he premise of our business is to add value to our clients. We connect the dots to see relationships, ideas and concepts that appear to be disparate to most.
We do so using critical thinking coupled with the wonderment and curiosity of a child. We often find ourselves asking, what if… and that kicks-off the magic. Our final result are images that carry the spirit and authenticity of the people and organizations that we revere as clients. A first-generation Italian-American mindset prompts a disciplined, American work ethic along with Made in Italy craftsmanship. We stir this magic formula in three main areas::
Our Event Photography superpower is our uncanny ability to capture the scene at the height of emotion and action, that split second that Henri Cartier-Bresson refers to as The Decisive Moment. We’re patient, we know how, when and where to position ourselves. We anticipate the moment of action and emotion that delivers informative images with a sense of flair and aesthetics. Our images tell stories along a spectrum that ranges from intense personal moments to fun and thrilling excitement.
We excel at photographing both corporate events and non-profit galas. We masterfully capture prominent speakers, breakout sessions, fun excursions and receptions.
In corporate lifestyle work, real people in real situations bring forth the authenticity, feel and the spirit of an organization. Our superpower in corporate lifestyle photography is a solid understanding of brand strategy. Our process begins with knowing an organization’s brand values, its value proposition, positioning and brand messaging. From there, we apply our unique process that
consistently delivers on-brand photography. We’re happy to share more of our process with you in a consultation. Much like our event photography, we naturally employ our ability to capture The Decisive Moment, delivering images that are sincere, crisp, aesthetic, and on-brand.
We deliver consistent results in Headshots and Portraits by relieving a business professional’s anxiety created from being in front of the camera. Succinctly, our system involves overwhelming the brain with specific, subtle body and facial movements that enhance your camera presence. We heavily direct and engage you so intently such that all this activity overrides your brain’s original anxiety thinking. Anxiety disappears as it is replaced with your concentration and presence of how to hold your body on-camera. It’s a time-tested, foolproof system that delivers authenticity, confidence and approachability. We’re able to accomplish this because we have developed and execute a best practices approach to the business headshot. It’s part of our on-going practice in thought leadership.
