Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
I've been in business since 1996. I've been doing photography exclusively since 2005.
What is your primary product or service?
Photographic fine art on canvas; artwork copying for the web and to sell prints; Giclee printing, custom or wholesale; 360 virtual tours on Google Maps
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I've always been interested in photography. I was the high school photographer and bought my first SLR after graduating from college with money saved while on a business trip. My wife and I decided I would pursue photography full time in 2005.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
First I am very easy to work with. I put that extra effort, which means I spend more time on your product that most photographers/printers. When I create a product for you it is of the highest quality.
In my artwork, I create photo sculptures, no one else does this that I know of. I also embellish my fine art with a clear acrylic gel to add beautiful brush strokes that show texture on my giclee canvas prints.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
I work exclusively out of my house. I have a large room where my 12 pigment color 44 inch Canon printer does it's magic.
Provide detailed directions to your location
I work out of my house so call my contact number for directions.
Which areas do you service?
I generally work within 20 miles or so of Naperville, but I have shot a wedding in Rock Island, and one in Oklahoma City as well.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
I am the owner/photographer.
What are your hours of operation?
I am available during normal business hours. I am very flexible regarding working at times that are convenient for my clients.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
I show my clients their finished product when they come to pick them up. My best compliment is when they first smile at seeing the beautiful prints that I've produced.
