Introduction

My first thought when I am contacted by a potential client, no matter what type of photography is requested, is how I can provide to them the best overall photographic experience. I do this by first discussing with the client what they are looking for in the final, delivered photos and always listen to the client's expectations. After discussing the details, I give a great deal of thought on how I will approach the particular job. Each area of photography I work in will, at times, have unique requirements, and I am confident that my abilities as a photographer allow me to address those requirements successfully. I have a great deal of experience photographing a wide range of Corporate and non-Wedding Private Events, although I will photograph small and intimate wedding ceremonies. I work with individuals and businesses - large and small - to satisfy their requirements for Head Shot photography. My growth as a photographer has led me to other areas such as Real Estate Photography for both home sales and vacation rentals. Important to note: I do have Liability Insurance through Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, and I will provide the certificate and/or other details upon request.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I have Liability Insurance provided by Fireman's Fund Insurance Company.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

After getting hired by a client, either through Thumbtack or other methods, I email the client - or call if that is what they wish - and thank them for their business. I ask for their contact information, and the location of the photography requested. This information is used in my standard contract, which is then signed by me and sent to the client for their approval.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I attend photography workshops at a local institute 3-4 times per year.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I was working full-time as an Electrical Engineer. In 2014, our research team was authorized to purchase a camera to photograph our experiments. After using the camera, I purchased my own, and began volunteering as a photographer at charity events in the Greater Boston area.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Businesses large and small, real-estate agents, vacation-rental property owners, restaurants, schools, couples.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I photographed the opening of an art exhibit, and the customer wanted 90% of the photos to be candids. I had never been asked for so many candid photos to depict an event. My patience was up to the task that evening, and the customer was very pleased.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Make sure the photographer doesn't try to dictate to you how he/she feels what photos will be taken. You need to find someone who will get all the kinds of shots you want, while making suggestions for other types of photos.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Try and think about all the types of photographs you want taken, so your event is well depicted and well remembered. A good event photographer will ask for your thoughts and possibly a "shot list", and will put in the time and effort to make sure the photographs and images you want are captured.
