More about Rene F....
What do you love about your job?
I absolutely love learning new things and overcoming new challenges, and photography is an endless source of challenges to overcome. Unlike other mediums, you're able to get instant feedback of your artistic endeavors, which makes it very easy to experiment with new things, and see right away when something is or isn't working. I don't like to settle on one subject or style, so the freedom I get to try new things is my favorite part of the job.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I have done quite a few shoots for a local architectural design firm, and was met with a few challenges on a couple of them. One was a vacation home, where the owners were out of town and left their car parked in front of the home. The client didn't want the vehicle to distract from their design work, so I worked to get enough shots to be able to photoshop the car out in post production. Needless to say, the client was thrilled that I was able to remove a very large object from the photograph without being able to tell that it had been retouched.
