Since 1987.
What is your primary product or service?
Corporate and professional photography services.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I used to manage an advertising agency and thought the corporate imaging for most businesses needed improvement and modernizing.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I work with clients to achieve an upscale look. It's about a lot more than just "taking pictures". Unlike most photographers, I have a strong background in advertising, public relations, and marketing. I put this strength into the service of my clients. I help clients achieve a tasteful presentation and help administrators manage the shoots painlessly.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
I have one location in Chicago, but I shoot on location throughout the city and suburbs and in cities across the country.
