Want some details on my services and prices ? Here you go...

I create candid and posed photographs that will preserve your memories, capture your event, immortalize your pet, or showcase your home.

I also produce photo slideshows for an entertaining presentation of your photographs, and they can play on any device or website.

Your satisfaction with the images produced is my ultimate concern, along with providing an enjoyable experience during the photography session.

Years of training and experience supplement the premium hardware and software used to capture and create your important images. I review and edit every image to my best personal satisfaction before ever showing them to you. I do not 'mass produce' images.

I am based in New Haven, CT covering all of Connecticut. I provide location based photography - there's no studio.

I characterize my photography as being about your favorite "faces and places", which encompasses:

Real Estate Photography - Since buying real estate is a very visual experience, the photographs of your home are of great importance, they're the first impression any buyer will have, and the magic moment to capture their interest. I use HDR photography to capture the natural beauty of your home without flash lightning. It's very labor and computer intensive but the results are, well, awesome.

Use of Images and Copyright information:

As stated in U.S. Copyright law, and as affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court, the moment an image is created - whether on film, a digital sensor, etc. - it becomes the property of the person taking the image (unless they are a regular employee who's duties include photography, like for a news organization).

As such, the photographer has control over each and every copy of an image, whether it be in print or electronic format.

When you purchase a copy of an image, you are actually getting a "license" to use that copy, as specified by the photographer.

I generally provide generous licensing and digital copies for personal use, with minor restrictions. However, commercially used images may have more restricts, a time limit, and increased fees because they are meant to increase revenues for an organization. A licensing agreement is done for every project.

Even regular photo processors such as Walgreens can detect a professional photo and ask for a 'release' (license) to make prints.

I hope this information has been helpful. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you,
