What you can expect
Generally:
The shoot may be studio based, at your place, or on location.
We can meet up in advance to discuss what you are looking for and how we might work together to best achieve it.
You should anticipate a really enjoyable shoot in which you feel comfortable and at ease - as well as appropriately 'fed' and 'watered'.
Throughout you should feel the process is about you. Your suggestions, your close involvement in the process and your feedback are always welcomed
You can choose from a series of 'set' packages or we can develop a shoot that meets your specific needs.
We can do a typical 'portrait' type shoot, or do portraits as part of a different genre - for example with a fashion, lifestyle, architectural or street orientation.
You can bring as many outfits as we have time to shoot
The final images may be in black and white, or colour, or, most likely, a mix of both.
You should end up with a set of stunning images.
It is important to me that you also leave as a very satisfied client who feels enthusiastic about recommending me on to others.
Depending on the 'package' you select, or what we agree:
You can choose whether to do your own hair and make-up or we can use a specialist
You can choose to have as many finally edited images as you want or need
You can choose to have prints made (and framed) of your preferred images, either through ourselves, or byyourselflater.
So choose a package and approach that best meets your needs and budget - and / or call me to discuss options.

Testimonials
"I have had many photo sessions in my life … they have never quite captured what I was looking for … many times falling very far short of my expectations. Not so with Eric Schneider … He put me at ease with his warm, controlled and calming personality. In no time at all I was enjoying myself with playful poses and laughter feeling as if having my photograph taken was what I did for a living. And the results? They were perfect. Eric managed to encapsulate the essence, the exact look and style that I was looking for. I was amazed at how good they all came out - truly amazed! And extraordinarily pleased. My only problem now is how to pick the best of all these brilliant pictures. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone wishing not only to have perfect photographs, but tofeel really good about themselves. I will most certainly be using his services again”

Tashienna
“I was nominated for an award that would … lead to high media interest … and needed to have flattering professionally photographed images of myself to go with articles already being written … I chose Eric to photograph me… he asked me exactly what I wanted … and talked me through how he intended to achieve it… I felt very comfortable during the shoot and I’m extremely pleased with the CD of colour and black and white images Eric produced, He captured me exactly the way I wanted to portray myself. I will definitely be recommending Eric to my friends, clients and business associates”

"Eric is a photographer extraordinaire. I hired him to take a series of photos of me, primarily for my new book … and for my website. (He) has unquestionable abilities for turning a sow’s ear into a silk purse. He’s produced an outstanding series of photos of this challenging subject. Furthermore the service Eric provided was outstanding … for a very reasonable price. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him … My recommendation to anyone is if you want to get shot, get shot by Eric Schneider”

Alice Elizabeth
"Your intention to capture the essence of me in my various roles was a total success .…your creative and relaxed approach to the shoot was very refreshing, despite my own difficulties in relaxing for the camera. You worked patiently and intuitively to capture that intangible quality necessary for my Shiatsu profile shot … you encouraged these different qualities to come out of me at various times, using a variety of means to engage that part of me… you were committed to getting the best photos from the shoot possible, and as such any time-pressures you may have had became irrelevant."
Simon Henderson
"So hard to choose as so many are amazing! … Dress on the stairs look is literally Art with a capital a, everyone who's seen them loves them, … the money shot is the yellow and grey background one. Been told by many it looks like a Chanel advert Thanks again - so so happy with the results”

Kez Raleigh
"Extremely knowledgeable and inspiring Eric was a great pleasure to work with. Only after couple of hours he became one of my favourite photographers for a lifetime. I can’t recommend him enough"
Anastasia
"I had SUCH a brilliant shoot with. He has a unique architectural eye for images making his pictures works of art rather than just pretty portraits and standard fashion photography. That said, he definitely has style and his clear interest in colour and fashion definitely showed! Furthermore, Eric is just a lovely, down to earth guy and so easy to work with. He went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and offered me advice and support throughout. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for something a bit different and eye-catching"
Miranda Langley
"I was so fortunate to be able to shoot with this one of a kind, truly original photographer. … We managed to meet before hand so we both knew what we were aiming for. With him was stepping into a different dimension of modelling, as we were aiming at creating something challenging, alternative and more conceptual for a fashion shoot. I truly believe that what he sees through the lens, is something unique to his eyes that no one else perceives, even if it is there. He truly challenges the perception of the ordinary which made me really excited about the shoot and fully engaged. Not only that but most of all he is a very welcoming, kind and gentle person, easy to get on with and that will put you at great ease. The shoot was in his spacious home studio and he was prompt in offering me food and drinks thorough the shoot …Thanks very much Eric!"
Fiammetta
"I had the most wonderful shoot with Eric. He is incredibly welcoming - I met him at his house / studio and he immediately made me feel welcome and also had great coffee which is always a plus! We sort of just went with the flow and i am so happy with the results- he got the pictures back to me so quickly and i am so impressed with them! Highly recommended!
Isobela Lugosi
"I had a shoot with Eric … and have only good things to say. The shoot was relaxed , Eric is professional and full of ideas. The images are beautiful … Highly recommend"
