at the British Institute of Professional Photography, our photographers have been through a rigorous process of training and mentoring. Their work has been reviewed by some of the best photographers in the world and they have shown that they have a sustainable, robust business, and of course the technical ability that you would expect from any professional.  

At the BIPP we have checked that each qualified member has the correct level of insurance, holds a health and safety policy and has the ability to have a good workflow; giving businesses and the public consumers of photography the confidence of knowing they will be hiring a technically accomplished and professional photographer.
