Introduction: I have been doing corporate headshots, actor/model photoshoots, family portraits, kid/baby photos, fitness and fashion shots, birthday party photography, and weddings for over 20 years. I can do a photoshoot in the studio, at your home/office, or outdoors. I'm also available for travel. I love working with all kinds of people from professional actors and models to wedding couples and people getting their first headshot. I am very confident in what I do, and I'm used to making people comfortable and having fun during a shoot, while still being professional and getting beautiful images they will cherish for years! (Please, read my photographer reviews below & visit DaveOuanoPhotography.com .) My favorite thing about photography is being able to create images for a client that make them smile. I'm definitely a people person, and I really enjoy meeting new clients, and capturing their true spirit on camera!

Dave is by far one of the BEST photographers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His vision is creative, original, and detailed, and he is precise in his photo-taking skills. He brings the extraordinary out of the ordinary. Dave is also a joy and a pleasure to work with, due to his charm, charisma, and great personality! I have had the privilege of working with him on several occasions, and all have been absolutely fabulous! Kudos to Dave Ouano, a master of his craft! " Marie Wood | Certified FreelanceMakeup Artist

I have been in public relations and marketing for many years, and Dave is one of the best photographers I have worked with. He listens, understands is a master of his craft, and has a quiet confidence in all he does. His work is always outstanding. In fact, I get many compliments on my head shot, almost weekly! Thanks, Dave, for being such a top notch professional.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I mostly charge by the hour. Some things that may change the pricing are if I have to bring additional lighting in for the event or shoot, if the images will be used for advertising, or I have to hire additional assistants for the shoot.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started in photography by taking club and event photos for Windy City Times, because it was part of my job as an advertising representative. I loved it so much that I took over photography assignments from other advertising reps, and became the main photographer for the newspaper. Eventually, I started doing more fashion, fitness, and portrait photography, and found out that I love it!
What types of customers have you worked with?
The most common jobs I do are corporate headshots, kid and family portraits, fitness photography, and weddings.
