Q&As

A good working knowledge of the equipment, being able to see what the light or the flash effect will have on the final image, But knowing what you want to achieve and knowing how to achieve that image, But most of all have empathy with the sitter(s), being photographed can be a daunting prospect even for those that are used to the camera.

Who are the images for?
What or who is going to be photographed?
How many Images are going to be required?
Do you have or need a location?
Is there enough space to take the photographs and set up any equipment, (20' Square Ideally)?

I am a people person, I like to meet people, doing this gives me the opportunity to talk and find out about other people.

I have enjoyed taking photograph for a lot of years, I have do most things from Sport to Headshot work, I supply to a stock image library and have worked for a ladies football team. This seamed to be the next progression to allow me to take on bigger projects.

Unlike most most photographers, I allow time to try and understand the clients needs, long before the first image is taken while the project still in the planning stage. I am always looking to provide the best possible service I can , I find that talking to the client is as important as the taking the photographs and knowing what is needed to achieve the final result.

After the initial photographs are completed, the images can then be displayed online in private proofing gallery's prior to the final edit, Galleries can be arranged in a hierarchical manner allowing different levels of access, e.g. A company management structure, allowing the top to see everything, while Individuals will only see there own.

During the session I would not normally be within 3 meters sitter, indoors and out and no physical contact at all. If the situation arises where the space is limited or I can not maintain a safe distance, I carry masks at all times these would be worn in those circumstances, In the event that either party becomes infected with Covid all necessary arrangements will be made in an attempt to rebook where possible.
