Photography Questions
What kinds of photography do you offer?
We specialize in brand and product photography, lifestyle photography, travel photography, food photography, and more. For example, if you have a new product coming out and need photos for your online store or for social media, we’ll take your product out into the field (or in a studio setting) and create imagery for you to use in your upcoming launch. We’ve also had lots of practice standing in as models for outdoor gear. We’ve also worked with models to create imagery that feels natural and authentic. In addition, we have a mobile studio that we can bring to your home or office and capture professional-looking headshots for your website or social media. Last but not least we can create the clean-looking photos many want for their online store.
We’ve got more info on our Recent Projects page.
Do you accept photography jobs outside of Asheville, North Carolina?
We do! Though we love our local clients and jobs, we frequently work for clients in other cities and sometimes even in other countries. We have also had a good number of referrals from past clients that have led to jobs where we end up doing a job for someone we never meet in person. The internet is a beautiful thing!
Are you an Asheville wedding photographer?
No. We shoot photos of pretty much everything except weddings and engagements. We decided in 2016 to move away from those kinds of jobs. If you’re looking for an Asheville-based wedding photographer, we recommend Amelia Fletcher.
Do you have a photography studio in Asheville?
The answer is yes and no. We don’t rent out a specific brick and mortar but we do have a mobile studio which means we can travel to you. We’re also skilled and experienced at scouting various locations and have extensive experience working in new-to-us spaces.
Do you work with models?
Yes, we often work with models and can help you find great talent no matter where you are located. Often times we are also the talent in our projects where we work both in front of and behind the camera.
How much do you charge?
Cost varies by project. Email us at (hello@authenticasheville.com) to tell us a little more about your idea or give us a ring at 828-275-8445. There’s no commitment to reaching out.
Website questions
We are currently not accepting any new website projects.
Will you make me a website using my own (or another photographer’s) photos?
No. We have phased this part of our business out a few years ago. We focus solely on creating content.
Can you update an existing website for me?
Sorry, no. We’ve phased out all aspects of website maintenance as well.
Social media questions
I’ve seen some sponsored content on Instagram. What is that?
When a brand or business is a good fit for us, we’ll create content for them and post that content on our social media channels. Often times our work will also be featured on the client’s social media channels as well. Most recently we’ve partnered with Google Pixel (#teampixel) and Made By Google, Snow Peak, Stio, Explore Asheville, and ENO Hammocks. If you’re interested in partnering with us to promote your product, brand, or service please get in touch.
