I can go on about me if you like but you’re here for you.

Do you care if my grandfather gave me a camera when I was four and ever since I’ve been ‘into’ photography?

I don’t (he didn’t by the way) and honestly that type of backstory is aped everywhere, probably made up and so irrelevant to what you want to know, it’s wasting your time.

The question is, what can I do for you?

Maybe I can add a little bit of the why; after all, you don’t want to invest in someone who’s only in it for the money (I might be), but you do want someone who cares about what they do and, more saliently, cares about you.

Here’s a insight, after every shoot, after I have finished editing and uploaded the photos to your online gallery, I confess I am always a little anxious. I don’t doubt myself, I don’t have imposter syndrome but I do care that you like, even love your photos. It is important to me that the results are what you want and need, hopefully exceeding your expectations.

Am I David Bailey on a crap day? (His, not mine!)

Better than the GOAT on a crap day? I’d be happy with half that! I SAID GOAT!

Am I Annie Leibowitz on a bad day?

Nope. But then she’s reported to be $200k a day, even on a bad day.

But let’s be honest, you probably can’t afford them and will they personally answer your email? (I will)

There are three aspects to what you need to know:

Can I deliver?

The answer is all over my website. Look at my photos. If they hit the spot for you, we’re over that hurdle.

Will we get on and will I give you a decent customer experience?

Look at my testimonials. My Google reviews. Most of the time, I instinctively know how to make someone, you, feel comfortable with the camera.

Go back to my photos. Look at them. Do people look good? (Note: I very very, very, rarely ask people to smile.)

Can you afford me?

I’m almost certainly undercutting Ms Leibowitz, so maybe you can.

Less than Bailey? Did you read that I said GOAT!

Am I ‘cheap’? (well, that’s relative) No. Am I worth it? Hell yes!

So the nub of all this is, don’t waltz on by, let’s dance a little and see what happens. We might even have a laugh!
