Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of gear do you use?
I shoot with a Nikon d810 camera. My go to lenses are the Nikon 35mm 1.4 and Nikon 24-70mm 2.8. The macro lens that I use for almost all of the macro shots is the Nikon 105mm 2.8. For lighting, I use an sb-5000 speedlight.
What's some good starting camera equipment?
I've heard really good things about the Canon Rebel as a starting camera, but I've never used one. One of the most important ways to achieve crisp, clear photos is with proper lighting. I believe you can make beautiful photographs with almost any modern digital camera if you know how to light the photograph. A very cheap & effective lighting solution is to use a Yongnuo speedlite.
How did you turn this into a job? Where do I sign up?
I'm very fortunate to have carved out a career for myself through determination and dumb luck. I think with the continued scale of automation, creativity will become an increasingly coveted skill. Getting into pet photography as a hobby or side-job before relying on it as a sole source of income is recommended.
Do you do photography workshops?
As of summer 2018, I will begin giving workshops! I am currently booked to speak at Meowfest in Vancouver, BC and Cat Camp in NYC.
