Welcome To The Photography Headquarters Within Florida Publishers Travel & Entertainment Guides.

Well equipped to get the perfect shot you are looking for to showcase your own Florida Hospitality or Entertainment attraction or facility! We go the extra mile to feature you at your best and this section of our site shows you just a small insight into the multitude of photography services that we provide.

We hear all the time, That's really great and I love it or it has helped out our company so much but how do you do it? Of course the normal answer is we frequently travel the State of Florida and all of our Photo Team Pros are most experienced in their work. They also share a commitment to excellence in capturing the wondrous beauty of our State and even some of the beautiful border States to the North of our great Sunshine State. Not only do we work in Florida. We also spend a great deal of time in both Georgia and Alabama as well. We even find ourselves in Louisiana, Tennessee and even the Carolinas on various promotional work as our assignments require it. We have a strong foundation and understanding of the Tourism, Entertainment & Hospitality Industries and we are often called to other neighboring States for assistance with various entertainment and tourism projects in their States too.

Of course we are all over the streets and beaches within Florida. We are the home to so many beautiful places. We could literally just shoot pictures all day and all night of the many wonders waiting for you within our State. Many we already have on file in our extensive photo archives.

Within this section we are going to show you a little coverage of how we produced an Award Winning Sun Glasses Advertisement on a fairly modest budget on short notice. For the photo buffs or those pursuing a career in modeling. You will probably really enjoy this section of our site. This is a simple expose' tutorial into a live beach modeling photo shoot we produced for a sunglasses advertisement which you have probably seen. We received the call and the real problem was the assignment called for a photo shoot in a major Florida City that had no beach. The assignment called for a model to be photographed on a beach wearing designer sunglasses and throwing or catching a football and a Frisbee for the proofs. The Football picture shown was ultimately selected and the rest is history. You have seen the advertisement in many magazines and of course our own travel publications. Now we are going to show you how we did it within this little photography primer within our site.

Here is the ad as you have seen it with the model photographed on a World Class Florida Beach or so it appeared. 

Again this had to be done on a studio location without a real beach so we had to bring the beach to her. Now we will show you how we did it. We created a studio beach setting with a very believable and quite realistic beach backdrop. Taking a picture in front of a picture can easily come off quite cheesy. Of course our reputation for excellence was on the line so how did we do it ? First of all the backdrop photograph was produced with a medium format film & digital camera offering the highest picture detail we could produce with equipment available at the time of the assignment. Remember this picture had to be able to printed out large in sharp detail without graininess or a hint that we shot with a backdrop. We shot this digitally since the camera is both cross platform film or digital and printed it out in two sections on a wide format commercial sign printer used for large signage and various large print promotional poster, wall mural or one sheet poster needs as called for by the movie industry.

Now we simply deliver the set to the location with our model and their modeling support crew waiting for us and set up our stage and we are ready for the live beach photo shoot done indoors.

Of course to make the shoot believable we had to create beach atmosphere and mood setting to complete this photo stage. How did we achieve this? The timeless and easy solutions of bringing in a little genuine beach sand to pour at the foot of the backdrop for her to stand in and a whole lot of wind by a high air movement fan to replicate the effect of a real ocean breeze in here hair. Not new technologies by any means of measure but never the less very effective and just what this photo set called for to give it a realistic feeling for the modeling session for this advertisement.

It was a hot summer day when we produced this and our very pretty most courteous and accommodating model did not want to come out of the fan air when the shoot was completed she was enjoying it all so much. She was exceptionally flexible and personally quite nice to work with which was a definite plus in getting the assignment done quickly in a prompt and professional manner. Aspiring models might want to take note of this fact that working with your photography or production staff to keep things moving will definitely get you more work and will help your name stay on the minds of those looking to hire models for professional modeling assignments. We try to treat everyone with the highest level of respect and of course we appreciate the same from those in which we serve. It doesn't always work out that way though unfortunately.

We were able to easily bring the whole set within a mini van. The setup and teardown of the staged beach photography set were a breeze. (No Pun Intended There.) Cleaning up the beach sand was a little messy but no real problems were encountered here. Just another example of the flexibility that we continually strive to offer our clients to get the job done right on time and within budget. We may bring you other tips and looks at other live photography shooting sessions if this section turns out to be a popular section of our site.

We hope you have enjoyed this first of several installments to come on overcoming the adversities of on location photography shooting challenges we see on a daily basis. If we can help your own Florida Tourism oriented business.
