How do we create our photography? It's simple we bring lighting! Well, I guess it's not that simple. We also bring over 25 years of understanding photography. As we know we have available light all around us, but as a photographer, our job is to also create images with light and that's just we do. It can take anywhere from one to two hours to light a room. We bring an arsenal of tungsten and strobe lights to create the fine-crafted images you see in our portfolio.
Potential clients ask us all the time "do we do HDR photography?" Absolutely not! I repeat absolutely not! We are a professional photography company. From the disciplined days of film to the digital era we are in now, we are masters in our craft. Daniel Newcomb holds an AS degree in commercial applied photography as well as an AA in fine art. Coming from the era of film to digital we have a complex understanding of photography and we can create images of light, art, and passion. HDR photography should never be in a professional photographer's wheelhouse. It belongs on an iPhone for your family snapshots. If you have hired an HDR amateur before then you have hired a computer to take snapshots for you, not photographs.
Our team brings in over 30 lights to a photoshoot. Some times we use one light and other times the complete kit. This all depends on the mood we are trying to create in a given room. In a one-day shoot we create 8 fine-crafted interior images plus exteriors. We work on the skill set of quality over quantity. We do not walk around shooting 20-30 HDR images of, let's say for example, the living room and then send you hundreds of compressed low-quality JPEG files at the end of a photoshoot in hopes that a computer algorithm caught and mashed together a good enough shot. We are far more skilled and respectful in our business.
We like to do a walk-through with you on the morning of the shoot and outline the shooting schedule. Then, together, we determine what angles work and what does not and elaborate on why. This way we don't waste time shooting in hopes that we capture a great image. We instead know we will create excellent images by taking our time to analyze, craft, and meticulously light 8 masterful images. At the end of the shoot, you will receive finished high-quality images with exquisitely crafted lighting. I always say "We don't take pictures. We create images."
With our insight into how light and shadows manifest the best mood and essence a room has to offer we create photographic art of your space. You take great care in how you plan, build, and design each and every room. We understand and honor this process, and it reflects in our own careful and considerate photographic process. Please have a look at my web page and review my lighting and composition skills compared to my competitors. You surely will notice a difference.
Our company is granted access to the top homeowners in this industry for a reason (see our web page to see The Tommy Hilfiger Estate, Hard Rock Hotels, Kenny Rogers Estate, and many more). Our technical and professional know-how, our final images, and our fun relaxing moods that we bring to the shoot help create the images that will sell your product and ensure you’re satisfied.
Photography is not just a job to us, it is our passion, and we are gifted to be able to do what we love for a living. Let us help bring your images up to the quality of work that you produce!
