About / FAQ
Why should I get my imaging work from Shaded Areas?
One of the most common questions I get is
“Why should I hire you instead of someone else?”
I have 5 reasons.
- Customization
- The ability and skill to create or bend an image to your vision will be at your disposal.
- Coherence
- A focus on asking the right questions and frequent progress samples allows for a higher efficacy.
- Reliability
- No one wants a fantastic image the day after it’s due. Your deadline is my deadline.
- Dedication
- I’m always willing to involve myself through to production as needed.
- Transparency
- You’ll never be told about a price, time or scale change at the last minute nor after the fact.

What Are Your Rates?
Rates are tricky with such services. Much like a mechanic I can’t know the cost before I can diagnose the problem. I rate my work based on many factors and I do make special considerations for personal projects and non-profits. For the right situation I’ll make arrangements for profit sharing. To give you some examples of repetitive pricing patterns:
- Portraits or Pinups: $75 – $200
- Web Site Creation: $300 – $500
- Photo Alteration: $40 – $150
- Full Page Illustration $160 – $400
- Quarter Page $40 – $120
Who are you?
No one notable. I’m a illustrator and designer. I’m in school for forensic psychology. I sit on the board of a small non-profit. Over my life I’ve collected a wide array of contradictory traits which somehow have been turned into benefits. In the end I have developed a very high aptitude for communication, spatial awareness, pattern recognition and comprehension of human behavior. This combination of traits makes me good at a lot of things but what I enjoy most if the fabrication of images, which I’m sure you’ve realized by now.
Anything else you think you need to know you probably don’t aside from the fact that I’m prompt, reliable and good in a pinch. I’m confident that anyone who has hired me in the past will vouch for that.
What do you look like?
I will answer that question in the form of a self protrait.
