I provide nation wide, low cost, high definition,  digital (22 million pixel and 60 million pixel), medium format, professional photography services for a wide array of clients.

I have worked with all of these vendors, at one time or another.  I am not associated with them and they do not pay me for these recommendations.  I do not know about their fees or their complete range of services.  I am recommending them because they provided a professional service at the event where I met them.  Please let me know about your personal experiences with them, at your own event. 

 


 

 

First and foremost, please consider taking advantage of the experience and perfect resources of a professional event coordinator. 

 

Your event will take time to plan properly and to coordinate all of the various artists or vendors.  An event coordinator can actually help you to save time and money by recommending only the best vendors for your event. 

 

Your professional event coordinator can also be your personal assistant during your event.  They will make sure that you and your event stay on schedule.  That will allow you to have fun and to mingle with your family and friends.  There will be no need to micro-manage your own event.

My professional services


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for your time and your consideration.  I appreciate this opportunity to present my work to you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During the last 38 years, I have personally photographed more than 6,500 Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs, Weddings, Debutante Balls, Private Parties and Corporate Special Events.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what I was born to do. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of my events have only lasted for an hour or so while others have gone on for more than 80 hours, spread out over several months.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have worked with Representatives from the White House, Congress and Senate, as well as with government agencies, law firms, construction companies, helicopter companies, medical centers, ad agencies, national corporations, local businesses, non-profits and with thousands of individual families.

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  My goal, in every assignment, is to capture the very soul of everyone and everything that I shoot.  I am fast, quiet, obsessively detail oriented and professional.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  I will shoot from 150-200 pictures PER HOUR!  I will shoot anything you wish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  You will own and you will receive everything that I will graciously create for you and your family.  I will own nothing.   

 

 

 

.  The Copyrights, for your images, will be transferred to you, upon payment in full.  I will retain a limited reuse authorization, allowing me to use your images to help market my services online, in related publications, in my trade show booth and in my meetings.  Nothing will ever be offered to anyone, at any time or for any reason, for reuse or sale.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  I will charge you $150.00 per hour, with a 1-hour minimum, plus expenses and Sales Tax.  Beyond that 1-hour minimum, I will bill you in 15-minute (quarter-hour) increments.  If you only need 3 and a half hours work, you will only be billed for 3 and a half hours work, plus processing, expenses and Sales Tax.  With my help, you will decide, for yourselves, exactly how much time you will need to buy.

 

 

 

 

.  If you want to simply set a budget ceiling, it will be very easy to set up your entire timeline.  I will not exceed your budget ceiling.  Just let me know how much you want to spend.  We'll assemble your timeline based on your budget.

 

 

 

 

 

.  Depending on how much actual time you buy, I offer thousands of dollars worth of FREE gifts, including free time, free helicopter rides, free meals and free pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  If you are active military, the least I can do, to show my utmost appreciation, is to give you 50% off of your final cost for my services.

 

 

 

 

 

.  I can work with almost any budget.

 

 

 

 

.  I will charge you an additional flat rate of $300.00 to "post-process" all of your original 25mb or 65mb RAW picture files.  This post-production, RAW file conversion process, has to be done and it takes me an extra day or two to complete.

 

 

 

 

.  As required by the State of California, Rule #1528, Sales Taxes will be charged for all of my time and materials, for in-State assignments.

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  This is my company, I will be your photographer and I will work alone unless the job is too large for me to complete in the time allowed.    I never sub-contract with other photographers.  I don't need an assistant, which will save you money.  I don't need a second shooter.  Normally, I can create more worthwhile, emotional, beautifully composed pictures, shooting by myself, than can a team of two or three less-qualified, 35mm shooters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  I routinely shoot more beautiful, properly composed, properly exposed, sharp, high-definition, color-balanced, memorable, emotional, usable images than do competing teams of two or three less-qualified, less experienced, quality-challenged, 35mm camera shooters, at any event.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  I will arrive a couple of hours early, or, in the case of a Destination Event, a couple of days early, at your event, at no extra cost.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  I will be honored to personally shoot, post-process, Photoshop, sharpen and deliver all of your files.  No one else works for me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  I will shoot your wonderful, high definition pictures with the best cameras in the world... Hasselblad H1's.  These are 22 or 60 million pixel, medium format, commercial-grade cameras.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  I will use my studio-quality, soft, flattering, body-wrapping, Lumedyne, on-camera flash system.  I will also use multiple, powerful, Lumedyne, off-camera flash systems, with huge umbrellas and "soft boxes" to light up dark reception ballrooms.  This is what makes my ballroom pictures look so good.  These are the same kinds of lights and controls used for professional magazine shots.

 

 

 

 

 

.  NOTHING will be shot with the smaller, lower cost, consumer-grade, lower quality, 35mm cameras.  35mm cameras can't synchronize their little 35mm cameras with their tiny flash units, at higher shutter speeds.  So, 35mm shooters don't use "flash fill" and that makes their pictures look boring, dull and dark, especially outside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  All of your incredible pictures will be color-balanced, cleaned, cropped, density-controlled, Photoshopped and sharpened before you ever see them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  In about a week, you will receive and you will own all of your original RAW picture files and all of your converted, 300dpi, JPEG and TIFF files.  All of your files will be transferred to your external, USB3, Western Digital 500GB hard drive. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  You'll be able to print your own sharp pictures at my preferred professional photo lab, called "A.V. Partners", in Santa Ana (949.955.3699) or at any professional photo lab in the country...  or I can do it all for you.

 

 

 

 

 

.  Your professionally-printed, Fuji, luster-surfaced,  Crystal Archive, photographic, 8x10 prints will only cost about $2.50/each.  16x20 Fuji prints will only cost you about $12.00/each. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  You do NOT need to buy an album from me or from anyone else.  However, if you want an album, you can build your own or, through me, you can buy any album, from any manufacturer in the world... at wholesale prices.  Beautiful, professional album materials start at about $500.00. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.  If you would like my help designing a beautiful "Coffee Table" album, I will charge $100.00 per hour for any of my professional album design services.  There are as many different albums and album design ideas as there are people to buy them.

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would love to meet with you at your home, office, church, temple or hotel lobby.  You will be able to see, with your own eyes, the amazing colors and details of my huge, 16x20 and 20x24 sample pictures.  I urge you to compare my work with anything you have seen from any other photographer around the country.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There will be no pressure, no obligation and no cost for this first meeting.  It will be my pleasure to meet with you and your family. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not a picture "salesman".  I'm just a professional photographer. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My wonderful work speaks for itself.

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

And, I offer thousands of dollars worth of FREE stuff, including helicopter tours, meals, pictures and time.
