What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
It’s not about the gear. It’s not even about perfect technique. Those things help — but the best photos connect emotionally. They tell a story, freeze a moment, reveal truth, or create beauty that speaks to the soul.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
? 1. What’s the purpose of these photos?
“What are you hoping these images will do for you?”
• Is it for keepsakes? Website? Social media? A gift?
• Helps shape tone, orientation, editing style, and format.
⸻
? 2. Who or what is the focus?
“Who or what is most important to capture?”
• Clarifies who to highlight, and what not to miss
⸻
? 3. What kind of look or feeling are you drawn to?
“Do you like more candid and natural, or formal and posed?”
“Any examples you’ve seen that you like?”
• Helps identify their taste (moody, bright, dramatic, warm)
⸻
? 4. Do you have a location in mind — or would you like suggestions?
• For family, branding, or landscape shoots
• You can offer local favorites or hidden gems (especially in the Blue Mountains)
⸻
? 5. What do you want to avoid?
“Is there anything you don’t like in photos?”
• This often reveals style preferences or past bad experiences
⸻
? 6. How will the photos be used?
• Web vs print?
• Frame or post?
• Knowing this affects format, resolution, and delivery
⸻
? 7. Are there any must-have shots or moments?
“Anything you absolutely want included?”
• Especially important for events or family groups
⸻
? 8. What’s your deadline or ideal delivery timeframe?
• Keeps expectations realistic
• Lets you schedule editing/post-production efficiently
⸻
? 9. What’s your budget or preferred package range?
• Not always easy to ask, but better early than late
• You can phrase it like:
“I offer a range of flexible packages — do you have a price range in mind?”
⸻
? 10. Have you worked with a photographer before? How was it?
• Helps you understand their comfort level
• Builds rapport — especially for shy or camera-wary clients
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about photography is capturing real, fleeting moments that people often don’t realise are beautiful until they see them frozen in time. Whether it’s a family, a business owner, or a landscape, I love helping people see the beauty and truth in their story — calmly, honestly, and creatively.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to create something of value that combined my eye for storytelling with my passion for helping people — starting my own business gave me the freedom to do that.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should hire me because I bring the discipline, patience, and precision honed from years as a school principal and army officer. This unique background makes me an excellent communicator who adapts quickly and stays calm under pressure—ensuring your photo session runs smoothly and delivers stunning results, no matter what surprises arise.
