We hired RCM Imaging to provide photos of our products to be posted on various e-commerce sites- they did a great job! They were a pleasure to work with, knowledgeable, responsive, extremely accommodating and most importantly, they competed out project on time and below budget! The owner Rick, is a seasoned professional and was very helpful in getting us the most out of our photography needs. We will be hiring him again for additional photo shoots and a video production! Keep up the great work Rick and RCM! More...

Rick has the creativity to make simple photos pop with design and color that tell the story that's better than a thousand words. You can hear the thought behind each image, it's much more than a photo, it's a statement. More...
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The secret is a combination of the subject's attitude which includes a clear understanding of the use of the image combined the expertise of the photographer.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
The primary questions are related to the purpose of the photographs or videos desired, the scope and size of the project (number of final images, and how they will be used), and the venue(s) where the shoot(s) will occur. Other questions include the needed turn-around time, desired shoot date(s), and of course the budget.
Why should our clients choose you?
We do our best to provide solutions to problems, and to meet the desires and expectations of the client. I understand budgets and related constraints - I am also a small business owner/operator. Experience, expertise, and a "can-do" attitude are brought to every client engagement.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can handle almost all product photography without the need for a client to be in the studio or on the location but certainly, clients are welcome to be in-person on the set if they so choose. Arrangements for services and/or questions can be handled in person or indirectly; I can set up virtual exchange if you so desire.
Commercial Photography Services for Small Businesses
I offer the typical commercial photography services that large corporations and advertising houses demand but are packaged in a way that can make them affordable for most small and growing businesses. These services including photography and videography, as well as drone/UAV platformed imagery and special effect imagery. I also provide a full spectrum of real estate-related imagery services.
Product Photography
We provide excellent product photography solutions for large and small businesses. Examples include eCommerce photos with pure white backgrounds, products captured in a lifestyle setting, certain special effects, and much more. We can do product photos in our studio or on location. We provide 360 rotational images, videos, and more.
Headshots and Portraiture
Although most of our clients are commercial customers, we also provide headshots for individuals. These services are offered on a concierge basis, meaning we capture the images on-location; we bring the studio lights, backdrops, etc. to the client. This enables us to provide both studio lighting and ambient/available light photography, as well as lifestyle captures.

Aerial | Drone/UAV Platform Photography and Videography
I hold a commercial operator certificate from the FAA - Part 107), which is required of anyone conducting commercial operations.
