Where is your favorite location to photograph?
Pretty much any urban area we come across. We love old buildings, bright colors, and especially the city lights at night.
What excites you about being a photographer?
Giving people the opportunity to feel like a model. Our clients time and time again say their friends think they could be in a magazine after seeing our images.
What turns you off about being a photographer?
Clients that do not care as much about their images. You can always tell when you are going to have a long day. One thing everyone should keep in mind is that no matter how big or small or tall or short, confidence is what makes the shot!
What is your favorite marketing tool?
This is really a two part question for us. The favorite would be bridal shows, I love interacting with people and talking about their wedding. Our most effective marketing tool, however, is email marketing. We usually get a new client with every email blast.
What or who has inspired you?
Sallee Photography. I took one of their seminars a few years ago and changed everything. I didn’t copy, but started to think outside the box. Ever since then, we have been growing and our images have drastically improved.
What’s your favorite f-stop?
Largest aperture at that moment will allow. I always want a shallow depth of field.
What is your favorite book?
Unfortunately, it has been too long since I have had a chance to read. Usually anything history related.
What is the #1 reason client’s hire you?
I feel our style. We are so different than most of the photographers around us. Also, of course – our wide selection of Zookbinders albums.
What do you do when you’re not photographing?
Golf and motorcycles – see the connection? No. That’s because there isn’t one. Riding gives me the opportunity to relax and imagine my next shot. Golf allows me to realize that practice doesn’t always mean perfect.
Which photographer would you like to hang out with?
Yervant. He seems to have everything in the market figured out. Even though he has been photographing for many years, he is not afraid to change to stay on top.
