FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I will work with you to suit your budget. I will get back to you promptly to discuss your specific needs, answer any questions, and schedule your session at a time that works best for you. Bulk projects get a discount.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like starting with a call to discuss your goals and ideas. If a call isn’t possible, email works just as well. I want to fully understand your vision to create something you’ll be proud of. The process is simple: we discuss your concept, schedule the shoot, and review pricing and details. Clear communication is key to a successful shoot, and I believe being on time means being a little early.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Photography began in childhood when my dad introduced me to manual shooting with a 35mm Pentax. While I never pursued formal training, my entire life has been an immersive study of art and art history. The works of Edward Hopper have been particularly influential, shaping my perspective on light, composition, and storytelling. My unconventional path through acting, music, and film has further honed my visual instincts. I’ve been fortunate to receive mentorship from working photographers, attended several workshops, taken tons of courses online, and had my portfolio reviewed by industry professionals, each experience opening new doors of inspiration and technique. However, I firmly believe that the best education comes from hands-on experience. Whether I’m capturing the gritty alleys of Los Angeles or the transformed streets of pandemic-era New York, each click of the shutter is a lesson. This blend of self-directed learning, artistic influences, and real-world practice has shaped my approach to photography. My work has been shown in galleries and used for book covers and magazines. My clients have ranged from individuals to small businesses to publicly traded companies.
