INFO
Photo Shoots start from £95.00. The shoot can be at your home or at a location of your choice, or it can be a studio shoot using plain backdrops with lighting.
Consultation
Meeting you prior to the shoot is a great way to understand your requirements and what you expect from me as your photographer. It is also very useful for discussing ideas for wall space and seeing the style of your home, which can also reflect on the style of photography.
Experience
Shoots last approximately two hours and there is no limit to the amount of shots taken. It's a very relaxed affair and wherever possible, natural light will be my preferred source of lighting. When doing a shoot there are no hard and fast rules, as each person is individual, every shoot will be a different experience.
View
I generally take between 200-400 shots, which I will go through before the viewing. The viewings take place in Virginia Water first to be able to narrow down the choice and show you various techniques that can be applied to change the look and feel of the images. There are various products and samples on display to help you choose your finished products too. I can also prepare an online gallery for family and friends to also be able to view and purchase if they wish.
Create
As my service is bespoke, for you to get the most value from your experience, it is best not to be limited by conventional expectations, i.e. just prints. My aim is to create with my client's, unique pieces of art that are personal to you and will give you much pleasure in years to come. To achieve this goal I have access to a wide variety of products to suit the traditional through to more contemporary tastes.
