What Am I Shooting With?
I create my images in a cozy home studio, I shoot with a full-frame Sony camera of the latest generation, delivering exceptional detail, accurate color reproduction, and stunning sharpness in every shot. For lighting, I use Godox flash strobes, which allow me to create both soft, natural illumination and striking studio effects.
How Much Does a Photoshoot Cost?
Every brand and project is unique. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I offer custom quotes based on the specific scope and requirements of your campaign.
The final investment is determined by several factors:
· Scope of Work: (e.g., number of final images, e-commerce packshots vs. campaign creative)
· Usage & Licensing: (Where and for how long the images will be used: website, social media, national advertising)
· Production Complexity: (studio rental, props, stylist, assistants)
· Post-Production: (extensive retouching, compositing)
Let’s discuss your vision and I’ll provide a detailed proposal and quote tailored to your needs.
How It Works?
Every shoot is a creative collaboration. Here’s how the process usually goes:
1. Initial Inquiry
You share your product, goals, and any visual direction. We discuss the scope, timing, and what you’re hoping to achieve.
2. Concept & Planning
I develop ideas and reference images to align on the mood and style. We talk about angles, colors, props, and lighting.
3. Product Delivery
You ship your products to my home studio in California. Everything is handled with care and stored safely until the shoot.
4. Photoshoot
I photograph your products based on the approved concept. Previews can be shared during the process if needed.
5. Selection & Editing
You review the best images for final approval. Once confirmed, I retouch and finalize each image with attention to detail.
6. Delivery
You receive your high-resolution images via a secure online gallery, neatly organized and ready to use.
