A great photograph tells a story and conveys intent. A poor photograph does the same while fervently working against you.

$1M / $2M commercial general liability. COIs on request.
Working with me
How do engagements typically work?
Every project starts with a conversation about what you're aiming to accomplish and to determine if we're a good fit. From there I scope the work, send a proposal with clear deliverables and pricing, and collect a signed agreement and 50% deposit before anything is scheduled. The balance is due before final files are delivered. It's a straightforward process that keeps projects moving without surprises on either end.
What does it cost?
My minimum level of engagement for standalone projects is $1,000. Most production days start at $2,000 before applicable line items like mileage, a production assistant, or extended licensing. I don't publish a rate card because scope drives price. A quick conversation gets you a tailored selection of options.
Can you work as more than just a photographer / DoP?
Often, yes. A lot of clients find value in having someone who understands marketing strategy on set, not just someone executing a shot list. I can contribute to campaign planning, direct talent, align visuals with your broader content needs, and help your team implement the creative materials that we make. If you don't have an in-house creative lead, that gap is something I can fill without the overhead of a full hire or additional contractor.
Who owns the work?
I retain copyright by default, that's standard for commercial photography. What you receive is a clearly defined license covering the platforms, duration, and geography we agree on before the shoot. Broader or perpetual rights are available and priced accordingly. If you're not sure what you need, I'll walk you through it.
Do you travel?
Regularly. Home base is Jacksonville with frequent work across Northeast Florida, Southeast Georgia, Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, Savannah, and Athens. If the project warrants it, I'll go further — national and destination work is always worth a conversation.
