What's the difference? 

Its simple, most photographers only do photography.  Myself, includes video, commercial, marketing, social, and SEO.  What is SEO? Check it out.

Many say they know these topics but do not have 25 years in NYC to back it up.  

What is Commercial Photography? Photos are taken for commercial use, and a magazine cover and center spread is a great example and definition of a type of commercial photography. 

Many times large opportunities come up for your business, art, or life that will be on display at large scale.  It could be for an advertisement, announcement, or article, and the "money shot" is needed.  When we need this type of commercial photography attention to every single detail is most important and every step is taken to ensure a successful photoshoot. 

Commercial Photography Process

An initial interview will be conducted to ensure that all needs are met for your photo.  From location and wardrobe to placement and use we cover everything we can to prepare for the day.

On the actual day of the shoot, an onsite laptop will be used to dial in the photo to exact needs and tweak as needed, in addition to seeing how the photo will look in its final layout.

Photography

What word, what is it? Its a general word? No, its your definition of it? Wait, thats not what I think it is...

Photography to me is my own definition as I'm sure that everyone except me has my definition of photography, and that in it self is where we all start. 

At this point in 2020 pretty sure that each person in America has more photo-taking devices then themselves? Thats the truth one way or another. 

In days where I'm in mile 7 of an 8 mile Sunday run I think to myself, I mean seriously talk about a competitive market everyone in this country has a device with a filter created by someone who knows what the Fu%k they are doing?
