Farenell Photography

In no particular order...

1. I am NOT a photographer. I consider myself an artist whose medium is photography. There's a subtle but important difference.

I am not in this to make money or be famous (though I wouldn't shed a tear if those were the end results). I'm simply filling a creative need that needs expressing & am hoping to find & work w/ like-minded individuals.

All I ask is when & if we schedule something, please be respectful of my time. I pledge to do the same.

2. I live in Glens Falls but travel & shoot quite often in the greater Albany, NY area.

3. I'm a sucker for compelling faces, especially those w/ a hypnotic smile.

4. Here is a version of the release I use:

http://www.nppa.org/professional_develo … lease.html

Unless you're practically a blood relative, signing a release is mandatory. I'm more than happy to make reasonable amendments to it. However, they REALLY need to be discussed in advance.

5. My subjects MUST be adventurous, willing to laugh at themselves, & not be particular about how they look. If you are unable to do so, that's ok. It just means working w/ me is probably not for you.

6. I'm not interested in doing traditional fashion or commercial work or the same crap that everyone else is doing. Nothing against those that do, its just not my thing.

7. I believe in living my life & conducting my shoots under the K.I.S.S. principle. Don't know what it is? Ask me.

8. If you want to work w/ me, simply ask. I'm not omniscient & will never know about an opportunity unless I'm tipped me off. The best way to get my attention is to initiate a private message. They attract my attention better than "tags" & "picture comments".

As a forewarning, I'm more apt to hire people I've already worked w/ first before I look towards an unknown quantity. Its nothing personal, its just the fairest way I can think of doing things.

9. I encourage questions & ideas from my subjects. I don't care how stupid or lame you may THINK they are. Fire away. I just might surprise you.

10. If you're going to bring someone to the shoot, I need to know WELL IN ADVANCE because I have guidelines that everyone needs to agree to so we're all on the same page.

11. In order to make my friends list half-way useful here on MM, I'm limiting it to those that are in my geographic area or those who I have a strong interest &/or likelihood in working w/.

12. You can also find me on these sites. Feel free & add or follow me if you so desire:
