Searching For A Commercial Photographer

There are numerous techniques you can employ when needing to source out a local commercial photographer. You have many options when searching for a local commercial photographer.

Below are some search options that recommend:

1. You will almost certainly find local photographers in the Local Printed Business Directory. Unless you are in an extremely rural area where you may need to search further. 

Since the advent of online directories, many commercial photographers have stopped using paid printed directories. This is why strongly recommend you do an internet search to ensure that you don't overlook these photographers.

2. Online directories: You can find both specialist directories for photography and general business directories online. Online directories will often have a link to the photographer's home page, which is a significant advantage over printed directories. Try to limit your search to 'commercial photographers'. 

3. Search engines: Google. Yahoo. Ask. MSN. Bing. You will be presented with a complete list of local photographers. You can narrow your search to include commercial photography, as with all searches. 

4. Professional photographic bodies: AOP, MPA (Master Photographers Association), and the British Institute of Professional Photography are just a few examples of professional photographic bodies in Vancouver. 

So it's highly recommended using a mix of all the search methods, putting together a shortlist, then carefully comparing and finally selecting the right one for you.
