| What kind of experience do you have? | What do you wear to events? |
|
I have three years of
experience working under the wing of a professional photographer who
has been in the business for 28 years. I have shot weddings,
bar mitzvahs, sports, community events, bands...a little bit of
everything. I have color-corrected tens of thousands of images (no
joke), designed several dozen albums, mastered Photoshop, Lightroom,
Capture One, PageGallery, PhotoJunction, and several other
photo-related software packages. Otherwise, I let my work speak for
itself.
Who did you work for?
|
One
of those cool hats that hold two sodas. Joking of course! You can be
assured I will always wear appropriate attire. The usual outfit is a
black shirt and formal pants.
If you have a special request (a tie for example) just let me know. No
big deal.
What
if you're
sick?
If I can walk, I'll be at your event. But if an extreme emergency
should arise, I
will find someone to take my place, and I will make sure they are
competent and talented, even if it means losing money on the deal.
|
| How can I reserve you for my event date? | So when will I receive my pictures? |
| Simply request a contract and pay a deposit of $300 for weddings. Other events do not require deposits, but do require a contract. | Usually between 2 and 4 weeks after your event date. |
| How far are you willing to travel? | What rights will I have to the pictures? |
| I am located in Northern NJ and service Bergen County and surrounding areas. Anything over an hour's drive away or events in New York City may require a small extra fee for travel expenses. | Do whatever you like with them! Just don't sell them or try and pass them off as your own if you submit them to a local newspaper or something like that. |
| Are there any additional charges? | Can I meet with you in person to view your work or discuss my event? |
|
In
addition to the cost of your package, the only additional charge is 7%
sales tax as per New Jersey law.
Do you offer albums or
print packages?
Yes! Please view my Album Upgrades & Extras.
And subscribe to my blog
to be notified when I offer new products.
|
Of course! Unfortunately though, I do not yet have a studio, but I'd be happy to meet you at your home or a neutral location like a cafe. I will bring some samples of my work for you to check out, and a brochure for you to take home. Simply contact me and request a meeting. |
| Do you have an assistant? | Do you have a brochure? How can I get one? How about a newsletter? |
|
Nope, just me.
Do you shoot RAW or JPG?
In most cases I shoot RAW. I process them into JPGs before giving them to you, of course. |
I currently only have a brochure for my wedding services. I'd be glad to mail one to you if you contact me with your mailing address. I don't have a newsletter but any new services or changes to the site will be announced on my blog, which you can subscribe to. |
| What kind of equipment do you use? | Can you retouch my images? |
| I shoot only digital, primarily with Nikon equipment. Occasionally I will rent additional equipment if I feel the occasion requires it. I shoot with two or three cameras, so your day will not be ruined if a camera breaks! | Certainly. I normally retouch images in which blemishes are noticable as part of my regular editing process. However, if you have a special request I'm sure I can accomodate your needs. |
