What kind of a photographer are you?A really really good one Lol... To be specific I am a freelance photographer and I focus on food and product photography only. I also produce Video content as well for the same genre.
-
How much do you charge?Oh well thats a complicated one. I have two rates, one is a daily rate and one is per product wise. It would be best to get on a call to understand your requirements to give you a quotation. The pricing depends a lot on what work is involved, how much time it takes to get the job done etc

You charge more than other photographers. Why should i hire you?There are so many ways to answe this question. Rather than to bore you with a long list of virtues, allow me to answer in a form of a quote attributed ot John Ruskin: "It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. when you pay too much, you lose a little money, that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes loose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of buisness balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot it can't be done. if you deal with the lowest bidder..."

How do you prepare yourself before a job?I lock myself in the bathroom, turn off the lights and play "Eye of the Tiger at full blast on my bluetooth speakers. And then i chant the following mantra 10 times: "i'm going to do a terrific job today! I'm gonna help people! because i'm good enough and i'm smart enough!"

How many photographs will we receive?I typically deliver approximately 15 - 20 correctedphotos per day of shooting The final number of corrected photos may vary depending on the shoot day. Likewise, some compositions may have more complexity or details which might result in fewer photos.

How do we know that you'll do a good job?I've photographed 300+ food and priducts since 2017. Those varied experiences working with hundreds of different clients at hundreds of different venues lends me a level of practicaland artistic experience that I'll bring to the table. But the real proof is in my vast public portfolio on instagram. And that work reflects the kind of photography you can expect from me. I also double promise pinky swear that I'll do a great job. If that doesn't do it for you, check out a few reviews from past clients.

What are your payment terms for photography?To book me for a shoot, I require a signed agreement and 50% retainer. Upon receipt of the signed agreement and retainer, I'll ensure and guarantee my availability for your specific date. For that reason, the retainer is non-refundable and non-transferable. The remaining balance is due no later than 30 calendar days before the shoot. For photography related payments, I accept bank transfers, google pay and cash.

Did you need an education to become aprofessional photographer?I do have a degree from a photography school, NIIP. However, over the years I've attended dozens of workshops and classes online. I simply can't recommend pursing formal photography degrees, because I feel that you can teach yourself this craft at a fraction of the price and with much greater speed if you are truly dedicated to learning further.

What's the most rewarding part of your job?It's the food ofcourse! But the most rewarding part of my job is being able to choose the jobs that I want to pursue. This freedom allows me to work with who I want,when I want.
