We're proud of our photographs for a saddle bag full of reasons.
interpretation of an event. We all know that bad photographers can't make a good
photograph even when they have the best equipment. After all, a photograph is not a
perfect replica of an actual event and professional photographers know that. So we use
our experience, education and insight to present a visual interpretation of the event that
the viewer can appreciate. Of course, we still have to use cameras, lenses and filters
but it's our abilities that are most important when it comes to making a great
photograph, not the equipment. Of course, this whole process requires the very human
element of understanding our viewer's expectations.
We understand our viewers expectations pretty well. We talk with competitors, stock
providers, announcers, the audience, family and friends...all in an effort to get a better
understanding of what is expected. We don't just shoot and hope to get a few good
pictures. We also seek out peer review; comments and critiques...from other
professional photographers. We listen to what other professionals have to say about our
photographs, our methods and techniques. We seek out criticism. We do all of this as
part of our process to make outstanding photographs.
Amateurs take pictures. Professionals make photographs. There is a difference and we
know it!

| post-production processing, we can make the best photographs without the help of a computer program that is giving us a "best guess" as to how a photograph should look. However, you will find fully processed photographs, presented within faux matting and frames, displayed on our various web pages. These specially selected photographs will give you an idea how proper color correction, sharpening, contrast adjustment, cropping, matting and framing help "make" a photograph. After you select your pictures, we turn them into photographs. |
