	General FAQs:

	What makes you different to other studios?
		We’re a contractor-free zone. Many studios employ sub-contractors to go out to jobs, sometimes even without the client being aware that this will occur. Dtales does not employ sub-contractors – the photographer you talk to about the job is the photographer who turns up to make sure the job is done right. Dtales has endeavored to combine good value with great personal service and top quality pictures. We offer a very broad range of services, yet maintain close personal relations with each client and each client is equally valued no matter what level of budget they have. We have a commitment to growth, and this is purely driven by our reputation for quality – we spend little on marketing, and rely instead on previous satisfied customers to spread the good word.

	Do you have a philosophy about your work?
		A very simple one: we do every job as though it were our own. With weddings we place ourselves in the shoes of the client and ask ourselves: if this were my wedding, what pictures would I like to see afterwards? With portraits, we place ourselves in the client’s position and ask: what pictures would I like to have on my wall and show to others? We find this a useful way of ensuring quality outcomes.

	Can you photograph a (fill in the blank) ?
		Yes. We can photograph anything, anywhere. We’ve done cars, dogs, and products.

	Wedding FAQs:

	How can I make sure my wedding pictures are a success?
		No photographer can guarantee perfect results, but with some the chances of a happy outcome are much higher. Planning ahead and having clear communications with the photographer are critical steps. It’s no use asking for a particular shot after the event. An experienced photographer will also make a big difference. Sometimes a beginner gets lucky, but experience means consistency of results, and a good variety of pictures. At Dtales, we take the time with each wedding to plan an itinerary that we believe will satisfy your desire for a care-free day of pleasure and also deliver a variety of pictures that will ensure that pleasure is captured forever.

	Do wedding photographers get over-paid?
		Some are. But everyone has a different idea on what it means to be too expensive. Usually, there is a vague connection between price and quality – the more you pay, the better the work. But not always. Careful shopping around will reward you, and certainly, those that have booked Dtales in the past have saved a lot of money and gotten terrific value. Wedding photography can be a great investment, in the sense that years from now, you’ll be smiling about the results, rather than remembering the expense.

	Why are good wedding albums so expensive?
		In order to understand the economics of wedding albums, it helps to understand the concept of “embedded value”. It’s not just the actual cost of production, but the photographer’s equipment, the photographers years of experience, the skills, the time, and then all the same things again with the actual manufacturer of the album, and the printer as well. All of these components go into an album, not just material. If you were to produce just one album, to the same standard as a typical album from Dtales, and had to buy all the camera equipment, all the printing equipment, all the book-binding equipment, you’d have to outlay several million dollars. Looking at it that way, a price in the thousands is not so bad.

	Business FAQs:

	What is an open-platform business?
		This is the unique business model that Dtales invented and operates under which is yet to be copied by others. It allows other photographers and designers into the studio, and to represent themselves through Dtales. Unlike many studios, we don’t use anonymous and poorly paid contractors who aren’t emotionally invested in the outcome. Our photographers are working directly for you. The advantage to you is that you get a photographer who is completely invested in a quality outcome -- for themselves, and for you.

	I’m interested in portrait photography – how can I make a career of it? ?
		Breaking in and staying in is very tough – the industry is brutally competitive. Melburnians are lucky to have hundreds of wedding & portrait photographers, several of which are as good as you’ll find anywhere on the planet. It is simply not enough for a newcomer to be an expert with cameras, or to know lots about photography. Paying money for a course or degree is no guarantee of work, or employment, and no help at all in actually covering a wedding in an exciting and artistic manner. This kind of field rewards those with initiative and the drive to find their next job. If you believe you have those abilities, you are always welcome to apply to us for a position here. If you’d like to find out how the founder of Dtales , Joshua Winterson, got his start, you can read this article. (It’s a must-read for those wishing to pursue a career in photography, and pretty funny as well.)
