Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


These are common questions asked by clients, along with my answers.

If you have more questions, always ask!

Q. What is your photographic style?
A. My photography style is a mixture of traditional portraiture and photojournalism. More importantly, I work together with clients to select the right locations for shots and capture the most important moments.

Q. What makes you different from other photographers?
A. Taking excellent pictures is about connecting with people. I take pictures to capture moments and memories of your event. While I have all the latest digital equipment, my talent is for making people feel comfortable and at ease.

Q. Do you use digital or film?
A. I use all digital equipment, though I started my photography career using film. For those interested in the technical side of digital photography, I use a 6 megapixel SLR Canon which is compatible with "film camera" lens and filters. For those who do not care about the technical side: This means you'll get high quality, crisp professional pictures!

Q. I heard digital is not as good as film...
A. Professional and amateur photographers are quite opinionated about this subject. I have used both digital and film, and I prefer digital. I have a technical background, including digital design, so I am able to use the advantages of digital to their fullest extent. Some people asked about the quality of enlargements. Since I use a professional grade camera, the digital images can be enlarged to at least a 16" x 20" print and have no pixelation (blurriness).

Q. Do you provide black and white photography?
A. Yes. ALL images can be available in either color or black and white. I can also provide the highly sought sepia-toned photographs.

Q. How quickly will I receive my prints?
A. Online images will be available within 2-3 weeks of your event; prints can be ordered immediately from my e-commerce website. Print albums are available within 2 months of the event.

Q. Can I keep the negatives?
A. Since I am an all digital photographer, there are no negatives. You will receive a CD with all your pictures, and you can order prints from my online site at any time while your event is still viewable.

Q. Do you require a deposit?
A. Yes. $200 to save your date!

Q. Can I see examples of your work?
A. Yes, of course! Take a look at my Portfolio.

Q. How many pictures do you take?
A. You will receive AT LEAST 30 album-quality pictures per hour I am at the event. I usually average 200 album-quality prints per event. Since I do not use film, there is no limit on the number of pictures I take.
