I’ll often be hired by publications and public relations firms who value my decades of work as a former full time news photographer. That experience brings an agility and adaptability that I an use to problem solve, pivot while on site and make subjects comfortable while squeezing the maximum potential from a subject’s time, a location’s potential, or the constraints of your budget.

I’m among the top Albany NY commercial photographers

Working as a commercial photographer for decades gives me the skills to handle your corporate communications, advertising, and public relations photography projects.

My career began as a news photojournalist, baptizing me in the world of fast moving situations with technical and social challenges which required me to come out the other side with graphically compelling images which were technically competent … which connected with viewers and communicated a story.

My decades of working as a commercial photographer have given me the skill to pre visualize and think through an assignment, giving you the images you need while knowing the maximum potential has been obtained from the time we have, the subjects that are available to us or the constraints of your budget.

What is a commercial photographer?

Essentially it is someone who creates photography for commerce; for enabling the end-user to use the photography to create revenue or develop business or markets.

And a good commercial photographer, as well as one who is experienced, is someone who will know how to assemble and fit into a team. Most often B2B and B2C projects for corporations and to a lesser degree, editorial projects, are team driven. Sometimes it is just myself with one or two people. Other times we are out shooting on an agricultural location with assistants, a video crew, agency representatives, client representatives, producers, talent, hair and makeup, art directors and potentially safety and security people. And a good commercial photographer knows how to work with and balance themselves “into” this huge team that is bringing your images to life. Without attitude, struggles or counterproductive resignation.

A case study of an image taken as an Albany Commercial Photographer

Take this image for example. It was shot in the milking parlor of a barn. A challenging, dark environment. Leveraging the scant existing light, I brought in some auxiliary light to add the sense of dimension and color you see, visually separating the field rep from her environment and making the location look good. And I did it fast.

This was a good example of a fast moving, on the fly, broad coverage type of assignment for a corporate client. On an assignment like this my responsibilities include getting the location selected and the message of the image nailed down while working with the busy subject who was inserting themselves into a working environment that we couldn’t disrupt for too long. Then moving on and doing it all over again … 17 more times that day. By myself.

People look at my portfolio and often step back saying “we don’t have anything that looks like that hereat our business” Well my answer is always “neither did they”. Let’s see what magic we can work at your location.

Need an Albany NY business photography specialist?

As an annual report photographer, clients have relied on me to handle a widely varying set of challenges in variable conditions out in the field, away from the comfort and safety of the studio. As a photojournalist, I worked under the same conditions.

So trust that you’ll be hiring someone seasoned by working in the field over many years. Someone with the experience and people skills who can make your shoot go smoothly and keep your subjects comfortable. Someone who won’t annoy the executives nor disrupt the workers. Someone who can keep going with a Power Bar and a positive attitude in the challenging environments or packed schedules, that change by the minute while we are working … you know the usual things we’ll likely encounter out there in the wild.
