What sort of backup systems do you have for storing our images?
Digital photos have a distinct disadvantage over film if one is not properly equipped. into onsite and offsite servers, CD backup and a series of other internal back up measures to make sure we always have your portrait photographs, in case you lose them. Although it may seem trivial to ask about these technical issues, if your photographer seems unclear about the technical process in which they backup data, it's likely that they have insufficient backup
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN YOU PHOTOGRAPH IN A DAY FOR CORPORATE HEAD SHOTS PHOTOGRAPHY?
I recommend 15 minutes with each person. This allows me to shoot Corporate headshots for 32- people in a normal 8- hour day, or 16- people in a half day.
What are the advantages of mobile studio family portrait photography sessions?
There are a number of reasons why mobile studio photography is better than a traditional photo-shoot. Here are just a few reasons why this type of photography is a savvy choice for families, individuals and businesses alike:
Your photo-shoot takes place in a familiar, natural environment which is great for children and babies
- Your wardrobe isn’t far away, which is ideal if you need a mix of clothing
- Your images will have a variety of drops, props and styles
- You’ll have a large selection of images to choose from
- The Mobile Studio needs no electricity as it is entirely self-powered
- The Mobile Studio requires little floor space – no more than 3m x 2m
- The Mobile Studio used the same professional grade components as a main studio but in a more compact design
- After just 20 minutes a fully-functioning photography studio can be set up in your own home, ready to product amazing results.
Do you deliver every image you shoot?
No, we don’t. We take thousands of photographs at events, many of which are unsuitable, have bad lighting or are exactly the same as others. We eliminate duplicate images, test shots, shots with bad expressions and other images that may dilute the quality of the overall product we present to you. For example, because we shoot with low apertures, sometimes we take a few extra shots to make sure we have the perfect focus. We don't expect you to have the expertise or the time to zoom into each image to select the one with the sharpest focus, so we spend hours doing it during the editing stages before we present the final photos to you. In another example, candid laughs and emotional tears are some of the best photographs from the day. Unfortunately, they can also yield some unflattering facial expressions.
That’s why we carefully select only the best images to ensure you’re happy with the final results.
Are you able to tailor a shoot/quote to suit our exact needs?
Absolutely, just let us know what you are looking for and we will put together something to suit.
If you would like to arrange a no obligation consultation so that we can discuss your plans in person, please feel free to contact me. The meeting is a good opportunity for me to show you a more in-depth look at my portfolio
