Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before anything else, my preference is to walk a jobsite with a prospective client to go over what they're looking for, get an idea of the scope of the work they want done and get back to them with a quote. I don't charge for walk-throughs or quotes.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've became an architecture and interiors specialist in 1975 and have taught what I do through UCLA Extension since 1994.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
My pricing is based on the amount of time it will require to do a job and complete post-production, determined at the time of the initial walk-through.
How did you get started in this business?
I had been a headshot photographer while at UCLA and Cal Arts, when an opportunity presented itself to assist Leland Lee, who had been Julius Shulman's assistant and was a great photographer in his own right. From there I began finding my own clients.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Most of my clients are interior designers and architects in the small to mid-sized category, but I also work with large corporations, such as Marriott, Hyatt and Hilton.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Going to Chicago to photograph the first of Hyatt's new Centric branded hotels. It afforded me the opportunity to flex all of my professional skills: interiors; exteriors; vignettes; restaurant interiors; and people.
What advice would you give a customers looking to hire a vendor in your area of expertise?
The person you hire should already be doing work you admire with the experience to deliver a high level of quality every time out. Working with someone who is sensitive to your needs and your brand is essential.
What questions should customers think through before talking to vendors about their needs?
Be clear about your vision for the end product. What is the story you want told through photographs?
