About David Robertson owner

About Me:  After creating banners and photographing games for various local sports teams, I decided to also use my photography and PhotoShopping skills for senior photos.  As a veteran high school teacher, I love getting to work with these students who are enjoying their final year of high school.  It is my goal to get you photos that you want on your wall and the seniors want on their Instagram feed.  At the same time, I still love helping young people look their best in their favorite sport and preserving memories of their teams that they work so hard for.

About our company:  Our goal is for your pictures to highlight your greatest passions and to look amazing!  Our specialty is using our PhotoShop & LightRoom expertise to create art and photographs that blow away anything that could be done with a cell phone.  We also help you have FUN with your photo shoot, even if being in front of a camera isn’t usually your thing.  

Seniors and sports are our two areas of focus.  We use green screen technology to insert people into amazing backgrounds, transport them to incredible places, or help them do impossible things. We even design customized backgrounds.  We design team banners, as well as offer individual sports packages and senior portraits.  

Whatever we create for you, we want it to blow away what everyone else has!

Equipment

Cameras   The Lamborghini of cameras, Nikon Z8, can take up to 120 photos per second!  This makes it awesome for sports.  Its many other abilities, particularly with focus, make it equally awesome for portraits.  We also use a Nikon D7500 camera when photographing in more dangerous situations (like wading through a river) or when we want to quickly switch between different lenses.

Lenses   Our favorite portrait lens is an 70-200mm f/2.8 Nikon lens whose high aperture and sharp focus draw your attention immediately to the subject and creates beautiful bokeh in the background. We also have wide-angle lenses to capture the surroundings and get unique shots. 

Lighting    Flash is an important element in quality photography.  We use up to three 200-watt flashes.  We have a 36-inch beauty dish for all of our portrait shoots.  This brings flattering light without harsh shadows.  We also have two strip boxes that make athletic portraits really pop and also add some extra light to standard portraits.  A reflector is also sometimes used to block harsh sunlight or to bounce more light onto one side of a subject.  We also like to sometimes use LED lights and color gels to add depth and vibrance to photos.  

Software    We have an assortment of the top-of-the-line, professional editing tools! Our Photoshop & LightRoom expertise sets us apart from the competition. PhotoShop is our most-used software, which allows us to remove backgrounds, whiten teeth, brighten eyes, clear skin, design composite photographs, and more! We use LightRoom and CameraRaw to adjust colors, exposure, brightness, and more. We also use Topaz Gigapixel, Denoise, and Sharpen to help some photos look even crisper and sharper, particularly when taken in low light, or when we need a huge enlargement.  We also have a variety of plug-ins that help us make skin look amazing.
