FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge for shooting time. Editing is included in the price. There is an extra fee for travel time beyond 10 miles of Saratoga Springs, which covers not only the time it takes me to get to a location, but also schlepping the gear that is usually necessary for on-site shoot!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I talk with a person prior to the shoot to discuss objectives. This can be on the phone or via text/email. A portrait session typically lasts about an hour, though sometimes more depending on how many people, outfit changes, and location changes. After the shoot I put your lightly edited proofs on a secure web page where you select the images you would like the final editing done.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
For a number of years I took classes at the International Center of Photography in NYC. Starting with the basics of digital I have been progressing to more creative subjects under the guidance of experienced professional photographers. I also read as much as I can online, and take various online classes (usually of a technical nature, such as a recent intensive class on converting to balck and white)
