Services offered:
A brief overview of services I offer -- please contact me to schedule services, or to learn more:
- Art Photography:
- Are you an artist who needs images of their art for your website? Slides for a juried show? If you have a need for images of your art, I can help. I'm currently best equipped for flat art, but I also have an understanding of the difficulties of 3D work, especially the highly reflective nature of jewelry and glass items, and will be glad to work with you on those items. Normal rate: $75/hr for the shoot, which includes a professionally made CD of images for digital, plus $35 per 7 art pieces if for slide film (includes film and processing -- so that's all you pay), which gives you bracketed exposures so you can pick the one that best represents your work.
- Music & Performance Photography:
- If you're performing live music of some sort, or other live performance, I'd be happy to come shoot your show. Normal rate for this is $100 per event, which includes a professionally made CD or two prints from the show. That said, I'll often be glad to come shoot just for a free pass to the show, and photo access if that's required. In this latter case, though, the CD and prints would not be included. On-line versions can likely be made available, though, and of course a later negotiation for CD or prints is an option. Click on the above link to see samples of my work in this arena.
- 1-on-1 photographic instruction:
- I enjoy teaching -- sharing what I know. If you're interested in private photography lessons, I'd be glad to help you learn whatever it is that you're wanting to learn. Perhaps you're trying to understand some basic concepts; perhaps you're trying to understand the controls for your latest equipment; perhaps you're wanting to extend your abilities. Whatever your needs, I'd be glad to help out, and tailor my teaching to your specific needs -- one client called me her "personal interactive photography guide", and I'd be glad to be that for you, as well. Normal rate is $25/hour. Long-term learning discounts may be available; we'll figure it out after the first couple of lessons.
- Candid Event Photography:
- If you'd like a photographer to take candids at an event of yours, I'd be glad to help out. Whether it be weddings (traditional or otherwise, I'm very open-minded), or some other sort of event -- even just a party, I'd be glad to come shoot candids at your event. If you need more formal portraiture as well, I'd be glad to work with another photographer, and/or help you find one. Normal rate is $75/hour, with a 2 hour minimum, and includes a professionally made CD of images from the event.
- "Sessions" -- Portraits, fashion, promotional shots, etc.:
- Whether you're a model looking for portfolio shots, an actor looking for a headshot, a Senior looking for portraits for your last year at school, a singer or musical group looking for an album cover or other promotional photos, or really anyone wanting portraits done for whatever reason, I'd be happy to work with you. I generally prefer natural-light situations, though studio lighting can also be arranged if that's your preference. Highly creative shots are a definite option, and something that I rather enjoy. If you've got an idea in mind, let me know, and I'll tell you how well I think I'd be able to realize it. Normal rate is $150 for up to two hours. (If you think you'll need more time, let me know -- in some cases I'll go over at no additional charge, and in all cases, I can continue on for another $50 for each additional hour). Included are a professionally made CD, and very affordable professional printing of any images you'd like to have printed.
More on rates:
All rates are negotiable, and I'm a fan of barter arrangements, so if you think you might have something (tangible or otherwise) that I might want in exchange for any of the above, feel free to contact me to discuss the options.
Guarantee:
I take great pride in the quality of my work, and thus offer the following waranty: If you're not satisfied with the results of your shoot, please let me know. When possible, I'll offer to re-shoot for free. If that's not possible, or you just don't feel that I've lived up to your expectations, then I'll refund your money (upon the return of any prints or CDs, if applicable).
