What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
It was the famous photojournalist Robert Capa who once said “If your photographs aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” He was talking about getting in amongst the action. If you feel like your images aren’t ‘popping’, take a step or two closer to your subject. Fill the frame with your subject and see how much better your photo will look without so much wasted space. The closer you are to the subject, the better you can see their facial expressions too
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Well that depends on the project, there is no one simple answer.
What do you love most about your job?
With a photo you can capture a moment, and have it forever. I think we take that idea for granted, with photography being so ubiquitous these days. But seriously just take a second to appreciate that. If you did that in Ancient Greece they’d call you a sorcerer. Or a god.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The love of Photography a doorway to exit Corporate Life
Why should our clients choose you?
While everyone else conforms, I am constantly looking for the edge, the difference, the unique, something that sparkles just that little more. I guess you might call it the wow factor, not choosing me means that you instantly lose that edge.
