More about Russell R....

What do you love about your job?

Supporting small-businesses motivates me. Being a small-business owner myself, I understand how hard local business owners have to work. I want them to succeed. If my photo services can benefit them, even in a small way, then that helps the whole community. My tagline is, “Your Image. Our Focus.”, and I truly mean it.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

My workflow stays fairly consistent for each photoshoot, but each client is unique. I want to make sure we showcase their delicious foods and amazing products in a way that reflects their brand and vision. If a client needs help with that, I’m happy to provide art direction and suggestions. However, I always ensure they’re involved and approve of the photos during the photoshoot
