Q&A

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

Every project is different and my prices are comparable. I'll spend the time to make sure the final product is at its peak and you are happy with the product. My video day rate is 1100 for my services or 800 depending on the camera used. Photo file or print work varies by the job with the type of equipment location and time spent. Before , during amd after the shoot. Expect 590 base rate for an event.

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

Thumbtack sends me a request from you for a reservation date. I pay Thumbtack 10-40 dollars depending on the job. Thumbtack does not give out your personal information so please provide a phone number and email address.

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

I graduated from Antonellie Institute of Art and have nearly 30 years of professional experience. I also attend annual seminars to stay on the cutting edge of new technology, the latest equipment, and photography special effects. I use Adobe Light room for print and Premier Pro CC for video editing.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Photography chose me and I followed it. In high school I was appointed to the photography club and as then the yearbook photographer. I won every contest I entered during my high school years. I attended Antonellie Institute of Art and Photography and graduated with an associates degree in specialized technology at the top of my class.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Corporate, Famous Actors and Actresses, Military, Weddings, Law Enforcement, Events, Portraits, Universities, Schools, Events, Hospitals, Real Estate, Product photos needed for web sites, Advertisement, TV commercials, TV News ABC/Disney, NBC , documentaries.

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

I recorded a documentary for a company from Washington DC. It was an all day shoot on a location in Va. There is an art to putting together a story. You must be able to see it as it happens and have certain pieces of video to bring it all together. I really enjoy creating video’s and getting the shots to make it happen.

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

Be sure the person you hire has an education in creative arts/photography or extensive background in photography. There are many who think buying an expensive camera makes them a pro. Yes hey could get some good pictures but not the best!

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

What will the final project be used for? This will help to shoot in a way to deliver the correct type of style Photography for your project.
