Annual Report and Website Photography -Ottawa

Shooting technology and medicine…a couple of my favorite things. This shoot reminded me of my days shooting hi tech for Nortel, Mitel and JDS. We do quite a bit of annual report work, not only in Ottawa but across Canada. It`s challenging stuff photographically, not only from the
technical side but the conceptual side. I love it when I get to solve problems and communicate ideas for my clients.

Post Production

With the advent of digital photography, clients often ask why there are fees associated with post production. What most people do not realize is that digital cameras, no matter how professional, have inherent weaknesses in sharpness, dynamic range (the ability to capture highlights and shadows in the same scene) and even the correct rendering of color.
The scene above was shot correctly! The screen is exposed properly, but to get the people to an exposure that the eye
captures ( the human eye has an amazing range) one of our trained techs needs to go onto a hi end computer with a color calibrated monitor and do some Photoshop magic.

We employ some of the best Photoshop artists in the city, but occasionally clients want a price to have us let them do the post work… We always say, there is a price for everything in this world and gladly pass this work off to clients.
I am betting most would have a hard time matching what we do..but lets have a little fun. Download the file on the left and go nuts. If you can match or better the one on the right, e it to me and I will post them side by side.

Then I will run a poll and see who gets more votes…Win… and I will donate $500 to the charity of your choice…go ahead, make my day.

Fun with Photoshop.

 

 

It`s the time of the year when we get to go through last years weddings and post some of our faves. Here is one
we worked on today. Thanks to all my FB friends who critiqued some variations and helped me figure out what to do with this shot.

Ottawa Product Photography.

   We shoot products like this every week.  It is actually one of the most satisfying jobs for us, not because we will win any awards or make a ton of money, but because we like small business people…they really are the salt of the earth!

These are just lunchbags from a little Ottawa company… http://www.greencapp.com/   We like to help out small entrepreneurs because selling in todays world involves competing on the world stage…and for that, you need great shots that show your product.

Good luck Greencap…and those bungee lunchbags are kinda cool.
