What Gear Do You Use?
A question I get asked at least once a week, and I always tell people that your gear doesn’t define how good of a photographer and/or videographer you are but it certainly helps in the future! I started out with a Canon 600D with the kit lens (built back in 2011), and gained a substantial following just with this set up, including getting some of my work published in magazines. But, since then my gear has upgraded, so If you still want to know what I use, I’ve listed the basics below:
Canon EOS R6 (Full Frame, Mirrorless Camera)
Canon 17-40MM Lens
Sigma 28MM F1.4
Manfrotto Element Tripod
Neweer Vision 4 Strobe + Softbox
DJI Ronin M Gimbal
Where Do You Mainly Shoot?
As a professional automotive photographer based in Aberystwyth, I have the flexibility to shoot in a variety of locations based on the specific requirements of each project. While Aberystwyth and its surrounding areas offer beautiful landscapes and unique backdrops, I also have the ability to travel to different locations both within Wales and beyond.
I understand that each vehicle has its own personality and may require a specific setting to truly showcase its beauty. Whether it's capturing the elegance of a classic car against a stunning coastal backdrop or highlighting the power and performance of a sports car on a winding country road, I am dedicated to finding the perfect location that enhances the visual narrative of your automotive subjects.
Ultimately, my aim is to create visually striking images that exceed your expectations, regardless of the shooting location. I am always open to discussing location options and finding the perfect setting that aligns with your vision and goals.
Please feel free to share your preferences, and together we can determine the ideal shooting locations to bring your automotive photography project to life.
What is Your Turnaround Time For Shoots?
I understand the importance of receiving your content promptly, and I strive to deliver high-quality results within a reasonable timeframe.
The exact turnaround time can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. For photography, I typically aim to provide a selection of edited images within 1 to 2 weeks after the shoot. This allows me to meticulously process and enhance the photos to ensure they meet the highest standards.
When it comes to videos, the timeline may be slightly longer as it involves additional editing and post-production work. On average, I aim to deliver a final edited video within 2 to 4 weeks after the shoot. However, please note that the timeframe may vary based on the length and complexity of the video production.
Rest assured, I value open communication and will keep you informed throughout the process, providing updates on the progress and any potential adjustments to the timeline.
If you have any specific time constraints or deadlines for your project, please let me know, and I will do my best to accommodate them.
I pride myself on delivering exceptional quality and ensuring client satisfaction. I appreciate your understanding and patience as I work diligently to provide you with stunning visuals that capture the essence of your automotive subjects.
What are your prices?
Pricing for my services can vary depending on several factors such as the scope of the project, location, duration of the shoot, and specific client requirements. I offer tailored packages to suit the unique needs and budgets of my clients.
To provide you with accurate pricing information, I would be happy to discuss your specific project details, including the type of vehicles involved, the intended usage of the images, and any specific requirements you may have. This will allow me to provide you with a customized quote that aligns with your expectations and budget.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly so we can further discuss your project and provide you with a detailed pricing proposal. I look forward to collaborating with you and capturing the beauty of your automotive subjects in the most compelling way possible.
Do you only shoot for companies?
As a professional automotive photographer, my focus is not solely limited to shooting for companies. While I do have extensive experience working with businesses in the automotive industry, I also cater to individual car enthusiasts, collectors, and private clients. Whether it's capturing the essence of a vintage classic, the sleek lines of a modern sports car, or documenting automotive events, my passion lies in creating visually stunning images that resonate with all car enthusiasts. I believe that every car has a story to tell, regardless of whether it belongs to a company or an individual. So, whether you're a business or an individual looking to capture the beauty of your vehicle, I'm here to bring your vision to life and showcase the unique personality of your automotive pride and joy.
