A common question I am asked:

"Do you use digital photography?"

Until 2006, I would have said no, the quality is not as good as film, and I could not print contact sheets, also to give you high quality prints, I would have had to send them to an outside laboratory. Now with £10,000 of the latest cameras, computers and printers, I can do all the work in-house and the quality is even better than film.  The session gives you hard copy contacts just as you would get with films, and of course those spots that only appear when you have a photo sessions can disappear.

I think the most important question I’m not asked is:

"Do you print your own work?"

(please see above)
Answer; Yes. Other photographers send their negatives or digital images to laboratories or outside printers, how can they control the quality of the final print, can they darken or lighten the hair of the client, crop the tree in the background, they can't, but I can.

Another question I am asked regularly:

"Can I share a session?"

Answer: No, the reason is that if I split a session, you would get one and a half rolls each. Often the best shots come from the last roll, when you’ve had nearly 2 hours, to relax
