FAQ's

What cameras have you shot with?

 

Canon 5D Mark II and Mark III, Canon 7D, Canon t2i and t3i, Nikon D3000 and D7000, Pentex ME, and Hasslebald h4D-40. My preference lies with Canon 5D.

01

What should I wear?

 

This can go one of two ways. If it's for a specific project, such as headshots to be cast in a film, I'll ask the details of the casting. Then I'll ask to bring clothing that identify with that project, and I'll style you. If it's based on my theme or vision, I'll just ask you to bring items based on an inspiration board I create for each individual shoot, and style you.
