- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Do more than ask me for a price, please. Take a look at my portfolio and my social media presence. Price is only one element. My rates are good, but I can't be giving away my time in order to compete with someone who will charge close to minimum wage and give you a CD of un-retouched images. Quality matters.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
You generally get what you pay for. If a price seems to be too good to be true, you might want to re-think accepting their work. Anyone charging less than $25/hr is likely to not be professional enough to do work you will be proud of and happy to share with others.
