Situational Analysis
Private photography has become polarized. The increase of people taking their selfie has empowered careful control of one's image. Recently, ABC News reports a trend on the practice of hiring personal paparazzi to document family vacations.
Until recently, vacations that cost thousands of dollars were being captured on cameras that cost only a few dollars. But some people are changing that. Prices with New York pohottrek tour goes as low as $137.50 for a “private photo walking tour” in New York City, which is basically a regular tour, but with a designated photographer. It was inevitable; in the age of digital reproduction, documenting an event has become integral to experiencing it. The tour was started in 2005 and their clients are part of a growing trend: people paying to have their vacations professionally photographed. Their clients say the result was clean, crisp, blur-free images ideal for holiday cards and brag books are worth it. Furthermore, clients evaluated the tour as a wonderful and invaluable service that is only provided by New York private photo walking tour. From my perspective and research, there are no tour companies that are offering private photo walking tours in Vancouver now.
