Hey, I'm John!

Forgive my enthusiasm, but 'photography is my passion.' My approach to everything I do is guided by this philosophy:

Just because it's nice, doesn't mean it has to be expensive.

The trend of high pricing in photography services is widespread today, and I want to explain why this issue matters to me.

We live in a time when almost everyone has multiple cameras on hand, often integrated into their smartphones. Looking back, the first camera was invented in 1816, and learning photography back then required either significant training or wealth.

Today, it’s easy to learn about photography thanks to readily available resources, allowing many to gain knowledge that rivals professional skills from the past and present.

Historically, photographs were cherished and passed down through generations because they were rare and required considerable skill to produce. Nowadays, we can take countless high-quality photos effortlessly, which was once unimaginable.

This ease of access can sometimes lead to undervaluing the art of photography.

When I see family photos priced in the hundreds or thousands of dollars, it feels excessive. While some photographers are worth their high fees due to their exceptional skills, not everyone can afford that. Sometimes, you don’t need a top-tier photographer to capture special moments—your own camera can do the job.

Memories are precious, and if you can capture them yourself, you’ve succeeded in preserving them. Enjoy your memories and make the most of every moment, as you never know what the future will hold.
