Q: Describe your photographic style?

A: My style is romantic and contemporary and my photography  is directed towards capturing

moments that inspires real emotional connections, naturally in an unobtrusive ly.  I enjoy working

in an editorial style and encourage clients to simple have fun,while I snap away,  but  I will also

give direction as needed.

 

Q: So do I have to pose for the camera?

A: No! I hate posing for pictures. It is so unnatural and cheezy! I like to capture spontaneous

moments and the way people relate to each other. I offer some direction, to create a stronger visual

image. You will expected to just be yourselves – kissing, nose rubbing and cheek brushing! The client

plays an active role in achieving this!

You will become familiar with this process during your engagement shoot! It’s important that the

client understands the photographer’s style and becomes part of the process.

A: Ah, these formal portraits are important part of family history and I do take beautiful formal

group photos. Group portraits can be fun and informal and styled differently, using all kinds of

props!

A: Yes. I use 2 digital Canon camera bodies, a film  Canon body and some fast lenses. Film and

digital are different mediums and both serve a different purpose.

Digital images give immediate feedback and is easy to upload onto my Macbook for safe

keeping. On the other hand like film for its dynamic range  and permanence.
