Introduction

Hi, my name is Al! Please >>ONLY<< reach out if you would like to book me for your shoot because it's not free for photographers to receive messages from clients. And guess where you can also find me! ;) If you can see this message, that means I am available on the date you set for your project. 2025 Pricing! Wedding packages start at $200/hr + an additional deposit that covers Thumbtack charges. I can include a simple highlight video w/ audio and background music for $250. Pricing for all other services starts at $250 and goes up from there. If this pricing works for you and you like my work, please reach out only to me. Thank you for understanding! Anyhoo, what makes me stand out in my region is the fact that I am primarily a fashion photographer that does everything else, too! I've even photographed people you've seen on TV and now I'd like to shoot with you! I am a full-time photographer and am available to shoot almost any day or time that you need. I have a graduated pricing structure and the automatic quote you see when contacting me is the starting package. Please take your time to review my work because there are a lot of different styles. Thanks for reading! Al

Q&A

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

Not complicated at all! Just tell me what you want!

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

My typical process for working with a new customer includes them telling me a general idea or concept of what they want, I go away with that info and develop a customized shoot plan after researching modeling agency portfolios /portraits/ business head shots (whatever the project calls for) that I think would work for the client, then I send the plan to the client via email and they give me their feedback. After that, it's left to confirming the shoot date, time and how many edits they need.

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

I am mostly self taught, however, I did take a few classes as an undergraduate psychology major and more recently in 2016. I currently shoot for a talent agency in Chicago.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I got started doing this type of work in college (Psych major actually) after my sophomore year roommate and I would go around campus taking photos because he was an assistant for a local photographer who shot for the Indianapolis Colts and Pacers and he had some basic know-how . I eventually branched off and started renting cameras from the university(Ball State) and gravitated more towards fashion photography. I photographed performing artists around campus and a few friends within a fashion context, building sets, securing props and it just grew and grew.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Weddings, actors, models, events, etc,etc.

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

A recent project I am fond of is my J3 Streetwear Campaign. I was able to art direct the entire shoot as well, so that means I came up with the concept and photographed it all. I was able to design the set, choose some of the models and I also retouched the entire campaign myself. It took a little over 3 months or so from the initial meetings with my client until I sent the last few edits.

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

Make sure you speak with a prospective photographer about when you will receive the images back, how many to expect back and how long they will be available for!

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

Some questions customers should think through before talking to professionals about their project are: -How many edits do I want? -When do I want to receive all my photos?
