A photographer in Sydney with great reviews

I’ve been fortunate to receive some wonderful reviews as a photographer in Sydney, here is a sample of what people have said from more than 200 testimonials received.

“I engaged Paul for some classic car photography services on a vehicle I was putting to auction. The communication and level of professionalism from the start was impressive, but more impressive was the quality of images. Expectations far exceeded, I look forward to working with you again in future.”

“I just wanted to firstly say – please pass on my thanks for everything on the day. Everyone at my party commented on how fantastic La Lente was and really attentive to ensuring I had the best photos for my event. La Lente truly made my day and I forgot to thank you in my speech! Because of La Lente, I will definitely be using your services in the future!! You guys will definitely be my go-to for photography! Thanks again for everything Paul – and i am very much looking forward to seeing all my images!”

“Highly recommended. Was a bit sceptical about how someone can have so many positive reviews but it is because it’s well deserved. Great photos, service, responsiveness and amazing value. Very happy with result. Thank you Paul and team.”

“So I have sold and bought quite a few cars over the years through Carsales. Presentation is the key to a good advert – let the buyer see what they are getting, stand out from others etc and this is where La Lente help your car stand out. High quality photos, high resolution mean that your car will look just that little bit (in some case a lot) better than the others.

I recently sold a car that I thought would take quite a while to move so that’s were the investment in some high quality photos, a cut above your shaky hand iPhone efforts came in. Sold on carsales in less than 24 hours and I’m sure the photos played a big part in that.

The good thing about Paul is that he is in to cars which helps the process.”

“La Lente captured wonderful moments from my son’s 21st birthday party. He has a great eye for special moments as well as quirky ones. So pleased not to have the pressure of taking photos myself! Would definitely use them again”

“A friend bought us a photoshoot for a gift after our baby girl was born. Paul was lovely, very professional and able to capture natural shots of our little family. He was patient with our keen puppy and was able to work with a fairly plain canvas in order to create some interesting frames. We were delighted with our photos, would highly recommend!”

“I got a gift certificate for my dad to have a photo shoot done of his car. Paul was exceptional! We had to reschedule at one point due to the weather and Paul was super flexible. On shoot day, everything was done flawlessly – he was precise with timing, very clear on what would work quite nicely and locations around the area. He was also great fun and made the session a memorable one – the photos were incredible and exactly what we envisioned! Would highly recommend La Lente for any photos you would like to get done – thanks again Paul!”

“My family had a wonderful outdoor photo-shoot experience with Paul from La Lente. He chose a great location and set up each shot perfectly. The colours look wonderful. They also worked really well with my 10mo baby, going above and beyond in helping make her smile for every photo.”

I recently asked Paul to take some business shots of me for my speaking , coaching and training business . We met in a cafe at Maroubra and after lunch he did a few snaps in the cafe and on a quiet laneway. Within 24 hours he sent me the final product and I bought all of his 38 photos of me . They were that good . Super impressed with Paul direct no BS style , his speed and value for money

“Engaged Paul to take a photo of my Motorcycle for Bikesales. He was very responsive over the emails when organising the photo shoot. During the shoot, his instructions were clear and easy to work with. The delivery of the photos were timely and very professional. Would definitely recommend La Lente.”

“It was great working with Paul. I could easily tell that he is very passionate about what he does. He was more than happy to work with my ideas on some of the shots on the day. His attention to detail and skills were hard to miss. Knowing all the right angles to go with different backgrounds and lighting helped in the amazing result.

I’m really happy with how the photos came out. Would definitely recommend La Lente to anyone.”

“We recently hired Paul to take photos of our retail location which comprises lifestyle, cafe, plants, garden. He was amazing. Did a thorough job in advance to know what we wanted so we could then work quickly on the day of shooting. He was self sufficient and worked quickly to get the shots done within our timeframe and budget. The shots he delivered were incredible and we literally chose everyone! Would highly recommend.”

“We were gifted a portrait session to celebrate our engagement. I was nothing but awkward but Paul and Lyn helped us to feel comfortable and create a more light hearted shoot. They ensured we left the day with photos we would love! Which we did!!! The turnaround was extremely fast and they offered us a fanatic deal to purchase more photos. Couldn’t recommended them any more!”

After the session I will sort through all the photos taken to choose the best ones for you to choose from.

Frequently asked questions about hiring a photographer in Sydney

Photographers in Sydney will charge different amounts for photography and the reason for the variance is due to a combination of 3 main factors;

  1. The photographer’s experience – usually more experienced people will charge more than those who are just beginning their photography career.
  2. The package inclusions – some photographers will charge for the time taken but also include photo editing or even a few prints as well.
  3. The type of session offered – some photographers might have a studio so you have to travel to them, others will come to your location so there are different lengths of time & complexity needed for either scenario.
 
What are the costs usually made up of?
 
A photo session fee
  • This is typically the base cost to have a session with the photographer for a nominated period of time in a specified location.
 
Digital images and prints
  • Many photographers in Sydney will not include digital images as part of their photo session fee, generally you have to pay to purchase digital images individually.
  • It’s important to keep in mind that you can print a 12 x 18 photo at Officeworks for just $14 so do your research to try and compare the costs of prints vs the photo session time.
 
Additional optional extra costs
  • Once you determine the photo session cost, the base package inclusions and costs for digital files or prints you can then compare the optional extras.
  • These might included things like including elements in the session, traveling beyond a certain distance from their base location, getting specialty products like albums, wall art, or high-end prints made.
 
At the end of the day the biggest difference will be the cost to hire the photographer and the rest can then be easily compared as they are fairly common items offered by all businesses. So your decision making will eventually boil down to the quality of their photography portfolio and overall costs for a session with some included digital files & prints.
 
You can take great photos with a mobile phone, but you won’t be able to re-produce the same quality and composition that a professional photographer typically can. In many cases a photographer will be able to take images in a style, angle and with the right combination of lighting or composition that isn’t achievable by a typical person.
