Matthew Alexander's Atlanta Photography FAQs

What Camera Do You Shoot With?

I use a variety of different digital cameras, mostly within the Sony environment. I also have a number of film cameras that I’ve restored that can take beautiful photos on 35mm, 110, 120, Instax, and 4x5 film.

Do You Have Your Own Lighting Equipment?

I have some basic, portable lighting for indoor and outdoor shoots. For more complicated requests, I rent equipment from Apeturent.

I've Never Done a Photoshoot Before and I'm Very Nervous. Will You Help Decide Location and Poses?

Absolutely! Many photoshoots that I do are with people who have never had their photos taken from a professional. I'll make sure to make you comfortable and help you with the whole process - from wardrobe, poses, lighting - and I can even work with other individuals (makeup artists, videographers). My goal is to make sure that you are comfortable with shooting with me, and that you have an excellent time and are happy with the end result.

Who Owns the Photos You Take?

In most cases, I retain ownership of the photos, but you have license to use them as you like. Make sure to check your contract for the specific details of the ownership of your photography. If you need full and exclusive ownership of the photos, make sure to note it in our consult, as it may change the price of your package.

May I Have The Raw Files?

In most cases - I will provide you with edited .jpg files. If you require RAW files for any reason, make sure to note it in our consult, as it may change the price of your package.

May I Edit the Photos After You Provide Them?

It varies contract to contract, but I prefer that you do not alter, crop, adjust, re-color, or use filters on any photographs that I provide.

Do I Have to Tag You on Instagram With Your Photos?

It varies from contract to contract, but generally I will retain ownership of the photos, which means I also prefer that you tag me and credit me in any online or print usage of my photos. If you require the ability to alter your own photos, please make note of it in our consult, as it may change the price of your package. I work very hard to make sure you are satisfied with the end product, and would rather re-edit them myself if you are not fully satisfied with the way that your photos came out.

Do You Do Nude or Boudoir Photography?

I do not.

May I Bring Someone With Me To My Shoot?

Yes - I encourage people to be surrounded by the things and people that make them the most comfortable. If you need a professional make-up artist, or you wish to have people involved with the shoot, or just want the extra company, you're more than welcome to bring someone - just notify me ahead of time!

Are You a LGBTQIA+ friendly photographer?

100%. If you have a LGBTQIA wedding, engagement, or maternity shoot, I will gladly work with you. Anyone who doesn't is a jerk and should go out of business. Please let me know your pronouns ahead of the shoot so I can make sure to properly address you.

Will You Travel Outside of Atlanta for Photography?

Absolutely, but it depends on where the location is, and you may need to cover travel costs. To see if I’ll do photography in nearby areas, contact me directly. I have done photoshoots in New York, Charlotte, Spartanburg, Charleston, and other places.
