Meet for a face-to-face interview (if possible). Explain my work philosophy to the client, and learn about their wishes and expectations from me and my work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over twenty-five years of experience as a photographer. I brought the journalistic style event photography to Nebraska, after honing it as a photographer in Maryland and on Capitol Hill.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I have a creative hourly fee for photography, with a set price list for prints and books. I can give a price quote one I have a clear understanding of the project's scope and size.
How did you get started in this business?
I followed my interest, answering the question of "how deep can I go with this", where 'this' is photography.
What types of customers have you worked with?
My client types vary considerably, the common thread to most of them is deep appreciation to art and quality.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I photographed a wedding where rifts and tension within the family caused the bride and groom to walk on an emotional haywire. It had a happy ending, but the situation triggered many moments to appear unpredictable.
What advice would you give a customers looking to hire a vendor in your area of expertise?
Do the legwork by using your legs, not your fingers. Meet in person and interview as many people as you can, not necessarily to compare but to learn. When you will make a choice you will do so from a position of personal knowledge and intelligence, not theoretical numbers.
What questions should customers think through before talking to vendors about their needs?
How important is this segment or service to the overall goal of the event?
How does a particular vendor fit my needs and expectations?
How comfortable do I feel about this vendor taking part in my event?
