What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Observe, listen and feel the right moment to capture the moment.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
During the initial call I would be asking about the expectations of the clients, if they have favorite images' aesthetics and if they want to share few references. Other questions about the logistics of the event or commission, such as the location and restrictions. To ensure I evaluate time, materials and resources effictively I will also ask about a specific timeline they wish to have the commission to be completed by.
What do you love most about your job?
Travelling to various places, meeting constantly new people, being able to capture a story. It is never monotonous!
What inspired you to start your own business?
Studying Photography at University made me realise I wanted to become a freelancer. I have the ability to take on long term and short term projects. The business side is essential to source funding and providing consistent quality services.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am a professional with 19-year experience in working with people and different stakeholders. I am a good listener, approachable and will be discrete during events. I have an excellent track record at completing all the jobs according to deadlines and will work the extra mile to ensure you have the best results. I am a member of the Association of Photographer.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes for certain commissions I am able to work remotely.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Sadly I had to stop or reschedule certain commissions/projects during the pandemic. In resuming my activity I have travelled less, sold my car and work remotely when possible. I will wear a mask in enclosed crowded environments and observe distancing. I don't like to make people uncomfortable!
