How I Work
I grew up in Decatur and still shoot most weeks within a few miles of the BeltLine. Red Clay is a one-person studio. You work with me on the planning call, on the day, and when the gallery lands. I am not chasing a look that expires in a year. I am after color, movement, and the version of you that your people already recognize.
What Every Client Receives
Every session delivers a focused gallery of edited, high-resolution photographs, ready to print, share, and keep. No watermarks and no surprise per-image fees.
Working Method & Gear
- ✓ Light Direction: No awkward robotic posing. We move naturally, talk, and let moments unfold organically.
- ✓ Film-Informed Color: Graded to match real Kodak and Fuji medium format film stocks, not muddy automated presets.
- ✓ Archival Delivery: Private online proofing portal with 100% full-resolution JPEG and TIFF downloads for life.
