I prefer to shoot lifestyle and contemporary portrait photography over traditional portraits and studio shots because they portray people in a more bold sense. My sessions are often done outside at interesting locations. I always add creative and artistic enhancements to the photographs in efforts to make them more "alive" and tell a story based on my clients personality and interests.
So if you’re up for a totally different type of photography experience, something totally cool, then I am your photographer...from Fashion Photography to a Child's Portrait and more...
Here are 5 reasons why you should choose me as your photographer:
*I throw in my creativity at the right place, and mix and match different styles, which can be very effective in producing breathtaking photographs.
*Just like photography, photo editing is an art itself. I combine subject matter and multiple digital editing techniques to add a “wow” factor.
*I strive to create magazine-quality images that will exceed your expectations.
*I am constantly learning and applying new techniques and tricks to keep me creatively challenged.
*I believe that “the beauty of a photograph does not stop merely at its existence, but at its potential”.
