Pet & Working Animals - Our animals hold space for us.
It may be in different ways, and for different reasons. And we reciprocate with our appreciation of their beauty, their skill, their loyalty. Celebrate the special bond you share. For a special occasion, to add to a collection, or just because. Let me create enduring images of their unique qualities at home, at the park, in the field, at the show, just about anywhere. I travel to you, offer personalized service and act with integrity. I welcome projects with all species and breeds, and am respectful of the different roles animals play in their owners’ lives. My experience allows me to manage most behaviors (animal and human) and produce exceptional results. My photography strives for an open, informed authenticity and clarity of expression. It is direct, rich in color, tone and detail. I’ll work with you to create a vision, then I’ll make that vision a reality.

Pet & Working Animals - Time waits for no one.
Special moments are hard to pin on the calendar. Choose a time of year that will complement how the images will be used. Then let me work my magic to create a keepsake. For companion pets, young ones to seniors, there’s no better feeling than to capture the experience of a new home, adoption, family moments or seasonal activities. For working and sporting animals, make lasting memories of conformation, trial, and show achievements, or new skills learned in the field. Special discounts for Front Line COVID workers and Veterans. Be aware that autumn is the busiest time of the year because of the upcoming holiday gift and card season.

Pet & Working Animals - Location! Location! Location!
Choose a session location and activity that truly resonate and speak to your relationship. I’ll make happen, outdoors, indoors, day or night, tight quarters, weather be damned. Expect serendipity! I am fully equipped for all situations with the latest digital cameras and lenses. I also travel with a mobile location studio of lights and backgrounds. I’m also an expert with editing and retouching software to smooth out any rough edges. Casual or formal session, we’ll collaborate on style, staging and props. I have a process to make sure you feel comfortable and prepared well in advance of the day of the shoot.

Pet & Working Animals - Fidus means trustworthy, loyal and steadfast.
I started taking photographs at the age of eleven, and never stopped. My love of photography took me from pastime, to art galleries and commercial work, to graduate school, and work as a museum curator. More recently, I’ve been an entrepreneur starting or helping to build a number of branding, marketing and digital services businesses. Put all that together and here’s what you can expect: ★ More relational, less transactional ~ I’m not in it to punch a ticket. I’m in it to capture meaningful moments between animals and their humans and make beautiful images that delight my clients. ★ Accomplished, professional service ~ Simple. With a long career in photography, culture and business, I apply my knowledge and experience across disciplines to meet my clients’ expectations. ★ Act with integrity, take ownership ~ Being honest, organized and forthright makes being accountable easy. Do it right, and everyone goes home happy. ★ Personalized service, exceed expectations ~ Never fails. The closer I listen to my clients, the more distinct, hit-the-nail-on-the-head outcomes are delivered. Oh, and I’ve cared for animals since I was 5 years’ old with my Collie, Schatzie. Since then there have been other dogs and, certainly, cats, a weekend with several hamsters, a few snakes, assorted amphibians, and a brief spell with a chicken. I’ve ridden a few horses too. Today, I’m bound to three critters; my adopted Terrier mix, Babka, and two cats, Shrimpy and Mrs. Hudson.

Pet & Working Animals - 1. Reveal
The first part of my process sets the table. It begins with scheduling a phone call to talk about your goals. Please use the form on the Contact page here, because I’ll be better prepared when we do speak. You can call (646-320-0777) or email (info@fidusfoto.com) if those are easier. During the call we’ll start to personalize your project by discussing the lucky photo model(s), session theme, image style, location, timing and budget. Special requests such as multiple locations or adding additional critters or people are welcome for an additional fee. We’ll also cover display and installation approaches to best present your final art work. Presentation options include social media formats, fine art prints, frame and mounting styles, custom album formats, and seasonal cards. Finally, we’ll review current COVID-19 safety protocols to make sure everyone is informed and working safe. If you like what you hear, we’ll book your project. Confirm your reservation with a little paperwork and a $250 session fee. Total pricing is comprised of two components; the session fee, and a fee for print and digital presentation packages that start at $75.

Pet & Working Animals - 2. Capture
The rubber hits the road in the second stage of the process. There will likely be some back-and-forth by phone or email to confirm final details such as animal preferences and behavior, location planning, props and styling. During this time we’ll also cover what to expect and how to prepare for the photo session. Sessions usually last one to three hours depending on location, theme and styling. My goal is to make this a worry-free experience for you. The day of the session arrives and we’ll be prepared. Since it’s a special occasion we’ll spend a little time letting all participants get familiar and comfortable. Then we’ll work our way through our list of ‘must have’ images, and look for additional images inspired by the location and setting. With the session complete, I’ll begin editing everything down to a manageable set of lightly retouched images. Two weeks after our session you’ll receive a link to a private online gallery of proof images.

Pet & Working Animals - 3. Celebrate
The final stage is a little like getting a treat after a job well done. Your online gallery is where you can review, download and share proof images. We’ll schedule a session review after you’ve spent some time with the images. During the session review we’ll discuss the proofs, select final images and finalize product selection for presentation. I’ll take notes for image refinements and product decisions, and prepare final production files. Your online gallery is where products can be viewed and prototyped with your chosen images. I’ll provide phone or email support throughout the process. In most cases you can expect between 4-6 weeks from session date to order delivery, with most in the middle at 5 weeks. I’ll ask you about any expected deadlines early on and make adjustments to accelerate the process.
