What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
It's all in the planning. Right from the initial concept to getting the right makeup, clothing, props, background etc.It's about ensuring your vision unfolds in front of the camera. Then it's about making sure the final colour edit and retouching also matches the vision.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What do you want to get out of the shoot? What is the end result you are looking for?
What do you love most about your job?
I love creating beautiful images, whether it's a wedding, portrait or whatever. I am careful with every detail.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I like the variation in being self employed. You can take things where you want. I also like to work from home.
Why should our clients choose you?
Hopefully they will choose me because they really like my work and can see that I genuinely have the skills and experience to get them the results they are looking for.
