Crucial Questions to Ask ANY Photographer
1. How do I book a shoot?
Provide your information by selecting the contact button and we can discuss it through email.
2. Do you offer payment plans?
I currently do not offer payment plans but will work towards this potential possibility.
3. Do you work internationally?
If the costs are covered I can definitely work internationally. I have a passport in hand. I typically work locally or within the state limits but I have traveled across country for clients that are serious about their work.
3. What is your typical timeline?
Timeline for a response is within twenty four hours. Timeline for completion can ranger between a week to a month of completion. Depends on the contract that is signed and agreed upon.
4. What payment methods are available?
You can provide payment via paypal, cash, check etc.
5. Do you have a referral program?
Not at the moment but will get it up soon.
6. Are you the one taking pictures at my event?
If you are booking me you are getting me as your photographer. Unless otherwise discussed in the contract you will be working with me.
7. Do you have any examples?
Yes I do if you look through my website I have a portfolio showcasing work. If you want to see what I can do I suggest taking a look at my portraits and lifestyle pictures if you want to see candids in action.
8. Do you have a contract?
Yes I always have a contract in hand to show what is to be expected when working with me.
9. Why are you so expensive?
You are paying for the experience that I have polished my craft to be able to quickly work in a high pressure setting in most environments. Anyone can pick up a camera however not everyone can capture sharp composed photos in masse.
Second the equipment I carry is worth thousands. The camera body alone is worth four thousand, the lenses usually average between two thousand a piece. Not to mention the lighting and audio gear that I also possess. You are paying to have a professional utilize equipment that is for professionals and operating and maximum efficiency. A friend may own a camera that could be similar however it takes a master to be able to efficiently use the equipment.
Post production is where time consumption really happens. People don't realize that there is more to a wedding than just shooting the day of. The proper professional will take the next step and color edit and correct any mistakes in post production. If he does not you will have images that will most likely not be up to your standards.
