Product Photography
Product photography is not just about aesthetics. It is also about the story behind the photo, no matter how minimalist it may appear. The challenge is finding the lines in the sand, between making the product look fabulous, creating a great picture while enticing the viewer to want a piece of whatever they are looking at.

Portrait Photography
Despite selfies being very popular thanks to the advent of camera phones, I believe that being given the opportunity to take someone's portrait is serious business, and one with immense responsibility. Between getting the talent(s) relaxed in front of the camera and the lights right for the shoot, I believe it's more than just a click of the camera to get a good portraiture right.
