Worth reading before you hire anybody, including me.
These are written for people who have not decided yet.
Each one answers a question honestly rather than selling a service, which sometimes means saying that you do not need a photographer at all. That is a perfectly good answer and you deserve to hear it before you spend anything.
Where the line sits on value, why hiding wear costs more than showing it, and why your own attempts came out grey.
WEDDINGSWhat it costs, why most couples find the practice worth more than the photographs, and where to actually do it.
WEDDINGSWhat six, eight and ten hours each buy, where the hours quietly go, and why extending on the day is the expensive way to do it.
FOOD AND DRINKWhy four places on a phone are chosen in two seconds, what to photograph first, and how it applies to bars, cafes, breweries and hookah lounges.
COMMERCIALThe fifteen platforms one gallery has to serve, what each asset type must show, and why offering memorandum framing is decided at the shoot.
PROPERTYWho actually pays for listing photography, what a gallery has to show, and the free evening of work that changes the result more than the camera.
CARSThe full checklist, why photographing the damage raises the final bid, and why overcast is the weather you want.
RENTALSHow quickly a shoot pays for itself, what a rental gallery has to show, and why flattering photographs cost more than they earn.
When professional coverage earns its keep and when it does not, plus the three things worth planning before the day.
WEDDINGSWhy four quotes come back wildly apart, which days are worth covering, and the one question that reveals whether somebody knows the ceremonies.
What the work actually costs across the state, why two quotes for the same job differ so much, and what should already be included in a price.
RIGHTSCopyright and licensing in plain words, the clause that quietly expires, and the four things a contract should say.
AIWhat LinkedIn actually permits, what recruiters do once they find out, and why nobody spotting it is not the reassurance it sounds like.
Describe what needs photographing and I will tell you honestly what it needs, including if the answer is nothing.
