The real estate client requested this be shot with an empty parking lot and a focus on this particular entrance. Using Canon’s 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens was ideal for this photo shoot.

Titan Missile Rescue Training
What a fabulous location photography shoot!! Not only was being inside a missile silo incredibly interesting, but these rescue trainers do amazing work training a range of professionals in the most frightening environments. On top of it these guys experience life not only noble and heroic, but few of us get to observe. It was a privilege to spend the day with them.
Dangling from a rope doesn’t seem to faze these guys. They are more fascinated with the metals and alloys used in their safety gear and tripods! Our photographer, while standing on a side rail, did ask if someone might hang on to him by his belt as he shot aiming 100+ feet down! Much laughter and great time!

Commercial Property Photography, Tucson, AZ
This welcoming commercial property provided a number of scenic shots. We shot the interior rooms as well, but these show the gorgeous Arizona sun which proved the ideal lighting!

Medical Lab Equipment Photograhy
Mobile medical lab modules are fabricated to maximize space with sophisticated specialized testing equipment and necessary counter space. This session used existing light. Details were important and close ups in a tight space yet give the prospective buyer a more accurate image of the space. Wide angle lenses distort erroneously depicting interiors larger than actual feel.
Close ups show details:
Capturing the working surfaces, cabinetry and height capacity are marketing points:

Staff Portraits in Tucson
This lifestyle portrait session began with a rather grey room, but after a bit of dressing up, drive in a vehicle and add lighting-bingo; the stage was set. Props add to a portrait-mining maps, or in the case of our next geologist a smile and a pick hammer! These guys were a lot of fun. It’s always a pleasure to work with people who love their work.
We brought in 3 Arri Lights, 1-750 watt and 2-650 watt for stunning atmosphere.
Everything was shot on a tripod using a Canon 24-70mm mark 2 lens and Canon 5D Mark 3. The staff photos turned out wonderfully!
Product Photography on White with Multiple Angles
Some products are just gorgeous due to their exterior surface. This diamond pattern is lovely! The reflective nature is the tough part about photographing this product. Our client is launching a new product line with two sizes of this unit. They also wanted to show the quality of craftsmanship, details and a product styled use image.
Product styling always sounds simple: Grab some items and stack them inside. The last thing you want for your product is distraction from the unit. In this case we discussed colors of soda, lid options, choice of cans, what to put on the top rack, position of the labels and making sure everything was “balanced” to the eye–and keep these items from moving/rolling. Attention to detail pays off in a well laid out composition and the product “shines”. In this case–it always shines!
Reflective products (glass, metal, jewelry, high gloss acrylic products) offer challenges. Once the lighting is in place-then you begin to block out reflections you don’t want – inclusive of the photographer in the product. Controlling the light to not blow out the high reflection, yet show off that very shiny surface we all love. The diamond metal pattern here controlled some of the typical hot spots. We were also able to make use of massive overhead natural lighting and several white reflectors to obtain an even product surface look. Working all of the elements together takes a lot of time. We spend more time setting up a shot, than shooting, typically. Shooting multiple angles meant repositioning everything (continuous lighting, white reflectors, c-stands, every clothes pin and re-taping) with each change of angle, and the second unit.
When you’re selling online any product photography should include an all-the-parts shot, manuals included. Let prospective clients know what’s in the box. We’ve also been asked to edit the photos adding the dimensions for clients. Make it easy for people to buy your product!

Business Photographer in Tucson Arizona
Business photographers shoot a wide variety during an onsite session. This day shoot included executive portraits and headshots in the morning session. By afternoon we were taking group staff portraits, lifestyle shots for marketing and executives in their offices for more relaxed shots. For front lighting we bounced two Paul Buff Einstein studio flashes and shot with a Canon 24-70mm 2.8 lens. The existing backlight gave a soft polish.
Executive Portrait Photographer in Tucson, AZ
This executive portrait session involved a bit of time to choose the ideal setting for the bokeh. This turned out beautifully for a fresh inviting background for this financial institution. We shot staff portraits, group meeting shots, lots of casual lifestyle work station shots and executive lifestyle (AKA environmental) shots in their office setting. This full day shoot was accomplished with organization and time allowance for moving lighting equipment and set up time-it was a flawless shooting schedule with all the objectives achieved. Using a Westcott Rapid Box, Paul Buff Einstein and Canon 70-200 mm lens yielded stunning quality shots with the depth this lens is known for.
Commercial Composite Photography in Anaheim
Often getting your product into the ideal setting isn’t realistic. This tour bus company travels not only throughout Western states, but across the country. Scheduling photo ops presents a lot of obstacles. Opting for composite photo editing allowed time to photograph the bus to match the chosen stock images. Adding reflections to the windows and hubcaps keeps it real. We created several composites. We also create composite portraits.
This was the staging area.
Staff Lifestyle Portrait in Rancho Cucamonga
What a fun shoot! The fall sun in Rancho Cucamonga was low and bright. With our staff group’s back to the sun we used 3 flashes into a small umbrella and a 2 stop ND filter to knock down the sunlight brilliance.
You hear the terms “lifestyle” portrait and “environment” portrait when you’re looking for a staff photo with a setting in the workplace, but not using a backdrop. This pose brings energy and an inviting smile to reflect the company. Make your website photos original and fun!
