FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices will vary by shoot: where, when, digital vs. film (film entails additional development and printing costs) but a good rule of thumb is to expect to pay $200 an hour with a two hour minimum.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Discussing images they love. Sharing images for them to consider. Looking at a mood board if they have one (Pinterest is great for this!) and hearing their concept for a shoot, if any. Making a great portrait is a collaboration. Taking the time to discuss the image we want to create always leads to the best results.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied photography at Columbia University, but my real training comes from time in the field, making portraits in difficult spaces, often with time and budget constraints. What I've learned is that great pictures can made in any situation.
