Introduction:

CUT connects you with many photographers — but how do you know who’s right for your project? Whether you need sports action shots, product images, or event coverage, here’s a quick guide to help you choose the best match.

 1. Define What You Need First

Before browsing profiles, be clear about your expectations:

• What type of shoot is it? (Sports, food, portrait…)
• When and where?
• Do you need photos, videos, or both?
• What’s your budget?

✅ Tip: The clearer your project, the easier it is to find the right match.

2. Check Their Task Details

Each photographer creates a “Task” — a service offer.
Pay attention to:

• Equipment used (e.g., iPhone 16, DSLR, Sony A7III…)
• What’s included (number of photos, video options, delivery time)
• Pricing and Add-ons
• Description style: is it clear, honest, confident?

✅ Photographers who list realistic services and speak transparently often deliver better results.

3. Browse Their Portfolio & Reviews

Look at their sample photos: do they fit your taste and purpose?
Read reviews from other clients (if available) and look for these signs:

• Reliability (on time, responsive)
• Image quality
• Communication style

No reviews yet? No problem — some new photographers are highly motivated and talented. Feel free to give them a chance!

 4. Use the Chat Before Booking

Once you like someone’s profile, send them a quick message. Ask:

• Are they available on your date?
• Can they adapt the task to your needs?
• Are there any examples they didn’t upload?

This small chat helps avoid confusion later.

5. Book With Confidence Through CUT

Once everything is clear, hire the photographer directly through CUT.
CUT offers:

• Secure payment via CMI or Cash Plus
• File delivery through the platform
• Support in case of problems

Your money is only released once you receive and approve the work.

🎯 Final Thought:

Choosing the right photographer isn’t about the most expensive gear — it’s about someone who fits your vision, communicates well, and delivers what you need.

🎥 On CUT, we make that match simple.
