4. How long have you been a photographer? I have been working as a full time professional photographer for over 25 years. I started my own studio in January 2000, and havent looked back. I photograph most days of the week, whether it is working on my fineart or photographing for a commercial client. This is my job and passion every day.
5. Do your kids mind being photographed? They love it. They are both creatives and get behind all of my concepts.
6. How did you balance having children and a sucessfull, full time photography career? It was all about balance. I built a nusery at my studio and brought the babies to work with me. I hired a full time nanny who worked from my studio and looked after my children along side me as I worked. They were able to sit in their high chairs and enjoy lunch with the models, and clients in the studio. I am freelance, so if anyone didnt like the situation they didnt have to hire me for their campaign. Not a single client said no, they were all happy working in this way, and as a result my children understand and love my work. My son is now 18 and joining the Flash Studios team next year to intern.
7. What does Limited edition and AP mean? Limited editioned prints come signed and number. This means there will be only the number specified of the editioned prints printed and signed. AP is an artist proof. These prints are the artists own and are not for sale. These can be used for exhibition purposes.
8. How will my print be packaged for delivery? The prints are handled with white cotton gloves. They are protected in tissue paper and gently rolled, then placed in a sturdy cardboard shipping tube. They have extra tissue paper packed at each end so as not to damage the edges. There are no staples and the ends are taped closed.
