FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a member of the Professional Photographers of America, which offers ongoing classes and events to help me learn not only about my craft, but also the business side of it. I also network with other photographers to see what they are doing as well as visit my camera and lens makers to keep up on new equipment.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
After 15 years of being a manager in retail, I wanted to do something that I enjoyed. After walking around and taking random pictures at festivals, I decided I wanted to get a bigger story then just the one a visitor gets, I wanted to get behind the picture, learn the story behind it.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Other than portraits, I also walk around and catch people just being themselves. Chatting or dancing, playing games, looking at things around them. Most of my jobs have been at festivals and reunions.
