1.) Joe, with advancements in technology where people are using phones and iPads to take photos, how do you promote and differentiate the quality of the work you do?

The typical person might be able to afford an expensive camera or the latest editing software, but the difference is experience, creativity and vision. I like to emphasize to clients what they are paying for is the experience and expertise of the photographer and videographer.

2.) What types of marketing do you find are most effective to advertise your photography and videography?

The most effective way to advertise now is through social media. We are on Facebook and Twitter. The advantage of being in business for twelve years is word of mouth advertising.

3.) What is your favorite type of subject to photograph or create video for?

My favorite subject is sports. The past five years of being the photographer for the Portland Sea Dogs has been the most enjoyable time. I really love what I do.

I also enjoy weddings, dance recitals, family portraits, and commercial photography. I just love what I do. I love creating memories for my clients.
