Cleveland Photographer Blog

Just finished with a new video of my product photography for all to view.  Check it out.

Just finished with some new on location shots of lighting products in the greater Cleveland Ohio area.  Testing of products and products in use.  Pretty cool.

I just finished working up a few stills and doing my first video on some product shots I did in Madison.  Gas Meters.

Some very old - many very interesting.  Here is the link for the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yM1MPbr6xU

I don’t remember how many I shot but there were quite a few.

These images were going to be used in a brochure and trade show exhibits.

We’ll recently found out that Stata Productions was selected from as many as 24 photographers to be called upon to be one of three finalists to shoot a chosen product .  The selected photographer will be awarded the opportunity to be the “dedicated” photographer for this Eastlake coin bank manufacturer.   With the help of Jeff Slater’s graphic design company: http://www.fridgeartcreative.com Jeff was able to take several  layers of my  photography  and combine them into a finished piece.  We are currently waiting to hear the results of this shoot off. Here are a few samples.

Here is the finished piece we sent into for approval….

Just pulled up some images we shot this fall - yes when it was green and much warmer…. best time to shoot outdoor photography.  We’ve been shooting for several years for this advertising -  website company that produces all kinds of straps for the outdoor market.   Which of course if anyone knows me - outdoor products in the field are right up my alley. 

Rain, snow, in this case mud bring it on - we have the gear to shoot all products in all conditions.

I just came up with all the images to show some of our toy product design and photography.  With the help of fellow artist

http://www.davepotokar.com/ Dave Potokar we came up with some great designs for a local outdoor toy company’s line of kids toys.  From sketch, to design, layout, photography http://www.stataproductions.com helped our client to get to the retail store shelves.

Just finished shooting several different posters for a local company in Cleveland Ohio that does custom skull implants for patients.  Check out the work the artist worked up for these posters.

We’ve been shooting sporting goods products in the studio and in the field - sometimes very cold - lay on the ground to get the angle freezing cold.  Of course if anyone knows me - waterfowl products shots are right up my alley…. or swamp

.

Whether we’re shooting decoys or attire or soft goods - it always gets interesting shooting over water.

It’s also nice to have the lighting control and temperature control to shoot in the studio - especially in the middle of winter.

We had a lot of fun and got some great shots of some exciting people at a recent United Way campaign shoot.  We set up a studio on location and just kept the people coming thru.

We photographed all ages and everyone brought their A game.

Just finishing up some interesting and nicely lite manufactured tool photography. We’ve been shooting in the studio for awhile. Mostly documentation product photography for the catalogue. Then we got a chance to shoot at the plant just outside of Cleveland.
We then shot quite a few close ups of product applications. Which will be cleaned up and adjusted to bring out the motion of the product with Photoshop.



I then finished shooting some beauty shots in the studio which turned out to be a big hit.
