Professional, unusual and exciting
What I do:
I shoot interesting and stylish photography, mainly of a corporate nature, mainly on location and world wide. I am absolutely committed to what I do and my whole waking life is dedicated to photography.
How I Work:
I spend a lot of time looking. Quite often I shoot with my camera tethered to a computer for greater accuracy and sometimes I shoot hand-held. I build spontaneity and drama into my pictures. I always work with an assistant and there is a small team back in the studio, organising. I go to meetings, come up with ideas, visit locations and generally do whatever is necessary to make your project a success.
I am very experienced with working in difficult, noisy and dangerous places, you’ll find me climbing the side of a tanker 10 miles out at sea, at the top of a 200m tower or happily working next to a 30 ton molten steel pouring.
What you get:
Quality without compromise, style, experience, enthusiasm and help from our team. Exciting and unique brand building images. It makes our clients look different. It gives you an edge.
Questions & Answers:
Q: I have a project that I’m having trouble organising, can you help me?
A: Yes, we have a team to help and advise and Liz is head of production, liz@rakusen.co.uk
Q: What kind of equipment do you use?
A: Only the best, at the present the Hasselblad H4D 50mp which delivers a whopping 145mb file! However, its not the equipment, its the way I use it.
Q:Do you do post production and do you charge?
A: Yes I personally spend hours on client’s files in our digital darkroom and I see this equally as important as the photography. Files come to you beautifully crafted and finished, that makes them better and yes, we make a small charge. Images are first processed in Hasselblad’s Phocus software and then are crafted in Adobe’s CS5 and Lightroom (presently testing v4)
Q: What is the situation with copyright?
A: It is my legal right to retain copyright, but occaisionally we sell it. However we have a much better licensing system that can give you all you should want.
Don’t be frightened, give us a ring.
Q: So, why should I use you?
A: I’m producing really unusual and stylish work, I really am different. I can work with you to make your images stand out from the crowd. If you are from an agency then it will give your client an advantage. If you are a direct client it will give your sales force a greater confidence and strength.
