FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a fan of always learning. I have a list of photographers that I follow who are on the front of the field that I want to work in. Knowing that I have not, nor will I ever fully 'arrive' helps you stay open minded about techniques and processes that would normally simply be looked over.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
have an idea of what you are looking for. However, also to listen to your photographer. They may have ideas that you hadn't thought about to help make your story shine. Be willing to bend a little and work with them instead of against them. Also, go a head and smile. You look better when you smile anyway ;-)
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Photographers seem to be a dime a dozen. For me, the biggest things are 1. Not every photographer is the same. Shop around and find the one that you feel will be the best fit for you and your story. 2. The amount of time a photographer spends on a given project is much more than just the time spent shooting. A good photographer will spend only about 10-20% of their time actually shooting. The rest of the time is on business administration, networking, learning and also editing.
