What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The secret to taking a good photograph is the synergy between the technical side of photography and the aesthetic of the subject. Whether it is a human or a product, creating a balance between the two is crucial in taking a great photograph.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
When starting a new project there are a series of questions I typically ask. These include exploring your expectations and the intended use of the photographs, as well as the style or mood you wish to convey. It is also important to know whether there are any specific visual elements you wish to incorporate. Additionally, I inquire about any technical specifications or preferences, thus ensuring a seamless alignment with your vision. Naturally, every photography project is different, each with its own unique requirements.
What do you love most about your job?
What I find truly rewarding about my role in photography is the ability to showcase the essence of each product or individual. Taking pleasure in the meticulous process of styling, lighting, and framing my goal is to always tell a story. I enjoy a good challenge of making even the most mundane products look compelling and desirable through my lens.
What inspired you to start your own business?
When starting my own business, I wanted to have the ability to fuse my interests. While incredibly inspired by photography, I am also very interested in design and the ever-growing tech industry. Establishing a creative agency and photography studio has empowered me to seamlessly integrate my passion for photography with cutting-edge design, leveraging my expertise in marketing strategy. This allows me to offer clients a holistic and innovative approach, delivering not just photographs but immersive visual experiences that resonate in today's dynamic and tech-driven landscape.
Why should our clients choose you?
I believe I have a unique blend of technical expertise and creative vision. Being the artistic director at a creative agency has afforded me the opportunity to hone my skills in orchestrating visually captivating concepts, ensuring that every project is not only technically impeccable but also infused with a distinctive and artistic flair.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Certainly! While in-person sessions have their unique charm, the convenience of remote photography services can't be overstated. Operating from a fully-equipped production facility you can effortlessly ship your products to; for your convenience I also offer photoshoots conducted virtually. This ensuring a smooth and efficient process for capturing the perfect shots without the need for physical presence.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
In response to the challenges posed by COVID-19 and flu season, I've introduced an optional virtual component to my photo shoots. This additional feature is designed to prioritize the safety and well-being of my clients, providing a flexible and secure alternative for those who prefer or require a virtual experience.
