Second Shooting Services

When not booked I would love to partner with like minded photographers who are in need of this services.

ABOUT:

I started my photography business out of Center City Philadelphia in 2015 while residing there.
In 2019 I relocated to New Jersey (Cherry Hill Area) and currently reside in South Jersey.
I provide services throughout the Tri-State Area.

AREA(s) OF FOCUS:

While my business focuses on Corporate & Private Event Photography - not including weddings - I have selectively entered proposals on smaller ceremonies and /or elopements when the situation or venue were of particular interest to me.

I have long recognized and appreciated that while my skill sets transfer to weddings, weddings are a very niche and nuanced business where larger projects are best managed by studios who are focused on executing on the unique needs of those clients. In short I don't have interest in getting bogged down with album creation and marketing deliverables after the service, and clients deserve nothing short of subject matter experts for their once in a lifetime day.

WHY SECOND SHOOTING:

As my greatest passion in photography IS capturing natural, authentic emotion & moments I would love to work with studios as a second shooter. This includes weddings &/or larger corporate event projects. I will bring tangible experience and expertise on a variety or fronts while also being humble enough to recognize and keep perspective of what my role and responsibility is in the second shooter role for someone else’s business.

SUCCESS:

To me the most important element of being successful in this industry is never loosing sight of the service element of the business & being completely prepared for any situation while remaining adeptly and able to pivot when the situation changes. I bring 25 years of experience working in a fortune 100 corporate environment to my own personal business - and this level of professionalism and attention/focus to detail will be brought to anyone who wishes to have me partner with them.

FRAGILITY OF REPUTATION & BRAND:

I recognize and am sensitive to the level of attention any reputable business has invested to build the trust in their brand. Delivering amazing images is only one part of the equation and the client experience is always front & center. I will only strengthen that if you partner with me.

THE LEGAL STUFF:

I am fully insured and cary $1,000,000 in commercial liability coverage as well as E&O and my own equipment coverage. As a second shooter I am not seeking to build my portfolio so we won't need to quibble over my seeking any image usage rights on this image or that image. I never step into a job without dual redundancy from moment of capture on all images.

PERSONAL & PERSONALITY:

On a personal level I am passionate about architectural photography. There is something refreshing about the methodical , technical pace and precision of this genre and shifting (pardon the pun) to manual focus tilt shift lenses to control every aspect of the capture. We don't often get this luxury in the middle of events however I am fully equipped with tilt shift lenses (19mm/24mm/45mm & 85mm) should any special projects or moments require that area of expertise - or you just seek exceptional establishing & detail shots at a venue to deliver to your clients.

We all need to be true and authentic to ourselves and our clients. I am not a "big" personality nor will I attract attention as that "life of the party guy with the camera". I will focus on being the professional, polite, unobtrusive photographer blending into the back ground capturing all the crucial, key memorable moments and details empowering the lead photographer to have total confidence that these shots will be covered - and delivered.

I look forward to finding like minded business owners to partner with for any projects where a professionally, reliable second shooter is a must.
