FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer a pricing that is in consideration of the shoot requirements, the length of time of the shoot, travel expense, and the estimated hours for post editing. For example, I do many dance shoots, and because of the complex work in capturing something unique through so much body movement, I would charge a bit more.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Hi! I would say my passion for photography lies within my love for visual storytelling through everyday moments and the human element. I always like hearing the client's needs and ideas for the shoot, but I also offer my own visions during our creative process as we shoot. For new clients who may be unsure or not too comfortable in front a camera, I tend to start by having them simply ignore me and focus on the surroundings while I photograph them, and then when they feel like it to look towards the camera. This breaks the ice but also gives the client more control of the shoot and minimizes expectations. We then go through this session so the client knows exactly what they're liking or may want to do differently. What I love most about photography in general is being able to capture someone's essence and uniqueness. For example when I'm doing a dance shoot, I look to capture the dancer as much as the dance itself.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied at Emerson College and graduated with a B.S. in Film Studies, as well as taken courses in Photography.
