Wall Mural

Posted on February 8, 2019February 8, 2019 by cleary

I am lucky enough to be asked to create art for businesses around the Dayton area. The people at Grandview Hospital wanted an artist photograph that included the cross and sign from the top of the hospital building. I found a location from across the Miami river that showed the cross and sign over the top of the trees. I spent two evenings creating photographs after sun set that let the cross stand out. They installed the mural a few months ago. I went over to the emergency waiting room at Grandview Hospital to see my mural photograph. There was a woman sitting in a chair and she moved because she didn't want to be in the picture. She liked the image and asked how long it took me to paint it. I said thank you but it's a photograph.

Photography For Doctors Office Web Site

Dayton Skin Care updates their web site with professional photography by Dan Cleary of Cleary Creative Photography.

I received a phone call several months ago from Dayton Skin Care, a dermatology practice, about needing updated photography to include on their web site. They will also use these photographs to help with social media and other forms of advertising. I spent an afternoon photographing at Dayton Skin Care's office in Kettering, Ohio. I photographed the waiting room and patient treatment rooms. I even photographed a surgical procedure. This is original visual content that a professional photographer can easily provide, but an amateur photographer would have trouble with. If you want your business or professional practice to look it's best then call Dan and he will provide the professional photography that you need.

Miami River and Downtown Dayton At Night

Posted on July 26, 2018July 26, 2018 by cleary

Grandview Hospital is located close to downtown Dayton. They recently updated their building sign and they put a large lighted cross on the roof. They hired Dan to create an artistic photograph of downtown Dayton that included the cross. Dan went on a scouting mission and found a location the was just south of the Miami river where the Grandview sign and cross were visible over the trees. This photograph was created about half and hour after sunset. Dan waited until the daylight was very low, almost black, so the cross would pop in the image. This is a 30 second exposure which also always the river to flow smoothly. In the sky in the upper left of the photograph you can see the planet Venus has moved slightly with the turning of the earth. The final image will be printed 42 inches wide and will be on display at the hospital.

Photography at Timothy's Bar in Dayton, Ohio

I received a phone call from Greenworks Lending about doing some editorial photography here in Dayton. Greenworks Lending is located in Darien, Connecticut and needed photography of one of their clients for a testimonial promotion. They helped Timothy’s Bar in Dayton with funding for a major upgrade. Timothy’s added a second story to their facility on Brown St. The second store addition enables Timothy’s to hold an additional 160 people at a time.I went there to photograph the owner, Marty. Greenworks had a short deadline but that wasn’t a problem. I photographed Marty on Monday and delivered the finished photographs on Tuesday.

Gov Cox Homestead Panorama Photograph

Posted on June 15, 2018June 15, 2018 by cleary

This is a panorama photograph of Gov James Cox' homestead outside Middletown, Ohio. I was originally asked to create a 24 feet by 3 foot panorama photograph for a historical display at the Cox Media headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. They have a Dayton room which has historical photographs and information about the origins of the company which started in Dayton, Ohio. My photograph of the farm is at the top of the display. This photograph is reworked and will be on display at a Kettering Physicians Health building in Middletown. It is 8 feet wide by 2 feet tall. The original photograph is made up of 30 separate photograph which are stitched together. I have created over 150 original fine art photographs for Kettering Physicians Health network buildings.
