I am a semi professional photographer splitting my time between an office job in the Civil Service and photography. I am however available to hire on any day of the week as I only work part time and have flexible hours. I have been using DSLRs and now mirrorless cameras for around 20 years and have a vast wealth of experience in shooting many genres of photography.
I use professional Sony equipment and have a range of cameras and equipment that will cover any eventuallity as well as back ups for when things very occassionally go wrong.
You don't only hire a photographer but also the equipment they use which is simply not viable to buy if you only want to record events or action occassionally. There will be no hard sell and I will be courteous and professional at all times.
