Portland is the largest city In Oregon. The city is known for its Coffee loving and Beer frenzy crowd of people. Also, since the time they supported Lesbian Gay Bi-sexual and Transgender communities, they were hailed as one of the most open minded people in the world. Being a city that widely promotes liberalism and liberal arts, Portland houses several Videography studios and videographers too. They probably house the most number of videographers in the world and there is always a room for some more new ones.

Videography can be roughly described as an art in the process of which one films, captures or records a moving set of pictures or scenes. It s not a professional film making recording, it is a more casual and lesser popular version of cinematography or filmmaking. A videographer is a person who does the task of videography or video production like recording moving images and sounds on video tape, disk and other electro magnetic devices. In professional terms, a videographer is usually the person who works on the camera and takes care of recording stuff that needs to be recorded.

Portland, like any other city, has citizens that need to get the remarkable moments in their life captured and recorded so that they can rekindle those memories years later. For such purposes, they tend to need a videographer because it is not really possible for a normal person who does not know how to use or even hold the camera, to do this work. The occasions can be someone’s family wedding, a Thanksgiving party, a birthday party, silver or golden Jubilee of a company or association or other such occasions. The pay for the videographer is $20-$25 per hour but for experienced ones it varies and can be increased according to their demand.

For the boost of the industry of videographer Portland their have been various reasons.  The first reason is clearly the various colleges of liberal arts and not to forget the Northwest center of Arts that has led to many students to pursue filmmaking, cinematography and videography as a career option. These students, after graduating from the college and attaining the degree end up starting various videography studios and those who can’t afford to open separate studios work as junior videographers in other formerly established videography studios. The second reason is various studios that lets youngsters work as freelance videographer and earn by paying only for the camera that they rent from the studio.

There also have been various films shot in Portland and about Portland that further encourage the youngsters there to get into the business of filmmaking and become a videographer. One of the most popular videographers ever to have emerged from the mediocre crowd of Portland is Zach King who is also known as the American Vine star. He is known for his vines in which he seems to be doing magic and it calls them “digital sleight of hand”
