List of Services
+Digital photography
I am extensively experienced in digital
photography at a commercial level with a history of successful productions.
I am capable of not only matching reference images, but I also adopt advanced levels of commercial techniques for accuracy and the best lighting aesthetics.
+Pre-production
Providing any necessary assistance during the pre-production phase.
This includes but is not limited to prompt communications, building crews, estimates, equipment needs & rentals with my reputable connections, and recommendations based on over a decade of experience.
+Film photography
Campaign quality photographs shot on film for clients requesting an upscale look with film photography.
I primarily shoot in medium format 120mm (Hasselblad) or 35mm using Portra 400. Film offers a beautiful cinematic quality and aesthetic for your brand's visual communications.
+Location scouting
I scout the best locations for your project using popular location host sources such as Giggster, Set Scouter, Peerspace and directly with studio owner connections.
I know exactly what is best for a location and I visit sites in-person if I haven't already been there.
+Post-production
Consistency across assets using Capture One Pro and expert level image editor skillsets including info points, normalizing, gridlines, etc.. as needed.
Retouching requests are primarily outsourced to a trio of highly reliable retoucher connections - each with their own category specialization.
+Video capture
Same day, same shoot, same lighting video capture for PDP video - for the ultimate consistency and quality.
This of course lowers costs considerably both for equipment, time and crew needed. Video editing services available by myself or with a reliable editor connection.
+Art direction
I can offer art direction with recommendations in colour, mood, aesthetics, psychology, layouts and most importantly lighting aesthetics.
This all becomes part of your brand's style guide and outlines the integral visual look of your brand.
+Industry contacts
I can put together teams on the fly with quick communications to get your shoot confirmed.
Over the years I have built relationships with industry peers ranging from MUAHs, Wardrobe Stylists, Retouchers, rental companies, Prop Stylists, Photo Assistants and more.
+Style guides
Many brands don't even have a basic style guide which is critical for brand alignment, aesthetic, consistency and also onboarding with creative talent.
I enjoy putting style guides together because they are incredibly important for your brand's success.
+Moodboarding
Shareable and print ready moodboards that extend further than simple gathering of reference imagery.
I incorporate every element of a shoot's look such as a core theme, colour palettes, grain, crops, lighting, styling - the list goes on.
+Production logistics
Providing all the tried and true logistical recommendations to have the smoothest shoot possible.
Logistics and structure are often overlooked and I know all the potential
pitfalls and delays to watch out for.
+Lighting design
Lighting is what I'm most known for - I'm passionate about lighting aesthetics. This is what I do.
Whether it's a model, roomset, or a product I know how to get the best directional shape with beautiful results while keeping your requests in mind.
