California Digital Photographer

I shot digital files with the 16 MegaPixel

Phase One P20 digital camera back. This digital camera back creates a huge 96 megabyte 48-bit RGB file, suitable for two-page magazine spreads, large posters or trade show signage. Some experts claim that it's files are superior in quality to a 4" x 5" transparency scan. For editorial style shoots, I also use a Canon digital SLR system.

Almost all of my clients request digital images, and even those requesting film usually also want some of the work done digitally. I bring a laptop to my shoots, and download the images for client approval on the spot. For shorter shoots, I sometimes burn CD ROMs and hand the CD to my client at the end of the shoot so they can take the images with them.

What this means to my clients is instant previews, the ability to make immediate changes to what we are shooting, and the ability to take high resolution, top quality images back to the office with them at the end of the day.

In addition to shooting digitally, I also am excellent at Photoshop retouching. I can make almost any required changes to your images, such as take out unwanted wires, cars or people, change a background color, or add flowers and grass to a front yard where there is only mud.

All of my full day shoots include one free hour of Photoshop color correction and retouching upon request.

Shooting Digitally for Hollywood

The image above was shot for a 40" x 28" Hollywood Movie Poster for the film "Love Wrecked." It was shot at a Los Angeles beach on a Thursday afternoon, the digital files were at the advertising agency by 8:00 pm, three separate images were combined to make the poster Thursday night, and the final image was emailed to the client for approval Friday, the next day. Only in a digital world! The posters were printed over the weekend, and displayed at the Cannes Film Festival in France the following week.

It was shot with a Phase One digital back, similar to the P20 creating a 48 megabyte file. The client for the poster was Media 8 Entertainment, the production company produced the Academy Award-winning film "Monster."
