K.I.S.S. Portraits – Keeping it Simple in Commercial Photography

Recently I did a corporate portrait session for a local Biotech and it was the first one I think I've ever rolled in with just 50mm and 85mm prime lenses and a camera for the most part. Of course I always tote a backup camera and some lighting gear along for the ride but the K.I.S.S. method prevailed because of the beautiful window light and great overall blue color cast of their office environment. There are many factors that can…

Bag Check: Food Photography

One of the nice things about food photography is you don't have to sell your little brother into slavery and mortgage your house to get professional results. Since each photography assignment is a little different and a little special, I decided to do a little "bag check" post today about the equipment I typically use as a professional food photographer. This is my personal kit and is geared mainly toward food magazine work and other in-restaurant types of photo shoots.…

White Seamless Studio Setup

One of the questions I get asked a lot in classes and workshops is how to achieve a pure white background without a lot of Photoshop knockout. Well, the short answer is to simply light your background about one stop brighter than your subject. In this case, my background is a 9 foot wide roll of white Savage 107X12-1 Seamless Background Paper - Super White. . For the floor, I've used white tile board from The Home Depot which…

Optimizing Photos for Facebook Display

It's no secret that the 'ol Book of Faces can be a great marketing tool for photographers as well as just a generally fun place to show off some family photos. Facebook, however, has a tendency to compress, convert, or otherwise mangle your photos if you don't do some image prep ahead of time to maximize their display quality. Here are some steps I'd recommend to optimize your images for Facebook display. I recommend using Photoshop but you could certainly…

Rob is awesome. He's very easy going, and he shares tips and information that really matter. He's a great listener, and put me right in the driver's seat so I could learn hands-on. I highly recommend him.

I’ve worked with Rob 10+ times on various projects. I’m a branding director, packaging designer, and former professor of design at PLNU so I’ve worked with quite a few different agencies around town. Rob has become my go-to recommendation to everyone. His skill elevates the work, he’s great at working with teams, and his production process is professional and fast. Especially if you do anything e-commerce getting great photography will make a bigger impact to sales than just about anything else you could do.

I needed a professional headshot super fast, and Rob delivered! I'm starting a new job, and my boss wanted me to send a headshot to go out with the hiring announcement to the team. And she wanted it the next day! I called Rob at 3 p.m. based on his great reviews. He got back to me right away, he did the headshot the next morning, and by 4 p.m. I had a really nice pro headshot in my inbox! Rob was very laid back and I felt very comfortable with him. He also did a nice job retouching the photo without overdoing it. Highly recommend!

My wife and I just opened up a fitness studio and needed pics for our website and other marketing. Working with Rob on this was amazing. So easy from start to finish. He took some phenomenal shots and captured our complete shot list. We could not be happier with how the final edited photos turned out. Plus the price was right for our budget. I would highly recommend Rob for any of your photography needs. We will be using him again in the future! Thanks Rob!

We've used Rob many times over the years for both product pictures and videos. We've been more than happy with everything he's produced. He always has great ideas, his turnaround times are quick, and his prices are more than fair. I would recommend Rob 100%.

I went to Rob for head shots and he was awesome! He made me feel super comfortable and the pics were amazing. I'm convinced he uses magic because I look so good in the pics. I uploaded one to my LinkedIn today and already have 10 new profile views.

When I first contacted Rob in regards to getting headshots done, I had no idea what to expect. From beginning to end, Rob was communicative, prepared, and professional. The final product is truly phenomenal and worth every penny. Thank you Rob!
