I treat every project as HIPAA-conscious from the start. Written patient release forms are part of the production package. Patient identifiers are never published without explicit, signed consent. If a patient declines, I shoot around them. The workflow is built around privacy, consent, and patient comfort from the beginning.

Yes. I have shot inside active operating rooms and surgical suites. I follow the sterile-field protocols your clinical staff direct, stay outside the marked zones, and use longer focal lengths when proximity is not appropriate. If your facility requires PPE, gowning, or pre-shoot briefing, I follow it without negotiation.

The goal is not to slow down your day. The job is to capture your workflow, not redirect it. I work around your schedule, patient flow, and staff. Setup and tear-down are quick, and I will not ask you to rearrange your operatory or treatment room just to force a shot.

Standard delivery is 7 to 14 business days for photography and 2 to 4 weeks for video, depending on scope. Faster turnarounds are available when a campaign or launch date requires them. Timeline is set during consultation and held throughout the project.

Pricing depends on scope, deliverables, and licensing. Typical practice photography projects range from $1,500 for a focused half-day to $10,000+ for full multi-day shoots that include video, photography, and post. I quote every project after a consultation so the scope, deliverables, usage, and timeline are clear.

By default, I retain copyright to the photos and video I create. Under U.S. copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 201), the photographer is the default copyright owner of any image or video produced, regardless of payment. You receive a written license to use the work for the purposes we agree on during the project: practice website, social media, paid advertising, patient education, training materials, print, and long-term brand use. Licensing terms are spelled out in the contract so there are no surprises. Full ownership transfer is available for an additional fee if your practice requires it.

Sony Alpha 1 as the primary camera, Sony A7 III as backup, with the full Tamron Americas professional lens kit. The Tamron 35-150mm and 17-28mm cover almost every clinical situation. Drone work is shot on the DJI Mavic 4 Pro under FAA Part 107 certification.

Yes. I'm based in Bridgeville, PA and serve Pittsburgh, the South Hills, and all of Western Pennsylvania at standard rates. Wider travel is available and quoted into the project.

It happens. Surgery schedules and patient cases are unpredictable. If a procedure moves or cancels the day of, I work with your practice to adjust the coverage plan or reschedule the affected portion based on the project scope and agreement.
