What do you love about your job?
I love to see the happy faces of my clients watching their photos, and coming back to me over and over again.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
As a photographer, I've embraced a wide spectrum of creative projects. My experience ranges from crafting dramatic studio lighting setups to capturing the unique beauty of underwater photos.
To make each shoot special, I focus on bringing a creative perspective to every stage. This starts during the photoshoot itself, where I actively explore different angles, compositions, and interactions with the subject to capture moments that go beyond the ordinary. This might involve experimenting with unconventional framing, playing with shadows and highlights in unexpected ways, or encouraging a more authentic and natural connection with the subject.
My creative approach extends into post-production as well. Here, I meticulously refine the images, enhancing their mood and visual impact while staying true to the essence of the captured moment. This might involve subtle color grading to evoke a specific feeling, creative cropping to emphasize a particular detail, or more advanced techniques to bring out textures and depth. Ultimately, my goal is to deliver images that are not just technically sound, but also visually compelling and tell a unique story.
