Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. Warren Buffet
Saved yourself some time and please read...... if you are not willing to invest in yourself...I am not willing to invest my time and experience or equipment in creating images to help or jump start your career
What I have learned in this industry is your career is an investment. No Investments = No Returns. I have made insurmountable investment in my work and it has yield editorial, print, magazines, billboards, celebrity’s photo shoots and much more. There is a great feeling to be recognize by your peers and to have fans of your work. That I am truly thankful.
I have had the honors of capturing images of many famous people from R&B Artists, Politicians, Actors, Actresses, and most importantly people that have made history such as the first female speaker of the House, who I didn't know until someone "Pinched" me to to tell me who she was, I was just doing what I do. I have also had the great honor of working with some of the best, raw talent, since relocating to Atlanta. Many of them have done great things from Billboards, TV Commercials, and Print and so many other opportunities within this industry.
Like many "professional photographers" I have invested my time and money to learn and perfect my skills. Even today, I am still sampling new ways and styles to create the best images that will captivate my audience. When contacting me, do expect to make some investment into the images I produce for you. If you want something cheap then check out Kmart, Walmart or Glamour shot...
When you want real time, personal attention and ready to invest in good imagery, contact me, I will be happy to provide you with my rates.
The dictionary defines Photography as “The art of process of producing images of objects and photosensitive surfaces. The art, practice, or occupation of taking and printing photographs. Imagination is the formation of a mental image of something that is perceived neither as real nor present to the sense. Imagination is the mental image so formed and the ability or tendency to form such images. The ability to confront and deal with reality by using the creative power of the mind; resourcefulness: handled the problems or the task at hand with great imagination. Creative is having the ability or power to create. Creative is characterized by originality and expressiveness; imaginative. A journey is the act of traveling from one place to another; a trip. A process or course likened to traveling; a passage: the journey of life. Photography, Creativeness and Journey are just a few of the words that aligned with my passion behind the camera and my quest to capture the best images during that moment. If you ready to experience a photographer with an creative imagination then come…experience this journey with me….at the end of the day I have just one question "DID I GET THE SHOT?"
Finally, I get lots of requests to photograph female models and I certainly do, unlike Male Models, the time and investment it takes to photograph a female model is extremely costly. Hair, Make-up (Not your hair stylist or make-up artist) the ones I select do not come cheap and there is a cost. Images which contains female models must verge on the highest of extreme fashion couture.... it is a well planned session. I am much harder and extremely critical when photographing female models. There no exceptions.. YOU MUST BRING IT... When I post my work that involves Female Models, know that it was very involved.
The challenge you have today is to invest in yourself and make the commitment to get your career to the next level.
