FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
At the age of 12 I lived in Italy for three years and went everywhere with my parents' camera or some disposable. That was it, I was hooked. No matter where I went I never just snapped a photo but rather had to get the right angle, include something, crop it (since it was film), and simply was not satisfied if it was generic. I am not sure where or how it started. I never really watched anything or read books about photography, it was just something I started and it continue to build inside throughout high school, then college, and finely I was hired by someone for small wedding and one thing led to another and Last Shot Photography was born.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Whether it be weddings, families, students, or bands, everyone wants a portrait. Portrait work is the biggest area I cover because in these times, everyone has a profile somewhere and they use a photo for that profile or profiles and that photo simply has to be the best and stand out. I love getting creative with portraits as well so whether it is outside or in a studio I encourage people to have fun and relax so we can capture the best times since those are the ones we want to remember.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Not everyone can do it. Even in my field of professionals, each of us has a different feel, eye, and overall vision of our end product. This starts the moment a photo is captured to the end touched-up product. I've been told that I am one of the best candid capturers people have hired or worked with. I have always prided myself in this that I think outside the pose box and try to get something unique. While my posing is not bad, I am no model photographer but an area I still work on. Like any job, everyone has an area they're great at and for me, it's those candid generally unnoticed moments I get that most miss.
