e believe there is such a thing as being -- original. Without it, no matter how good the imitation,
you have nothing more than a copy. Our creative vision and technical skills in lighting and
directing combined with time-tested photographic techniques allow us to create powerful,
branding images that will increase sales for our clients.
We believe that a photographic image has an intangible value. If you want to know the true value of a
photograph just ask the person that rushed inside of their burning home what item they brought out
with them. Or, ask the former executive that ran an unsuccessful, multi-million dollar advertising campaign
into the ground after paying the kid across the street to take the photograph.
Would you rather have a Lamborghini mechanic working on your Honda or a Honda mechanic working
on your Lamborghini? There lays the definition on how we define our ‘value’ to you. We are the
Lamborghini mechanics of Photography. We handle the difficult jobs with ease because our experience
has told us what to expect in advance. This is accomplished by knowing the precise wants, needs and
expectations of our clients, before we even prepare an estimate. The benefit we provide our clients is in
combining technical and aesthetic expertise to create our original vision of the photography that meets
the clients needs. What we do is supposed to be fun.
A photograph created by a Professional Photographer is a much more highly involved process than what
someone sees as the finished product in a magazine or on a billboard. It requires a deep understanding of
the psychology, history and technique of lighting, color, art and design. While at the same time it must be
a fresh, creative and original idea.
We ask a great deal of questions from you even before the estimate leaves our office and lands at yours.
We will be thorough in our questioning, this will enable us to understand your wants and needs better.
This will allow us the opportunity to work hard to create a photograph that will not only fit your needs,
but also create brand awareness in your product. We ensure that we have the correct people and equipment
required, to ensure the successful outcome of the production.
We know how hard it is to get a customer and we will work hard to ensure that we retain those customers that have
allowed us the opportunity to work with them. We are more concerned with the repeat business down the road.
We will not cut corners like the builder who remodelled your kitchen only to find out later that the job was finished
incorrectly. We will do the job properly the first time out and earn the opportunity to work with you again. We
hire only qualified and talented people to complete tasks for us that meet our own high expectations. If that means
having a set built or HMI lights on standby to recreate sunshine in the event it rains, that is what we will do.
We will work with budgets of all sizes. Our estimate will be prepared to handle the contingencies of any given job.
We are detail oriented and notice the little things others take for granted, such as your happiness.
We might be more expensive than the other firms of similar ability and experience, but we will cost you less.1
Some clients may baulk at our fees. Others see the value we provide which is the peace of mind one has when
leaving a job in the hands of competent professionals. We provide a professional service and a unique visual style
that will help set your product apart from your competitors. We are also able to meet with you in person to consult
with you regarding your photographic needs. During these meetings we will be able to determine what your precise
requirements are for the given job. We look forward to meeting you and working to create a memorable photograph
for you. Can we please have an opportunity to work with you, if we can show you how well our company can help
yours, by creating photographs for you that will increase awareness in your products?
Sage Advice
It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much,
you lose a little money, that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything,
because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.
The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot -- it can't
be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run,
and if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better.
1John Ruskin (1819-1900)
British writer and art critic who considered a great painting
to be one who conveys great ideas to the viewer.
