Commercial
You name it!
This can be anything. Some examples:
- Industrial
- Office (groups, headshots ...)
- Houses or other buildings:
- Do you love your house?
- What about the view from your house?
- Automotive
- Private Art Commissions
The main limit is our imaginations! Think about something - anything - which matters to you, and we will work out a way to photograph it.
Photography Walks
Other Walks
Here, a small group of aspiring photographers—about three—head out photographing with me. For half a day, we go into nature or we roam through cities—whatever we prefer. We will produce at least one image which you will be proud to hang on your wall.
With a small group, I can quickly find out how you're doing, and on a customized and personalized basis, can point you expeditiously in constructive directions.
We do shared email follow-up (with permission), reviewing and editing the work, taking a day to a week.
Field-work – this is something which you can't get from books or classrooms - but by all means please i) read and ii) take courses! They make a big difference. We often start with something like this: "So, what is it about this scene while appeals to you? Good. Now, let's see how to make the photograph show that." In order for a photograph to "show that", we need a good composition, a deep awareness of the light, and attention to the background and around the borders.
Previous participants have loved it!
(Sometimes we end up in a coffee shop or a restaurant.)
The fee could be something nominal like $85.
Editing
I am skilled at editing photographs, if I may say so.
The top photograph of the car to the right is nice. The same photograph on the bottom shines.
This could start at around $30 for something straightforward.
