Photo ART as decor!

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

So this past week, our Las Vegas office worked with a client to take live shots of their attendees and transpose them into pieces of Artwork on large screens throughout the space.  Andy Warhol was the theme of the evening so we transposed our professional images into digital artwork that changed the look of the room throughout the evening.  What a great way to use two separate items on the budget to create something effectively unique and crowd pleasing during the event.  Call us today to create a masterpiece together.

    Putting a NAME with the FACE

    Thursday, April 1st, 2010

    How much more connected do we feel after meeting someone that we have spoken with many times on the phone. Have you ever thought what the person on the other end of the phone looks like when you haven’t met?

    There are different ways of getting more connected even when you can’t meet face to face. Studies show a good photograph of yourself helps bond you with the people you touch remotely. It creates a feeling of familiarity and trust valued by clients and comrades alike. Relationship marketing is a key to long lasting professional friendships. Many professional photographers can easily come to your place of business and offer corporate headshots, to update old photos or to add on the new staff for publicity photos.  To help your relationship marketing make sure you have appropriate quality photos on your signature line, your website and your social media. Remember to keep them updated so people see the real you!!!

    Traveling Professional Photography

    Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

    Whether you’re a part of show management, an association or corporate meeting planner a photographer who knows and understands your needs and culture is so very important. This often calls for a photographer or photographic company that is able to travel with clients to their next meeting site. 

    It will certainly relieve the meeting planner knowing your CEO or President enjoy working with the person responsible for putting them in a good light. Having a photographer who can travel with you and knows your needs can relieve that stress that comes with “babysitting”.

     Building a rapport with your photographer can make that part of your job less stressful and more productive. And you might be surprised as some companies will accommodate travel costs to earn business they might not have otherwise received.
