Headshot Photography

I’ve worked with Chauncy Smith Photography twice so far and I’m really happy with the results. Robert is very professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about his work and will go the distance to meet the needs of his clients. I really appreciate him being very kind, assertive, and patient with me when working together. Robert has helped me turn my sneaker obsession into beautiful projects of me getting out of my comfort zone and showcasing my love for sneakers.

Video Production

Working with Chauncy Smith Photography was INCREDIBLE. His personality, professionalism, work ethic, and talent embodies what the best photographers/videographers should have. Most of all, he pays meticulous attention to detail which I feel like is a "lost art". I am a project manager for a COVID testing company and we needed an instructional video to be made on a very short time notice. I reached out to several professionals and Thumbtack and he was the first to answer. The prices were reasonable but the reason why I decided to work with him was because he was the only one that took an interest in my project by asking relevant questions before he gave me a quote. It really set him apart from other videographers who just threw me a quote without inquiring further about this project. Even though I could have hired someone who had more "experience" up on his portfolio, my gut feeling told me to go with Chauncy Smith Photography and I'm so glad I did! A few days before the shooting was scheduled, he came by to scope out the lighting and props to make sure everything would be okay (TALK ABOUT DEDICATION). On the shooting day, he was responsive, came on time and very friendly. I could tell he truly loved his craft from the way he explained elements of videography and lighting. The lighting in our office where the video was filmed was very difficult to work with but he brought huge bags of equipment and lighting and meticulously set them up. He's definitely a perfectionist as he did not rush the process or gloss over imperfections and inconveniences. He really took the effort to work around every obstacle we had to create a perfect finished product. After filming, a rough draft was ready in only a couple days and he was very responsive to feedback and changes and finished everything in a timely manner. I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer/photographer. He provided the value of a director, cinematographer, camera crew, lighting crew and video editor all in one for a fraction of the price of a full production crew. You'd be hard pressed to find a better videographer on Thumbtack.

Real Estate and Architectural Photography

It was so great to work with Chauncy on our house. Getting quality photos for our house was a large priority, and Chauncy exceeded our expectations. His price for the photoshoot was very fair and quality was top-notch. I will definitely be working with Chauncy on future projects and refer him to family and friends.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I want you to get the most out of my services. I do my best to give you the fairest and most affordable prices to work with.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Before meeting the customer/client in person, I usually schedule a call with them to get a better idea of what they would like to hire me to do for them. I may have a place in mind or need to do some location scouting to establish the best place to take the best photos. From there, I'll gather all the necessary gear for the project, schedule a time, and place to meet up to start shooting.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I am currently enrolled in film school to get my bachelor's degree and pursue a career as a Director of Photography (Cinematographer) or Director. I've been a photographer/videographer for five years now but pursuing it professionally for a little over two years currently.
