FAQ
What is private client photography?
A. A personalized paparazzi service for riders who want comprehensive coverage beyond the official photography standard. You receive a curated gallery of high-end images and video clips that reflect an artistic vision and personal connection.
How is this different from the Official Show Photographer?
A. The official photographer is responsible for every horse in the ring, which means they often only get one or two "standard" angles of you. As a private photographer, I am there solely for you. This allows me to move around, find the best light, and capture the "in-between" moments (at the gate, walking back to the barn, or celebrating with your trainer) that the official photographer would miss capturing the next rider.
You also receive a gallery full of artistic high-resolution images already fully edited and ready for download.
What if I show only 2 days? is my fee the same?
A. Yes. The private client fee is the same regardless of whether you show one day or every day.
Will you cover every round?
A. I do my absolute best to be with you for EVERY round as well as warm ups and candids. However, due to the unpredictable nature of live events and shifting ring schedules, I may not catch every single round. That said, my priority is always on quality and storytelling. I focus on capturing the heart of your experience to ensure you receive a full, beautiful gallery of professional images that you will absolutely love.
How many photos will I get?
A. The number of photos/videos depends on how many rounds/days you show. I personally like to deliver a minimum 50 images of in the ring, candids, awards, and warm up images.
However, that being said, my goal is to curate a selection of my best work, rather than delivering "sub par" images to meet a quota. I value quality over quantity.
