I’d like to meet with a customer first so that I can get to know them and understand how they go about their day so that I can understand your personality their mindset and their perspective. Understanding who they are as a person helps me to adjust my personality and my approach to their‘s so that they can be more comfortable and their experience in the photo shoot can be much more rewarding.After I’ve adjusted like taking their photos I let them know that they have 1 to 2 days until they’ll be receiving their photos fully edited and I am willing to make any changes or adjustments that they might need or desire to their photos.

All of my knowledge and understanding of photography is been done through independent research and experiences. In short I pretty much taught myself everything that I know.

When I was younger my brother who is also a photographer was doing an event photo shoot at his house for a family gathering we were having. He had to step away and take care of some other business so he handed me the camera and told me to shoot around for a bit. By the time he got back he was surprised that I was taking good photos. Fast forward a year and I was leaving to Japan with the Navy, and it halfway I decided to give photography a try in a more selfish aspect. At that point I had gone another year working with a Nikon B 500 power shot. I was still having fun with photography so I decided to upgrade to an Olympus OMD Mark one. Fast forwarding another three years and I was in San Diego leaving the military and I decided to do photography in a way that I could monetize something that I loved. And here I am.

The last project that I did is actually my favorite project. It was with two women that were visiting San Diego from New York. They wanted to do a “best friend photo shoot“. By the time the actual photos were done they were very ecstatic about the quality of the photos. And by the time I was done with editing the lighting in the photos they were absolutely in love with the end product.

You should look into a photographers style of photography first. And imagine if you can see your photos coming out in that style and you loving it. If you can’t you should continue to shop around until you find a photographer who style fits what you see in your minds eye. And secondly you should find a photographer whose personality matches yours. If you’re goofy and high energy you should find a photographer who skilled, goofy, and high energy. This will make for a much more comfortable photo shoot and a much more rewarding experience.

What is the mood and setting that you would like your photo to depict? Are there any trouble spots that you would like your photographer to exclude from the photo or to cover up in some elaborate way that we photographers tend to use to make your photos look even better. You should tell them what parts about you you love the most and that you would like your photographer to emphasize about you. Show your photographer some other photos that you absolutely love so that you can implement that and put your own unique twist on it. Ask your photographer “if you were in an alternate universe and you had to do photography for free would you be satisfied with that?” Now I might sound like a dumb question but the fact of the matter is a photographer who is passionate about his work I’ll go the extra mile without ever needing to be pushed to do that unless the photographer I will make sure that your photos are amazing and your experience is wonderful.
