Los Angeles Advertising Photographer

There are five things that make me unique among commercial photographers:

Service: You can expect a written estimate within 24 hours of your call, regular communication, all of your questions answered, and exacting organization of the shoot.
MegaPixels: I shoot with a 16 MegaPixel medium format camera system that creates up to a 96 megabyte file in beautiful 16-bit color. None of the Nikons, Canons, Fuji’s or other 35 mm type digital cameras even approach the quality of this $25,000 system. Less than 2% of commercial photographers in the US work with digital cameras this good; the average Nikon creates a file ¼ this size, with only half the number of colors.
Vision: Although I always get the shot my client requests, I also ensure that I capture the image that my imagination dictates, that I see in my mind’s eye. Look through the work on this site, and see if you like my vision.
Experience: In addition to over 15 years experience as a photographer, I have also worked as a graphic designer, Photoshop instructor, marketing director, V.P. of an advertising agency and webmaster. I speak your language, and understand the shoot from your point of view.
Guarantee: If my shots are not correctly exposed, sharp where they should be, and of publishing quality, I will reshoot for free. My work is on-time, on-budget, as promised.

Shooting Style

Davis Photographic specializes in commercial photography for advertising, marketing and editorial purposes. Based in Los Angeles, my day rate includes travel to Long Beach, Orange County, San Diego, Palm Springs and Riverside.

I love rich, saturated colors, and my style includes lots of close-up, in your face images that explode with color. I also enjoy motion blur, and find it challenging to capture this elusive look of movement. I believe that photography is "painting with light" and creating a feeling of light and shadow gives a 3-D look to many of my images.

Although photography is my product, excellent service is my specialty. I deliver as promised, on time and on budget. My work is guaranteed. If you do not get correct publication quality exposures, I reshoot for free.
