Is MANICPROJECT Right For You?

I created a questionnaire that can serve as a guide to help you, the potential client, determine whether MANICPROJECT is the right photographer to collaborate with. The market where I am located - Salt Lake City, UT - is saturated with a specific type of photographer. Let’s call it a “wedding photographer.” Let me be clear: I am NOT trying to impose on their clientele. I have always gone in the opposite direction of what most people consider “popular.” I can’t even say I’ve intentionally done it; it’s just not who I am or what I believe in. Hopefully, the photos you see on this website are proof of this, but just in case it’s not clear, let’s go through the questions:

1. I am looking for:
   A) The most affordable option
   B) A unique point of view

2. I want to create something:
   A) On-trend
   B) Timeless

3. My company needs:
   A) Someone to execute our vision
   B) A strong collaborator

4. I value:
   A) A large volume of images
   B) Quality over quantity

5. I chose my photographer based on:
   A) Their popularity
   B) Their work

6. I prefer:
   A) To fit in
   B) To stand out

7. I won’t compromise on:
   A) Budget
   B) Solid communication and mutual respect

If most of your answers are A, we are most likely not a good match.
We are probably a good match if five or more of your answers are B.

Shari Franke's book "The House of my Mother" is a NY Times Best Seller

Wow, this is pretty incredible. I had the honor of photographing the cover image for Shari’s book “The House of My Mother.” We just learned it debuted at number 1 on the NY Times Best Seller list! Some of the images from the shoot have found their way onto multiple news and editorial outlets. It feels incredible to be part of something this meaningful. Shari was an absolute pleasure to work with. She came into the session knowing exactly the feeling she wanted to portray, and luckily, it was exactly what I was envisioning as well. Rarely are the subject and the photographer fully aligned; sometimes, you need to spend some time getting there. Shari carries her story inside and did a masterful job of emoting it through her eyes and expression. Thank you so much, Rebecca Lima, for styling Shari for the shoot and Paula Dahlberg for not only doing the hair & makeup but also being a calming presence and a great listener.
