Review the actual portfolio, not marketing highlights. Good photographers show 3-5 complete past events to demonstrate consistent quality across a full shoot, not just cherry-picked best-of images. 'Same photographer who shot the wedding' is the key — some studios assign junior photographers while marketing with senior portfolios.

Check deliverables specifics. Ask exactly: how many edited photos (a wedding should deliver 400-800 edited images; a corporate event 150-400), in what resolution, by what deadline (2-6 weeks standard), with what editing scope (colour correction minimum; full retouching at additional cost), and what rights (personal use? commercial use?).

For videography, verify raw footage style vs. edited deliverable. 'Full-day videography' can mean a 3-minute highlight reel or a 45-minute full documentary. Length, editing style, music licensing, and final deliverable format (MP4, BluRay, cloud download) should all be contracted.

Check backup plans. Cameras fail, photographers get sick. Reputable studios have backup equipment on-site and substitute photographer arrangements. Ask about these specifically.

For commercial or product work, verify image rights and usage scope. Photographers retain copyright by default in Singapore; usage rights need to be explicit in the contract (personal use only, social media, website, print advertising).

HDB-based sessions: home-based family portraits, newborn sessions at home, intimate wedding coverage. Rates S$350-1,200 for 2-3 hour sessions.

Condo clubhouse / hotel photography: weddings, corporate events, engagement sessions at premium venues. Rates S$1,500-5,500 for full event coverage.

Destination / landed / overseas shoots: pre-wedding shoots at overseas locations (Korea, Taiwan, Bali), destination weddings, landed garden weddings. Rates S$3,500-15,000+ including travel and multi-day coverage.

Bait-and-switch photographer: Studio uses senior photographer's portfolio to sell, assigns junior photographer on the day. Confirm specific photographer name in contract.

No deliverable specifications: 'Full-day photography' without specifying photo count, editing scope, and deadline produces disputes.

Overly polished portfolio: Heavily Photoshopped or AI-enhanced portfolios may not reflect actual capture quality. Ask for less-edited or RAW samples to verify technical skill.

No backup equipment: Professional photographers carry 2 camera bodies minimum, multiple lenses, backup batteries, backup memory cards. 'Just my camera' is amateur.

Late deliverables as a pattern: Some photographers are chronically 3-6+ months late on delivery. Check Google reviews for delivery timing complaints.
