What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
To make my portrait subjects feel at ease. To extract the very best from them.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What do you want from the portrait session? What do you need the photos for? Do you have any reference images?
What do you love most about your job?
Meeting a diverse range of people. To make them feel good / confident about themselves.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I love working with people on a one to one basis. I have always been fascinated by portrait imagery. I was a keen photographer from 12 years of age, inheriting my Father's camera and Darkroom.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am a very easy going person. I have high skills in lighting and photographic technique. Great communication skills to interpret exactly what every client wants to acheive with the session.
I am fast and efficient.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Obviously a photo session requires myself and the client to be in the same space. All post and editing communication can be done remotely.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
My session studio is cleaned after every session. I wear a mask and keep my distance from the subject as much as I can.
