The Impact of Professional Photography on a Business

No matter whether the business is large or small, it needs to be seen as credible and reliable, not to mention beneficial. And there is no better way to do so than to add a corporate photography element to your marketing strategy.

Business photography and corporate photography done by professionals have a very positive impact on the clients of the business. If a potential client visits the website of the business, it will give a better impression, if the photos on the website are of excellent quality and up to the highest ideals of professional photography.

A Highly Professional Image

A business needs an image that is crisp and professional, and not one that appears to be put together haphazardly. An internet based presence, such as a website, is all about the first impression conveyed via the first image. In accordance with that, it is always better to hire a professional business and corporate photographer for marketing and better online presence.

Original Photos Appeal More than Stock Images

The practice of adding stock images to a website usually leads to the online presence of the business getting lost in the crowd of search engine results.

Original images present a more personal and honest touch, while at the same time setting the business apart from the competitors. The owners of the business can also use the original photos to further promote the business on social media, or as part of a larger marketing and search engine optimization strategy.

A Customized Image

Perhaps the biggest advantage of hiring a business photography company is the customized images that they can present the business with.

While stock images can be used, they will be quite generic and run-of-the-mill, to say the least. If a business wants to show the potential client what it is about, and how it can be of benefit to the customer, it has to present all of its good aspects in a glance, which can be done through the personalized and customized touch of business photography.

Dan Cleary is just such a photographer, who has already helped numerous small businesses gain an original online presence and image. One example of this can be found in his brilliant work with Dr. John Talmadge of Bigger Road Veterinary Center.

He conducted a thorough survey of the facility, taking into account all that needed to be displayed, such as the day care area, the grooming stations, and even the surgical tables.

Your child’s portrait collection will be delivered in a beautiful 10” by 20” portrait panel after the 12 month session.

Photography at Kenwood Retirement facility

For the past months I have been creating photographs at the Kenwood Retirement facility on Cincinnati, Ohio.

Exterior photograph of  Kenwood Retiement building by Dan Cleary of Cleary Creative Photography in Dayton Ohio

This project required me to take exterior, interior and people photographs. I really love working with people but there are times when I like working out the lighting on interior photographs. It takes skill and experience to be able to balance all the lights, the windows and rooms to create images that the client can use for all their needs.

My client used these photographs for printed pieces, billboards and even in videos that aired in TV commercials. I was very lucky that the day we did the exterior photographs there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, just blue skies. The retirement facility has a memory floor and they have found that a dog is a great help to the people who have started to loose their memory. The photograph of the nurse with the dog was a candid photography but it was one of the best out of all the images I created.

But a retirement facility is all about how they can help the elderly people on a daily basis, so many of the photographs included people. People in the pool exercising, people eating in one of the many dining areas or using the exercise room. Kenwood retirement facility even has juke boxes so the residents can have a little fun.

Newborn Photography

I received the most beautiful Mother's Day statement from a client yesterday. Thank you.
"Dominic's due date was 3/9/10, instead he arrived when I was 25 weeks pregnant a whole 16 weeks premature on 11/27/09 weighing in at a whopping 790 grams and 14". Unfortunately His twin brother Christian didn't survive our traumatic birth. I gave up total control to his doctors to do whatever necessary interventions to sustain life and prayed to GOD for the strength we would both survive the journey ahead. I didn't care what condition he would be in when he was given back to me, so long as one day, I could bring my son home.
After spending 5 1/2 months in the Dayton Children's Neonatal ICU, almost 6months old in this photo and barely 4lbs. He was given to me. Allowed to "fly solo".
Preemie clothes still baggy so we photographed him naked in a NB sized diapers. He is one of the few that have come through such a rough start with a lot of bumps, bruises, near death experiences, and flat lined resuscitation and plenty of Battle Scars from brain surgery from 2 strokes at birth but relatively, cognitively "unscathed". A true medical incredible miracle story that were told in articles in their medical journals of treatments they tried, protocols they made up along the way that worked to save the micro-preemies that came into this world after him.
I share these photos of us taken a few weeks after finally brought him home, on this Mother's Day because it was when I finally was able to feel like a "Mother" I didn't have to ask permission to touch or to hold or feed him, instincts took over and he was all mine. Dan Cleary captured my joy in these photos that are true artwork displayed proudly in my home and hangs on the walls & offices of each member of his incredible medical team at Children's hospital that there that against all odds and statistics, for extreme immaturity."
Happy Mother's Day.

Outdoor Family Portrait Photography With The Family Dogs

Here is the last outdoor family portrait I have scheduled for this year. I did the photography for this family close to downtown Dayton along the Great Miami river. They brought their two energetic dogs who really loved the river bank. It’s a little late in the year and the leaves were gone but it’s still a beautiful setting. I had to use all my experience to get the dogs attention. Maybe someone will call for a family portrait in the snow this winter. Here at Cleary Creative Photography we always work with clients to come up exactly the photograph they desire. Dan has been creative family portraits in the Miami Valley area for over 28 years.

Great Baby Photography in Dayton Ohio

Nine Month Baby portrait holding stuffed animal by Dan Cleary of Cleary Creative Photography in Dayton Ohio

Baby photography is one of the most fun things we do around here at Cleary Creative Photography. Photographing children is something that we have done for many years and the children seem to respond well. We give each family an hour photography session and that is especially important with children and babies. Sometimes the children are great in the beginning of the session and sometimes they need a few minutes to get warmed up to a new environment.

Nine Month Baby portrait sitting in chair by Dan Cleary of Cleary Creative Photography in Dayton Ohio

When you go to a franchise photography studio it’s all about the numbers. Each person gets 10 minutes and if your child is happy in those 10 minutes then good luck. If your child doesn’t respond in those 10 minute then your out of luck. We have a great track record with the babies we photograph. This is the third baby we have photographed for this family. We have a first year baby program where we photograph the children at one month. Three months when they are holding their heads up. Six months when they are sitting up. Nine months when they are standing up and one year old. We put these photographs into one of our custom art baby panels, ready to hang on your wall.
