FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was always a visual person, even when getting a degree in economics. Photography helps me in my artistic expression and personal development, just like writing, or cooking, or songwriting, may help others. I love creative, expository storytelling, so when a photo can tell a story, that excites me. The benchmark for a good photo for me is whether or not someone totally unrelated to the subject of the photo can enjoy the photo, as well. If that happens, the photo takes on a life of its own and becomes art, not just documentation.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
There are a lot of great photographers with their unique vision out there, so you need to find a person with whom you'll feel comfortable. It's quite an intimate experience to be photographed and trust is a factor that cannot be stressed enough. Also, I recommend you spend some time reviewing the work and don't be shy about asking questions throughout the entire process. Timidity is not a virtue in the artistic process. Finally, it's important to be understanding of the photographer's needs since it is a collaboration at its essence; everything from pricing, to time commitment, and beyond, should be plainly assessed and confirmed for the best possible experience for both parties.
