Frequently Asked Questions

I have my portfolios set up so that you can look thought them easily and when clicked on will enlarge just that photo. To go back to the portfolio that you were in, simple click the enlarged photograph to close it.

My logo has been deemed “The dancing man”. Though it is thought that he was connected to Kokopelli, the native American flute player, he is not. Sorry for any misunderstandings.

I have been a photographer for about seven years now. In the beginning I was only doing black and white and working in a dark room. Though I loved the work that I did during this time, and the special effects that I did, like simbotia, I moved forward with my photography and started shooting digitally. Since then I have been editing in Photoshop. Even though I shoot mainly digital now, I still see use in keeping my film camera around.

During my time I spent in the dark room, I shot mainly nature and skin. Since then I have been working towards working with people. The past three years I have been refining my talents more so in this area. I still occasionally continue my old work, though its more of the hobby side to what I am doing now.

I am continually doing research to stay up to date on the “in” colors and traditions. To do this, I look at many wedding sites, such as “The Knot” as well as blogs. As for editing trends I try not to stay loyal to just a few sites. I do use PhotoshopRoadmap, Tutorial Outpost and PSDTUTS rather regularly. But I try to search out some other sites from time to time to keep getting fresh ideas and perspectives.

For a bit, I was undecided on a name, but still wanted a signature. The photos that have the Dancing Man Signature on them is the most resent work that I have done.

If I am doing portraits for you, please make sure to bring any addition material with you. A short list of things you may consider:

• Make up
• hair brush and other hair accessories
• Any props you would like to use (Sport equipment, instrument, letter jacket, ect)
• A change of clothing

Keep it simple. Solid colors usually work the best. Also try and stay away from brand names or logos visible on the clothing. I don't want your clothing to over take who you are, and also, whats popular today, may not be in a few years.

This is entirely up to you. The more people fussing over one individual the more chances there are for delays. I do, however, encourage you to bring someone you can be yourself around, even if this person is the one that stands in the back ground making you laugh. Again, the more personality you can bring, the better.

For the photo shoot to be worth while, please allow approximately an hour. With little children, please allow a more flexible time frame. This allows you to be able to give them snacks, drinks and change them as needed.
