FAQ

To be honest, and hopefully not glib, the only questions I tend to be asked are

•

“Can you do the job?”

And

•

“How much?”

My fees are reasonable - all of the clients I’ve worked for have turned into regular customers, or have recommended me to others.

I don’t market myself or advertise – all of my work comes from word of mouth.

Actually, it’s usually me that asks most of the questions as part of a collaborative process to try and form a clear idea of the look and feel the client wants the pictures to have.

There is always a conversation beforehand to discuss the shoot, explore options and be sure that everyone is agreed on what we are trying to aim for.

I generally encourage clients to:

•

keep things simple

•

strive for authenticity

•

capture real moments rather than artificial poses or anything too contrived

•

communicate or elicit emotion

•

avoid cliché

I can see I’m starting to go down a wormhole of potentially endless photographic discussion here, so I’ll wrap up now and can hopefully look forward to continuing a conversation with you in person sometime.
