I have made images as a photographer for almost 35 years. A 10,000sq/ft studio in downtown St. Louis kept me very busy. My client list: Anheuser Busch, Elleard Heffern Jewelers, Dillards, Venture, Famous-Barr, Ford, Pontiac, John Deere, Hazel/ATAPCO, Wee Ones, Pizza Hut, & May Co. Jeez, there are so many more that I can't think of right now but you get the idea. My clients and peers consider me a Master of Lighting Techniques.
All items on the Products Page except for the Browning Rifles are captured digitally using the sun as a light source. Of course I know how to modify the quality of sunlight to suit my subjects.
The models on the Faces Page were photographed on film with strobes, except for my lovely wifes black and white available light portrait at the ocean.
A few years back my wonderful business partner purchased my interest in the studio. Thinking that I would not miss photography,
I gave full concentration on my archery business. It only took a few years for me to realize that I really miss the graphics world. While
I was away from the studio I enrolled in several college graphics classes with PhotoShop being the main area of concentration and have become highly skilled at digital photography and editing with PhotoShop CS.
Last year I built a 2 story house addition with the specific purpose of having another studio space. While 500 square feet doesn't sound very impressive a lot of work can be accomplished there. Most small and medium sized products can be easily handled in that space.
I now have studio lighting to suit your needs.
I have always been low key and informal. I will work hard and efficiently on your project. Hourly rates? Nope, I prefer to give you a fixed price on your project. Hourly rates don't really give you any accurate info if you don't know how fast a project can be finished. Of course, you are the customer and if you want a daily rate...you'll get one based on your particular project.
