Hi List A quick introduction about myself as requested.
My name is Jonathan Pollock and I am a photographer specialising in food, drink and still life, using my preferred camera which is a 5/4 Sinar P2 with transparency film. I am keen to get involved with digital photography and have been looking at it for about 3 years. The type of system I am looking at is a one shot capability, which could then print from A6 to bus shelter poster size. 95% of my clients are not so keen and prefer the tried and tested method, the other 5% would like me to offer digital as a service but see it as a far cheaper alternative. So I have a couple of questions to put to you. 1) I have visited most of the professional shops in London for test runs and frankly I have found the salesmen disappointing in their lack of knowledge of the systems they are selling. So can anybody out there point me in the direction of a company that understands the product that it is selling and has a good back up service? 2) The next question is to do with costs to the client. They know what to expect with conventional photography but in my limited experience they do not know what to expect when it comes to digital, only that it should be cheaper! So how does one charge for shooting digitally? So that one can recoup this investment on top of all the other associated costs of running a studio. I very much look forward to receiving your comments.
