I began my photography career as a fashion photographer. Christy was a model who worked around the world. The shot on the left was our first date back in the '70's. The shot on the right is us now. We work as a team these days. Christy's experience in front of the camera and also designing and building custom homes for a decade (Give or take a few months) up in North Scottsdale, AZ has given her a great eye for detail and a perspective on creativity that I think is pretty amazing. Add that to my experience and I think we make a pretty darn good team for real estate photography. If you would like to see some of our work other than real estate you can check out www.simonphotographic.net and www.willoart.com.
While I was in the process of putting this site together, showing it to friends, asking for opinions, I had a buddy of mine ask me, “Why real estate? You shoot cool stuff all over the country!”
For lack of a more in depth response, I just said, “I like it, it’s fun.”
Later, as I sat at my computer, I realized that was a pretty darn accurate explanation after all. The reason I’m going after this area of photography a bit more aggressively is simply because I enjoy it. I enjoy the process, it works well with my desire to spend more time at home in Tucson and the desert I love. I meet some great people, and, I get to see some pretty cool homes. There are some great homes here in the Southwest and I really have fun when I get to photograph them.
So, that’s about it for my About page. I’m wanting to take my 4+ decades of experience photographing pretty much anything imaginable and use it to spend more time at home, work with my desert dwelling neighbors, and make some art photographing homes. I think it will be a win/win for everyone.
