Andrew was super helpful with ideas for our shoot... from the location down right to our outfits . Considering that i get nervous around new people and i felt so much at ease during this session; i would definitely recommend him over and over again. He was quick to respond to my request and his was the most reasonable price. We didn't have to wait for the photographs either ...he had them sent within a few hours after the shoot. Great job !!

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
I strongly believe that there is no single answer to this question. There are a number of ways to take a photograph that can be considered great. It could be the lighting, the framing, the expression on someone's face (if speaking on portraiture), etc. It may be easier and more accurate in saying this is (or can be) dependant on a number of things working together in harmony. Also, capturing something in a slightly different or in a unique way, from how others have done, if done well, allows it to stand out from other photographs.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Can you elaborate on what you are wanting from the shoot?
Would you be interested in having a chat about ideas for the shoot over a phone call? If possible would you like to meet up beforehand for a face to face chat?
What do you love most about your job?
I love capturing moments between people, and their expressions and body language. I am very keen to capture the nature and characteristics of others in a spontaneous manner. I am rewarded by the surprises I find upon reviewing images.
What inspired you to start your own business?
It allows me to work in my own time, and do what I love and am passionate about. I wanted to use my talent to create images that capture the beauty in moments between other people, or capture what it is I am photographing in an attractive manner.
Why should our clients choose you?
I believe I am able to provide clients with very good value for money service. I am also good with people and enthusiastic to help them get the most out of their ideas for the shoot. In addition I am also good at adding ideas and suggestions of my own.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
The sending of my images would be sent online over We-Transfer or MyAirbridge, typically speaking, and editing I would do is also done remotely.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I have maintained the safety protocols and measures in terms of wearing a mask and sanitising regularly. I am always doing what I can to prevent catching infection so that I keep those around me safe.
Photography (various genres)
I aim to provide customers with a good value for money service. I always look to give a decent price as I am well aware of the potential for prices being very high in general for this work.
I charge per hour with 10 edits being done on selected images as chosen by the client. The shoot and edits are thereafter sent to an email address provided by the customer using We-Transfer unless otherwise specified. I always ensure that the customer is happy to the best of my abilities.
