Maybe. Maybe not.
Creative work is one of a kind and at the end of the day “expensive” is subjective.
Compared to many of my peers I am “very affordable”. Compared to other colleagues I am “Astronomical”!
You pay for what You value.
People that come to see me generally value:
- authenticity
- vulnerability
- honesty & transparency
- the opportunity to be themselves
- quality imagery
- the ability to explore how their mindset impacts their perception of the portrait
- someone who will treat them as an individual and with respect
And if they don’t value these things, that’s completely fine – there are other photographers out there who can cater to whatever their values are. There is someone for everyone.
I might be “expensive”, but I am worth it. More importantly,
So are You.
