About

Welcome to Shogunmaster Photography

We often hear “I Don’t Need a Photographer; I Have an iPhone” a lot! And just to let you know, I have an iPhone as well! And I use it to take a quick shot to post on Facebook or text to someone. But in the studio or on location your images deserve a lot better than that! Images are essential to visual storytelling, and they need to be as good as possible to stand out. Blurry images, odd looking food, and badly lit models just don’t do it! And don’t even get me started on challenges shooting events! But commercial photography services mean that you can avoid all of that!

Experienced photographers and stylists not only have the latest camera gear and lighting equipment at their disposal, they usually have experience and know how to draw on. So when things go wrong, the client is frantic, and deadlines fast approaching the pros are more likely to get it done.

And don’t forget, you are not just taking a picture, you are telling a story. Don’t you want your story the best that it can be? Just snapping away or hamming it up for your next selfie is just not going to cut it. But imagine what a trained eye and skilled operator can create! Still not convinced? Why not head on over to your favorite fashion blog, restaurant site, or that awesome online retailer you just found. We bet the pictures you see didn’t come from a smart phone!

There are two most important days in your life:
"The day you were born and the day you discover that you were born for."

Why Work With Me?

Why not? At Shogunmaster Photography I provide comprehensive event & editorial photography services to handle all of your website, advertising, commercial, product and fashion photography needs. From a onsite shoot of your office for your website to a new head shot for a brochure, we’ve got you covered.

Professionalism
Professionalism is at the heart of every assignment. I approach each event with careful preparation, punctuality, discretion, and a strong understanding of the environment I am working in.
Transparency
Transparency is an essential part of building trust with every client. From the initial consultation through final image delivery, I believe in clear communication, straightforward expectations, and an honest understanding of what each assignment entails.

Mission Statement: To build long term relationships with our customers and clients and provide exceptional customer services by pursuing business through innovation and advanced technology.

Light composure
Light and composition are fundamental to how I tell a visual story. I work intuitively with both natural and controlled lighting, using available light, environmental elements, and carefully considered lighting techniques to shape each image with intention.
Unique vision
Every event and every person has a story worth seeing from a different perspective. My approach is to look beyond the obvious moment and find the details, expressions, interactions, and unexpected instances that give an experience its character.

Purpose:  To be a leader in the event photography field by providing enhanced services, relationship and profitability.

Vision:  To provide quality services that exceeds the expectations of our valued customers.

Ultra HD
Exceptional image quality is an essential part of my photographic approach. I strive to produce high-resolution, highly detailed imagery that preserves the subtle textures, expressions, atmosphere, and defining moments of every assignment.
Focusing knowledges
Sharp, intentional focus is fundamental to creating professional imagery. I understand how to work with autofocus systems, focus points, depth of field, shutter speed, and aperture to maintain precise focus while responding to the unpredictable nature of live events and lifestyle photography.
