Bering Photography

Business Description

An elegant and artistic approach to your wedding or any special event in glorious black & white or color, film and digital. My photojournalistic style is based on years of working with professional performing artists, where "capturing the moment" is not an option, but a passion. Flexible competitive rates are suited to your needs, not to prefabricated "packages".

• Do you have a customer satisfaction or refund policy?
  Yes
• What are your qualifications? Have you been professionally trained or certified?
  20 years of experience is the best teacher; a "degree" in photography means very little if one has no "eye".
• What packages do you offer? What are your rates?
  I don't believe in the concept of "packages", my rates are suited to the client's needs
• Do you require a deposit?
  Yes, for weddings the deposit is $300 which is deducted from the final invoice.
• How many pictures do you take?
  I do not limit the number of photos, another reason I don't believe in the concept of "packages".
• Can I keep the negatives?
  Yes
• How many weddings have you photographed?
  Over the years, a great many.
• What is your photographic style?
  Photojournalistic, sometimes with a humorous touch, as I'm a former cartoonist, as well as painter and graphic artist.
• Do you provide black and white photography?
  Specialize in black & white, with quality film that outperforms digital images that are often shot in color and mutated to black & white.
• Do you use digital or film?
  Primarily film, while the images are also scanned onto digital CD's
• Can I see examples of your work?
  You may visit my website to view not only weddings, but a variety of photographic subjects. The site is www.beringphotography.com
• How far are you willing to travel?
  Approximately 150 miles round trip from the Ann Arbor, MI area
• How quickly will I receive my prints?
  Usually within one week.
• What makes you different from other photographers?
  My background is in capturing the elusive and ephemeral nuances of modern dance and theater, as well as "street" shooting. I am also a painter who is fanatical about detailed hand-tinting of photos.
