The Full Catastrophe: photo memoir

$11,500.00

The Full Catastrophe is your story, told while you're still around to tell it.

If you leave it up to others, they’ll get some of it right. But they won’t know it all, not by a long chalk.

They'll miss the best bits. They'll be kind when they should be honest, and too honest when they should be kind.

Words and pictures. A photo memoir of all the memories that matter.

This is the full box and dice.

______

First we talk. Quite a bit

What you tell me shapes the pictures I take. Then I turn up, shoot, we talk some more. You get candid pictures that look like you on your best day.

Not glossy. Real.

Then I write. Stories told the way a biographer would tell them. Messy and real. With love and laughter.

In other words, just the way they happened.

When there’s a story and pictures that tell your story the way it should be told, we put it all into something you can hold, frame, and hand down.

A legacy gift to pass on. A celebration of life’s chaos.

Price includes:

  • Discussion on project scope and research

  • 2 × 2hr photo sessions minimum

  • 2 × 1hr interviews

  • 40 photographs | 3000 words

  • 64 page hardback photo book

  • 24 page ‘zine | 10 copies

  • 1 x A4 framed photograph printed on 310gsm Hahnemühle photo rag with UV70 non-reflective glass

  • Auckland only photo shoot. Location travel expenses additional cost

Before you buy, it’s really worth having a chat first. When we talk it might not be something that’s right for you. But you’ll soon know.

When you buy, either pay in full or with a 50% deposit. Details in FAQs

On that note please have a read of the terms & FAQs. I mean no-one ever does. But you should. You really should.

Also these things won’t write themselves so there’s a bit of housekeeping to cover off before we can get started.

That buy now button isn’t going anywhere.

Prices include GST
