About Karl Ferguson

Having experienced a variety of fields in the photo industry over the past 13 years, I have constantly challenged myself to take on skills which I believe are necessary in this ever-changing business. While continuing to perform the duties of a photographer on set for my clients, I have added the task of providing basic retouching as an option to complete the final products in-house. Offering this in conjunction with the ability to work with my clients from conception to the final results for their project, completes the full package in providing customer satisfaction. Recently I have taken on the role of digital technician, providing technical support to a number of photographers in the industry. Although a bit more behind the scenes, I find that the role as affords me an opportunity to experience a variety of shooting styles and work flows all while being of service to fellow photographers in the industry. I truly enjoy working with a talented team of people to complete tight deadlines, while maintaining an exciting and fun experience for both clients and employees. With the combination of my previous experiences in management, marketing and photography, I believe I have the ability to help creative teams achieve the best results in final image quality. Greatly increasing the chances of a successful project. Specialties: Portrait/Editorial Photography, Retouching, Creative Management, Creating Concepts, Budgets/Estimates
