My philosophy on photography

The difference is in the details. Most photographers replicate standard lighting setups without checking if they actually work for the person in the photo. The choice of, lens, lighting modifier and lighting configuration is something that varies widely from person-to-person. I meticulously tailor the lighting to your unique features, refining based on what I see in the viewfinder—because everyone is different.
