I need 6 fantastic images..PHOTOGRAPHY....jewelry, portrait, art booth (New Orleans)
Hi there!
I am a jewelry artist and make leather bracelets and belts. I travel around the country and sell my jewelry at art fairs, bazaars, and holiday shows. Often I need to apply to be part of a "juried" art show which requires I submit my life's work via photos. Most often they only allow me to submit 4 or 5 photos which means I need images that capture and reflect my personality, image, quality of work, and creativeness in a snapshot.
I am wanting to hire a photographer to capture 4 or 5 great shots of my jewelry, myself, and my booth. I will need the photos delivered with very specific qualities. I have copied and will paste below the specifications that most of the art fairs require.
I can't wait to meet you! Please take a moment and tell me about yourself. What is your background? Where are you from? How long have you been taking photos? Do you have a website? Do you have references? How much will you charge to deliver these photos to my inbox? When are you available? How long will this process take from start to finish? The more details you can give the better.
