FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am constantly learning, researching, and practicing to improve my abilities. I keep up to date with what's going on in the field through my PPA membership (Professional Photographers of America). I spend a lot of time collaborating with other photographers through message boards and meet ups, and I actually offer lessons to help people be better photographers.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got into photography when I decided to buy my wife a DSLR camera for her birthday because she had been wanting one for quite awhile. Before I buy anything remotely expensive, I spend way too much time doing research, and the day after her birthday, I bought my first camera and it was all downhill from there. I think photography is the perfect combination of science and art. You can know anything and everything about how to properly expose a photo and still take bad pictures, or you can have an amazing eye and not know how to capture what you visualize. It requires a balance. It was the science of photography that got me hooked, and it is the art that keeps me going.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I shoot mainly weddings, portraits, events, and commercial work.
