More about Leon C....
What do you love about your job?
I love the ability to use storytelling to shape my artwork and capture the beauty and reality that surrounds us. The concept that "true beauty lies in the little details, simple and yet so inspiring" resonates deeply with me. Whether I'm on a morning walk for coffee, hiking outdoors, or simply soaking in the sun, I find inspiration in the simplicity and profoundness of everyday moments. This passion drives me to create interesting and inspiring images that reflect the world around us. Additionally, the honor of being a part of my clients' storytelling journey and immortalizing their most important moments is incredibly fulfilling. I also appreciate the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients, from small local businesses to larger brands, providing professional guidance and creating a warm, friendly atmosphere throughout the photoshoot.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I have experience in a wide variety of shoots, including portrait, marketing and commercial photography, fashion, wedding, food, and event photography. Each type of shoot holds its unique challenges and opportunities for creativity. In portrait and lifestyle photography, I focus on capturing the genuine emotions and beauty of my subjects, ensuring that each image tells a personal and meaningful story. For commercial and marketing shoots, I collaborate closely with clients to understand their brand and vision, creating visually compelling images that effectively communicate their message.
When it comes to weddings, I aim to document the love and joy of the special day, paying attention to both the big moments and the little details that make the event unique. In food photography, I strive to highlight the textures, colors, and flavors in a way that evokes a sensory experience for the viewer. For events, I capture the atmosphere and energy, ensuring that the photographs reflect the essence of the occasion.
What makes these shoots special is my dedication to creating a warm and friendly atmosphere, making my clients feel comfortable and at ease. I leverage my extensive experience with image enhancement and editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, to ensure high-quality results that exceed my clients' expectations. Each shoot is approached with the intent to bring out the inner beauty and unique story of the subject, making every image a special and memorable piece of art.
