Serves Lyndhurst, OH
I have been a working professional photographer for almost 25 years. I still enjoy creating art that is continually improving and evolving. I think making people feel comfortable is one trait that makes my imagery stand out. I attended a 4 year art and design collage in Ohio where I received a degree in art and lighting technology. I am currently based I the Cleveland Ohio area but I do travel and service most of Ohio and also eastern Pennsylvania.

New on Fash
Serves Parma, OH
My many years of experience covering many different types of events is to your advantage, in that I know where to be and when to be there without drawing a lot of attention to myself yet directing the client when necessary. I have been a member of and on the board of directors of one of several professional photography organizations over the years. Bottom line, I enjoy interacting with different types of people and catching their candid expressions.

See-Factor Photography LLC

New on Fash
Serves MIDDLEBRG HTS, OH
I put 36 years of experience behind every photo I take, and I believe that is conveyed in my past work. I can process most bookings in less than 24 hours and provide proofs for the client to view on my website so they're not waiting around for days or weeks to see some results. Lastly, great photography does not have to be expensive. I pride myself on working one on one with the client to help realize their vision of the photo into something they will be proud to display. Everybody's time is precious, but taking the time to get to know my client and connect with them prior to the shoot helps what many consider an awkward time move smoothly....

Your photography questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

The average cost to hire a photographer is $100 to $250 per hour, depending on their experience. However, photography prices vary significantly depending on the type of event or photo session:

The standard tipping etiquette for photographers depends on the type of photo session or event and how happy you are with the photographer's service:

  • Tip a wedding photographer $50 to $200 if the photographer exceeds your expectations. If the photographer works with a second shooter, be sure to tip the second photographer separately.
  • Consider tipping a family portrait photographer, pet photographer, or newborn photographer if you're happy with the photo session. However, tipping is not expected for family portraits taken at a big box store like JC Penney or Wal-Mart.
  • Tipping a photographer is not expected for headshots, commercial photography, real estate photography, or architectural photos.

If you're happy with the photographer's service, post a positive review online and share their photos on your social media.

Follow these tips to save money when you hire a photographer:

  • Book a "mini-session" – a shorter photo session that lasts only 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Choose your favorite photographers and follow them on social media. Some photographers may provide deals and exclusive offers.
  • Hire a less experienced photographer. However, be sure to review their portfolio to confirm they have enough skill to meet your photo needs.
  • Purchase prints from an online retailer instead of ordering them from the photographer.
  • Bundle multiple photo sessions for a discounted price. Some wedding photographers bundle engagement and wedding photos. Other photographers offer a bundle for newborn photos plus additional sessions as your child grows.

Book a wedding photographer as early as possible, ideally as soon as you've confirmed the date with your venue. Headshot, commercial, pet, and family portrait photographers typically don't require as much advanced notice. However, a popular, in-demand photographer may be booked out several months in advance.

Follow these guidelines when searching for a photographer to ensure you find one who is the best match for you:

  • Look for photographers who specialize in the type of photography you want. A photographer who specializes in weddings won't be the best choice for a newborn baby photo shoot, and vice versa.
  • Review their online portfolios to confirm you like their photography style and aesthetic.
  • Read photographer reviews on Fash and Google.
  • Get a contract in writing before making a deposit.
  • Discuss the photo usage and printing rights to confirm how both you and the photographer can use the images. Photographers typically retain the copyright to the images, allowing them to use the photos for marketing and social media.

Ask these questions to help you choose the best photographer for your needs:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • What type of photography do you specialize in?
  • What is your photography style?
  • Do you have an online portfolio I can view?
  • How far in advance should I book my photo shoot?
  • What deposit do you require, and is it refundable?
  • Do you have a photo studio? If not, where will you take the photos?
  • What should I do to prepare for the photo session?
  • How will you deliver the final photos to me?
  • How long will it take to get the photos?
  • Do you offer printed items or photo albums?
  • Who owns the rights to the photos?
  • Will you use my images on social media or your website portfolio?

I highly recommend Kyle/RAWFoto! He has been exceptional to work with at my studio. He is professional and very well educated in not only having a great eye for subject matter, but a fantastic understanding of lighting and perception to obtain the best results in his photography. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fred was very easy to work with. I hired him to take some fall photos of my family at the park. He was prompt and had even scouted the location beforehand. He was very patient with the little kids and willing to spend all the time to get the shots we wanted. He really cares about getting the pictures that you want.
