I love love love photography. I always have, and even thought I took some courses in university, and am officially 25% Skin and Bones and 75% Photoshop (designer/art director) I still cannot take great photos to save my life. (...yet)
*disclaimer* I did not use 280dg to shoot an event for me, but I DID unconventionally (?) hire them to help me take some photos for a web-project that I was working on... and I managed to wrangle some decent advice and some tutoring on the side. Robert Bava was my go-to and he was incredible. Super professional, accommodating, and he helped me get exactly the shots that my client was looking for.
Robert showed me a wide selection of photos in his portfolio from events, weddings etc and they were all phenomenal. I would not hesitate to hire him in that capacity in the future.
Reasonable rates, arrived on time, quality portfolio and humored all of my insane requests (what if we like.. make some clouds from cotton balls? Can we try that?) He is unbelievably patient, and you can tell he just wanted to do the job right. In the end I got quality results. Highly Recommended.
