Introduction: Hello, I am René Amado a portrait photographer with a diverse background that I believe has outfitted me with the aptitude and ability to capture amazing images for you. My years of photographing music festivals and small to large venue concerts has provided me with numerous experiences in being able to think on my feet and quickly adapt to diverse situations whether it be; low lighting, awkward positions when shooting, capturing fast action, working in crowded spaces or being able to find the right composition from a not so great vantage point. I heard early on that if you can photograph concerts you can photograph anything and I believe this to be true due to the multitude of skills it requires. Other skill sets of mine include 10 years of experience in graphic design (AAS degree) and 2 years of on the job experience in portrait editing, retouching and printing. My ability to remove blemishes, correct lighting and color balance will help to provide the best possible images from what we capture. I feel my graphics design background is also valuable in my photographic work because it provides me with the skills needed to create and manipulate images and graphics for custom photo edits.

Rene Amado did photos for my boat cruise and i finally feel like the moment was captured by a professional. This was my second time working with Rene, the first time being at SXSW 2013 and every time i have been left floored by his work amd professionalism.

Rene was very patient and worked diligently to get the right lighting and angles. His keen and artistic eye, coupled with his understanding of editing, led to beautiful results. I highly recommend Rene for your photography needs.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I deal with pricing on a job to job basis. Price can vary depending on the number of people I'm photographing, type of shoot, travel required, time required, location fees and what the client desires as the end product(s).
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to either meet with or at least have a phone conversation with the client a few days before shooting. This allows for us to communicate any ideas and expectations that way we can both arrive properly prepared- them with the right outfits, hair, makeup and mindset, me with the correct equipment, ideas and mindset as well. I also like to try and get to know the client a bit as far as interests and personality type beforehand because the more I can become familiar with my subject(s) the better I'll know on how to approach and handle the session.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I did take a few college classes on photography which included film and digital although it was not my major. I have an Associate’s Degree in Graphic Design with over 10 years experience in Photoshop creating graphics and editing images. I have studied online through professionally structured courses through websites like Creative Live. I have also attended a number of in studio demonstrations and seminars on various photography and editing techniques.
