Commercial Photography & Video
A career in commercial advertising photography & video production spanning 30+ years made me a well rounded photographer and videographer. So I am equally comfortable shooting product photography in the studio or setting up in the remote Alaska wilderness. By combining technical expertise and artistry I am committed to getting the photos and video you need on time and on budget.
Aerial Photography & Video Production
Drones or UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles) allow me to capture images and video from a perspective and angle that is otherwise not possible with traditional camera setups. Stationing cameras high in the sky makes stunning, holistic shots possible.
FAA Requires Licensed Pilots for Commercial Work
The FAA requires all drone flights used for commercial photography or video to be performed by a licensed UAV pilot. I get it. Because it is important for everyone to know that not only will your imagery be captured with technical perfection but it will be done in a safe and ethical manner.
- FAA Part 107 UAV licensed and fully insured.
- A fixed wing pilot is ready and available to help with any projects that are more appropriate on that platform.
Advertising Photography
It is imperative that your brand message is received loud and clear among the avalanche of stimulus we encounter every day. Therefore, the imagery you use must be consistent with your vision and must support the story you are telling. I have enjoyed 30+ years working in Commercial advertising photography – specifically in the marketing, advertising and tourism industries. So you can trust I will take your concept and create a finished photograph that will make your brand stand out above the rest.
Photo Scanning Services
PHOTO SCANNING
Photographs are accepted in all shapes, sizes and condition and all are scanned at high resolution using a flatbed scanner to ensure edge to edge sharpness. Scanning resolution varies based on the original media format but range between 600dpi for most photographs and to 4000dpi for slides and negatives. Wallet sized photos are scanned at 1200dpi.
If requested, the back of photographs can be scanned to capture the descriptive annotations of who, what, when, where, etc. The back side will follow the front as a secondary image in sequence and will be charged at half the price of the image side.
The digital files are place inside custom folders based on how I receive the photographs. You will receive the files by either digital download or on a thumb drive.
PHOTO RESTORATION
Professional restoration services include removal of wrinkles, creases, tears, and stains, as well as improving color or fading to bring new life to old photos. So what you get back will be high resolution, digitally restored images ready to print.
SLIDE & NEGATIVE FILM SCANNING
High resolution, custom slide scans preserve yesterday’s photo memories for today’s digital age. All size and formats of slides are accepted. And color correction and removal of scratches and dust is included for quality results. Slides can come in boxes, carousels or in magazine holders. Everything will be returned in the same packaging as we received them.
Each slide or negative is inspected and cleaned to help produce the best quality images. They are then scanned at 4000dpi. Because the higher the resolution, the greater flexibility for you have for cropping and enlarging the digital images for prints.
CUSTOM PHOTOSHOP EDITING INCLUDED
Each photo is edited for the best possible quality results. We correct color and contrast, digitally repair spots and scratches and provide red eye correction as needed.
