Photographer

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. I have experience in just about every region of photography, but my main focus is glamour and fashion work, magazine style images for use in print and on the web.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Always ask about turn around time and always get the price quote in writing with details regarding what is covered in the quote.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. Usage rights on images are very important. Make sure you understand what rights you are giving away or getting in return when dealing with any photographer.
Make sure you have something in writing and clear enough to understand how both you and the photographer may use the images you create together.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. What is the hourly rate and what is included for that rate?
Do you give discounts for half day or full day sessions?

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. The duration and location of the photo shoot will affect the price quoted. A location shoot is more expensive because it requires more equipment and travel expense, while something shot in my studio requires less so I can be more flexible on the price.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. I am a PhotoShop professional and graphic artist as well as a photographer. I feel this gives me an edge over traditional photographers because I am capable of processing in many different styles. I process all of my own work in house and maintain the quality of the image from start to print.
