Here’s some stuff I’d like you to know about my business philosophy, style and process:
If you’re limited on time or just don’t want to read through all this, I’ve put a TL;DR section at the bottom.
Philosophy
My approach is service oriented. It’s in my DNA from years in the food service industry. We are in this together. I understand the challenge of standing out in a highly competitive marketplace. I work with you in whatever way fits your needs, anything from a “hands on” to a “hands off” approach. I strive to support your brand as I know how important it is to you! I view your success as my success.
Style
I shoot with both natural light and flash. I leverage my style more heavily on natural light and supplement with flash as necessary. Because flash can also help me craft the look and mood where natural light may not, there are times when I lean on flash more dominantly. Ultimately, the space and/or you dictate how much I use of either. Whichever method, I shape the light as necessary to create the image and tell the story. I pay close attention to compositional elements to craft compelling images of the space.
Process
Before the shoot it’s important that we talk about your project. Your inspiration, vision, the design and build elements, challenges and goals for the project are all important to me. This is key to how I best capture your vision. Before I shoot, I take a moment to walk the project, take in the space, how it feels, what it says to me. Finding this ‘zen’ of the space helps me capture the emotions of it. All spaces have something to say. I listen. I take the time necessary to capture each shot. A single image can take as much as an hour(or more) or as little as a few minutes. No two shots are alike.
Copyright
To put it succinctly, I retain all ownership and copyright to all images that I create. You will be able to use the images, in perpetuity, for whatever you require for promoting your business. The license is non-transferrable. No sharing or third party usage is allowed without my prior authorization. However, should any third party be interested in usage, contact me to discuss options as there are ways for you to save a significant amount of money through cost sharing. All images are delivered to you with an industry standard license that should cover any usage that you need to promote your business. If any other usage is required, it can be made available on a case by case basis.
Pricing
Every project has different requirements. There are too many variables to put pricing here. Contact me to discuss your project and needs and I will better be able to discuss pricing with you.
TL;DR
I’m a service oriented photographer who considers your success, my success. Our communication is very important in reaching our goals, which we share in this process. Not only do I connect to a space by seeing it, I also feel it and listen to what it has to say. I shoot to create a natural look, but also shape the light to achieve the look you desire. Composition is very important to me and is leveraged in all images that I create. Contact me to discuss your project and pricing. As far as copyright is concerned, I’m not going to TL;DR that one. Please read that in its entirety as it is very important that you understand it.
