My rate is $325+hst/hr. This includes: - A consultation to discuss the details. - The photo session. - Retouching of the images. - Delivery of high-resolution images via online download. - Permission to use images for Commerical purposes.

The process: - Ask a few questions about what the intended use of the images is for and what the client hopes to communicate through the images. - Offer suggestions and input on logistics and final look of the images making sure the business brand is properly represented. - Booking fee collected. A 25% of the total amount is due to formalize the agreement and reserve dates for the shoot. - The remaining balance is due on the day of the shoot. - Images are then delivered within 5-7 days.

I have more than 25 years of experience in photography. I teach photography at a local school, a Toronto based government program in media, and I give various workshops and talks around the GTA. I also have a Business degree in Marketing from Notre Dame University in Beirut and a post-grad Diploma in Communication (specializing in Film) from Concordia University in Montreal.

It started as a hobby when I was a teenager and it quickly became my passion and long-time profession.

Take the time to understand the power of visually communicating your brand. Listen to the advice of the pro who understands the difference between a picture and a visual story. Never go cheap on hiring photographers. It will end up more expensive than you thought.

1- What is the "look" and "feel" of your brand? Are you modern, edgy, traditional, hip, classic, funny? If you can capture that in one sentence and give to your photographer so he/she can try to match your brand feel. 2- What do I need to prepare for the shoot? Especially if you're having team headshots. 3- Do I have a good understanding of Copyright of produced images? Yes you hired a pro to produce the images, but you may not have permission to use produced images for commercial purposes. Make sure you understand the difference and the compensation needed for that part. Most pros include that in the rate. 4- Do I have tight deadlines. It takes time to complete a project. Sometimes the weather is not helpful if the project requires outdoor shooting.
