Jerome did something that regular people in the photography industry think they know better at doing. He listened to their client! I used to be photographer myself, but stopped being a professional many years ago. I took thousands of photographs and I suspect that Jerome has taken many thousands more. I hated the mundane posed photography sessions that we have all come to except as the normal way of photography. You have seen them! the soft focus portraits to hide blemishes and add effects, the family posed shots that show most of the family in awkward poses. The forced smiles and stiff poses, dressing up in suits and church clothes to give the illusion of a natural everyday family. Being honest, Jerome listened to my needs, I wanted natural photographs of my son and I, and the first shoot did not turn out the way we expected. Jerome was very quick to point that out! However Jerome would not be defeated, he insisted on re-shooting at a different location. He successfully hid himself in a crowd of people and produced the much appreciated natural shots I desired. I was taken by surprise with the results and was given nothing but positive feedback from my family. The photographs show true transparent undeniable love between a father and son. No fake forced smiles or statue poses, nothing but true accurate natural images and a live background location that acted as a superb backdrop! I urge you to talk to Jerome about what you want to achieve, Jerome listens to you, gives you ideas and feedback, but more importantly, he delivers a great product to you that will always be in your memory and can't be repeated.
