FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I usually price jobs on a per shot basis if the project is large in scope or stretched out over time. I will also do day rate and half day rate pricing if the project requires me to travel. Each job is unique. I am opposed to giving "off the shelf" prices because I think clients are opposed to getting off the shelf results from me.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Practice, practice, practice. I don't believe in upgrading for the sake of upgrading, but I do subscribe to Adobe and keep the most current versions of software running to do my work.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Photography sort of chose me. I am one for the few pros you may find these days who studied photography and is actually earning a living over 30 years later. But today I'd probably skip the formal schooling and go sweep floors for someone I respected in order to learn what it takes to be a photographer.
