FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Flat fee is about as basic as it gets! I charge a single fee for the shooting session, the editing time and delivery of the high resolution images. I find it a more simply and straight forward approach that people appreciate.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Of course! I enjoy viewing other photographer's images to think about what others are doing in the field, I am always watching online tutorials on technique and I attend classes through local educational outlets to meet and learn from those within my vocation.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My previous vocation was in the software industry and my role was to implement software on site at client locations throughout the US and Asia. While there certainly was an intellectual and analytical side to the work, I realized two things: 1) the most gratifying moments were those in which I connected with my clients and I felt like I was helping make their work lives easier. 2) I was always bringing my camera with me on all my trips and either arriving early or staying after a project to explore the area and capture travel photography. While I felt that staying within the software industry would be a safe and secure move, I felt that I was slowly withering away and before I completely turning into a dried out plum pit, I made the break to pursue photography full time and I haven't looked back since!
