Photography for Doctors Practice

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.

Editorial Photography

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

Gov James Cox Homestead in Middletown Ohio by Dan Cleary of Cleary Creative Photography

This is a panorama photograph of Gov James Cox' homestead outside Middletown, Ohio.

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.
