New Website and Let's Discuss Content!

After much work and gnashing of teeth I have updated my website
My awesome website

I invite you to check it out and let me know what you think.

Content Creation

Life style photography for client Green Girl World.

For some reason that phrase has always piqued my interest. Now so more then ever. At this moment in time content is king. Posting once a day on Instagram and facebook is barely enough to stay alive. We all know that. We all would like it to be effortless. And speaking for myself I can say I get great satisfaction in seeing those likes and follows add up. So let's make it happen!

I think we all know what we want our brand to look like. We can point to image and say "I identify with that". Or "that color is me". Certainly pointing at it and making it happen are two different things. That is where Craig Blank Photography comes in. You can rely on my creativity and technical skill to turn your ideas and feelings into engaging photos.

Quite simple really. We start with a meeting and together discuss what you would like to convey and what you would not like to convey. At this point we are gathering general information. Next topic is the shoot itself. Make a list of what needs to get shot and how. Go over any technical challenges. Next thing you know shoot day is here. Proud to say that this is everyones favorite part. Mixed in with the fun is productivity and a clear understanding of the final images. At this point any and all questions are answered. I make the selection process easy with your own web link and download page.  Prompt delivery of images is always the case. And we can even set up an automatic post system so that you are looking at results as opposed to posting everyday.

That is the process in a nutshell. Each client and job has it's own style and nuances, so I invite you to contact me and we can create some content! Contact me via my web page.

Craig Blank Photography in 2018.

lot has happened in the 8 years since my last Blogger post.

Let me count the ways. New studio, new clients and all the great things that happen as we move through life.

                            Click on the promo vid for good luck.

Mostly the photography landscape has changed. Reflecting  social and economic changes. As a whole we are in an uncomfortable period in history. Uncomfortable in the sense that there are a lot of trends that are new and certainly uncharted. Social media is commanding more and more of our attention. This has opened doors of engagement that connect us virtually making nothing out of the question. We can create change. We interact. We engage with  close friends, friends from high school and like minded individuals from around the globe. Interestingly we engage through photography in ways that we could never imagine 8 years ago. The photo and video is now our preferred choice of communication. Of course this puts photographers or should I say image professionals in a unique position. This new position has yet to develop rules and guidelines that were so necessary in the days of film only. Today I mostly throw out rules that I once knew. I am convinced that a new path must be forged. 

                            Reflecting on the landscape.

The path is clearer these days. Transparency and communication should and need to be a top priority. I provide all of my clients with a full breakdown of fees and a timeline of the project from concept to delivery of completed files. Additionally the client and I walk down the same path. Each shoot is a collaboration. Sometimes that looks like the working together from beginning to end. Sometimes that looks like no direction at all from the client. In any case engaging digital assets are provided. Giving clients the tools that they need to take advantage of the new media landscape.
