Making the Right Choice for Digital Software Preference
Justin Lemaire
If you are doing a sub-section digital photography service as part of your graphic design offerings, you might be wondering if graphic design software is actually necessary. While there are a lot of people that look at digital photography as an excuse to experiment with graphic design in a particular software package, there are also many people that are interested in digital photography in the same way that they would be interested in conventional photography. In other words they want to take a display the pictures without any other interference.
As a starting out graphic designer I would say that there is nothing wrong with this. Actually, the digital photographers that I hire for projects are almost always photographers that do not use graphic design software. I find these people to be better skilled as photographers because they don’t use the graphic design software to cover up their mistakes, but that’s really just a personal choice that I make. The decision is ultimately up to you but if you want to save some money at the start there is no reason with going for digital photography sans software, especially if you are just starting to develop your photographic skills.
