FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was part of the Wickford Art Gallery's, Photographic Arts Group a few years ago. I participated in two art shows and competed in other Group competitions winning first place here and there along the way. I was, also, a liaison between a local newspaper and our Photographic Arts Group organizing different themes for features in the paper. I was featured twice and I also won first place in Yankee Magazine's 2011 Fall Photo Contest. I had discovered a love and an eye for photography and others were starting to see my work.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I am a freelance photographer for the University of Rhode Island. I had to go through a rigorous portfolio process through the State of Rhode Island. I was selected and I'm able to bid and photograph different events at the College. I'm also mentoring high school students for their Senior Photography Projects.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
You have to really love the photographer's work and you need to feel comfortable with that person. Please don't shop for the lowest price. You need to make a connection. Photography is very personal.
