I hired Kevin Hayden for a photography walking tour of the Latin Quarter in Paris. My goal was to receive a practical introduction to manual mode (ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed) in a picturesque setting, and that goal was met. I took photos and did photo-exercises and received immediate, insightful feedback and suggestions for improvement. Kevin's coaching style is sincere, calm, positive and helpful.
As we went from photogenic spot to photogenic spot, Kevin and I developed a rapport and understanding, and I experienced a confidence in him as a photographer. I asked if he would be interested in photographing me, as I don't have photos of myselfand I wanted mementos of my vacation in Paris. He quoted a fair price and we had the photo shoot a couple of days later. I am pleased with the photos he took of me. He helped bring out genuine photogenic expressiveness from me, and helped me minimize my flaws.
After my vacation Kevin sent me high-resolution images from my photoshoot, and I am enjoying them.
My expectations were met and I am satisfied with the photo tour and the photo shoot, and would hire Kevin Hayden again.
