FAQ

SPECIALTIES

• Can you make my product stand out at a huge national trade show?

  The bigger, the better! We have over 25 years of experience making people, places and products look amazing.

• I love your work. Can you shoot my daughter's wedding?

  Thanks for asking. We don't produce wedding photography. It's not a segment of the industry we cater to. We do have good relationships with area wedding photographers that we are happy to refer you to.

• I need some photos, but I always look terrible in pictures....

  We hear that all the time! We have a secret - the more relaxed you feel, the better your portrait will be. This is why Steve takes a bit of time prior to shooting to get to know you and get you a bit more relaxed. This isn't a dental visit after all!

• I need staff portraits. Do you shoot head shots?

  You bet! We can travel to your office or produce head shots in our centrally located studio.

• What if I don't know exactly what kind of shot I want?

  This is one of the reasons we love to sit down prior to a production and talk through your needs. Often times the collaboration prior to a shoot clears up many questions and allows everyone to be much more organized.

EXPERT ASSISTANCE

  That depends on the food and what you're wanting. Food stylists bring a lot of specific expertise to the table and are an invaluable resource for certain shoots.

  Yes, we oftentimes work with modeling agencies as well as known local talent to achieve exactly the demographic you desire.

  No problem. We've perfected "virtual art direction". A client can be involved with a photo production via the internet anywhere in the world in real time!

• The location I need shot is only available for an hour. Can you get the shots

  We know a there are times when a CEO or even an operating room is only available for 5 minutes! We are very respectful of these kinds of constraints and have produced some really compelling imagery in a short amount of time. Having a seamless team of photographer and assistant definitely helps.
