Is there a particular aspect of your trade or industry that you specialise in?
With my experience in taking photos, I have dabbled in all areas. The core of my work is natural settings with people, but I am equally at home in using artificial light. I just love taking natural light photos of people as I like the quality of the light.

How do you normally charge for your service?

What makes you the most reliable and trustworthy person for the job?
I am a well respected and likeable person in my industry. A photographers skill is for all to see, it is my voice. From the photos and reviews that I have placed on my website from customers, I think you get the idea. If I say that I'm going to deliver by a certain time, I do.
-
What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?
How far in advance do we need to book? I usually book a year in advance. Of course there are dates that are available with shorter notice. Just contact me, to see if I am available.
How long before we get to see our photos? I aim to supply your photos within four to six weeks of the wedding. -
What questions should a customer ask to hire the right service professional?
How well do you relate to the photographer? The photographer knows what looks good and the customer needs to trust the photographer. To get the best outcomes the customer needs to feel relaxed and happy with the photo session. The photographer therefore needs to be calm and composed, and funny.
-
What do you like most about your job?
Meeting people. Capturing their personalities on film, well I mean digital 0's and 1's :). Love getting the real people in real life events, reacting as they normally would. It's fun and rewarding.
-
Do you have a favourite customer story you would like to share?
I suppose my fav, is where a wedding started off being a glorious January day in the Botanic Gardens. Just as the bride walked down the aisle a storm hit, with drenching rain. Umbrellas instead of shading were now rain protecting. The bride kept smiling. What a trooper!! Great shots & memories.
-
How did you decide to get into your line of work?
It found me!! My main line of work was in the IT industry as a Business Analyst. I have always enjoyed my creative side - photography. From shooting landscapes , buildings, animals etc.....to my real love of shooting (err photographing) people. Combining photography and IT is my passion.
