FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1. Getting to know my client by ask the right questions and pay attention to the little details like how they met, how long they have been together, what kind of music they like (i often shoot with my client's favorite song in the background to help them feel comfortable in front of the camera) They key is to make my clients feel as if I am not even there. It is just them and the moment they cherish... and that is how it should be. On rare occasion my clients could be very shy (due to their culture), a small glass of wine, a clever joke could warm things up and put them at ease. It is my way of letting them know that they are in good hand and all they need to do is relax and go with the flow.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have extensive background in graphic design at SJSU. Designing composition and a deep knowledge in understanding what make a picture looks great. As a photographer and photo retoucher who has back ground in graphic design, this combination allows me identify and quickly fix minor details with posing and facial expression.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was a graphic design student at SJSU and worked part time as a gear manager for a wedding photographer then became her second shooter after a few months. Over time, I realized that photography has stolen my heart and soul.
