FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is based on purpose, usage and viability. It takes into account my costs, but also the cost of that particular production. Do other people have to be hired (or sub-contracted)?
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am constantly studying. Not only the developments, but the histories, the philosophies, the convergences with other fields.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was working as a reporter and the paper gave me a camera. I used the camera to shoot for the paper, and then other publications that covered different angles. One day a car jumped a curb, hit a woman on the sidewalk, went head first into a store window and hit a couple people inside. I got great pictures. But later that night, I thought about whether I should have been trying to help the woman on the sidewalk, or the people inside. I decided I wanted to shoot people who wanted me to shoot them, and who I could make beautiful and happy. There is a place for those kind of news journalists, and I have every admiration for their courage and guts, but I don't want to do it.
