FAQs
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got started doing videography and photography during my freshman year of college. I love how the camera allows you to meet so many different people in different aspects of life. I also saw how my mentor used his camera as a way of expression and creative release so, I picked up a camera and started carving my own path.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
A project that I was very fond of that I shot and edited recently was a campaign video for a presidential election. It took me about two days too knock out the videos.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When hiring a Videographer or Photographer one the best pieces of advice that I can give you is to be as clear as possible when explaining what is that you are looking for them to do for you. As well as giving them references and other resources that can help them with their creative process.
