Q Why do you think it’s important for photographers to have their work printed? Having work printed is essential for photographers, as it brings a tangible aspect to their creations, letting them share and showcase their artistry in a physical format. Printed photographs evoke stronger emotional connections and can be appreciated in ways digital images cannot. Furthermore, quality prints also serve as portfolio pieces that can impress clients and contribute to a photographer’s professional growth.
