What do you love most about your job?
Simply, taking a great photograph. When all of the work and preparation and planning come together for one brief moment. It's like hitting a home-run, it feels that good.
Why should our clients choose you?
We have never executed a job that fell behind schedule or ran over budget. If we quote you a price and timeline, we stick to that unless there are extraordinary circumstances beyond our control.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Since the advent of digital photography, it has been theoretically possible to work remotely, but it was never terribly efficient. Now, however, all of the systems have matured to the point that we can throw a live feed to anyone, anywhere that has internet access. Proofing, retouching, and editing services are handled through the cloud as well, with robust workgroup functionality.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
All shoots are 100% masked for the time being. Larger shoots feature a Covid monitor, typically an EMT with Covid-specific training to screen participants, direct cleaning, and monitor social distancing.
Architectural Photography
Custom interior and exterior images of any structure or space, usually commissioned by architects, builders, designers, and homeowners. A typical shoot takes about 8 hours, and features a professional photo stylist who arranges and props all shots. Depending on the project, some images are created using only daylight, with artificial light, or a mix of the two.
Product Photography
Products can be photographed in the studio or location depending on the needs of the client. A product shoot can run from a half of a day to multiple weeks, according to the size and difficulty of the product line. Product shoots typically employ a professional photo stylist to prepare and style the products.
People Photography
People photography can range from a simple headshot for an actor or executive, to lifestyle images for editorial use, to portraits used in advertising. Usually shot on location with a photographer and an assistant, employing a mix of natural and artificial light.
Post-production and Retouching
Whatever it takes to make your images look their absolute best. This can range from simple blemish removal to wholesale surgery compositing multiple images. Delivery is also part of the service: images formatted to your specifications and delivered through the cloud for easy access and safekeeping. Can be billed hourly, or piece-rate.
