Corporate photography process
Ed Carreon Photography takes a collaborative approach to every project, embodying the essence of professional photography with a specialized skill set that includes experience, expertise, and a keen understanding of lighting and composition. We start by understanding the client’s needs and goals and then develop a custom plan to meet those needs. His extensive experience with industrial photography projects allows him to solve problems before they happen, and create clean, beautiful, and coherent images that are difficult to execute in oily, dimly lit factory environments. This approach highlights the importance of hiring a professional photographer like Ed, especially for specific types of photography such as architectural and industrial photography, where his ability to use professional photography techniques ensures high-quality and eye-catching images.
Upon booking, we usually scout a location to plan for the production day. This removes unforeseen issues on the shoot day and allows us to design a photography workflow that incorporates professional photography standards. Additionally, we shoot to a laptop or iPad so our client feels comfortable with the images.
After the shoot, we edit, tone, color grade, and upload images to a gallery for viewing. Delivery is typically through Dropbox or WeTransfer unless otherwise requested.
