F.A.Q.
Q.
Who are you?
A. My
name is Thorpe Griner. I live in the North Texas area, about 40 minutes
North of Dallas. I enjoy
photography....period. People, places, events..... and life in general.
Photography is an interest and a passion I've long had and I enjoy using the
skills I have developed to help others capture important moments and
memories as life zooms by.
Q. What does, "Photography On Location" mean as stated on the front page?
A. Photography On Location means just that. I enjoy traveling to wherever it takes to get a good shot, create an interesting backdrop for a photoshoot or to find the action. Half the fun of photography is getting out there and seeing the world through the lens, capturing a place or a moment someone... somewhere else will never have the chance to see.
Q.
Are you a
professional photographer?
A.
In short,
no. By that, I mean I do not have a day job which is based on
photography. But do not let that fool you into believing I don't do
quality work. By not being a "professional" photographer, I have
no need to charge you sky high professional prices. I can work closely
with you and your photo needs and always work out a price that will leave a
smile on your face. I am a perfectionist in my work and will not be happy
until you are happy.
Q. What
type of photography work do you do?
A. Good
question! I often shoot outdoor sporting events, social events, or
portraits at an outdoor or indoor. To get the best quality photo's I often choose outdoor locations
for most shoots. While I do have a good flash, outdoor lighting always
looks the best!
Q. What
type of equipment do you use?
A. I use
Canon equipment and lenses. I only shoot in RAW format, which is very similar
to a film's negative image. By shooting in RAW, I am able to do much more
with your photo's after the shoot. The post processing work is done in
Adobe software. This is where the RAW file
is "developed" and shooting in this method can really help turn an
average photo into a true keeper. This also means I cannot just give a
CD/DVD with your photo's to you at the site of the photo shoot. They have
to be "developed"!
Q. Ok
sounds good. So, what are your prices?
A. Every photo session
is different. So, contact me with your photography needs and I will
quickly reply with my price for the session. Charging a flat rate might
not be fair to you, or me. Since I want you to always feel you're getting your money's worth,
lets talk about your session and see what we come up with! But I promise it
will always be reasonable.
Q. Great,
I'm interested. How do I contact you?
A. Easy. The best way is by the email link on the front page of the
website. You can also call me and leave a message at 940-230-2449.
Be sure to leave a number to call you back at. Thank you and I look
forward to working with you!
Q. This
website is pretty bad. What gives?
A. Im
a photographer. Not a web designer. If you ARE a web designer
and need photo work done, perhaps we can work out a deal? (Do you see
where this is leading?)
