Recently this group invited me to document their rally around their submission of petitions calling for background checks on all gun sales. There were passionate speeches on this important topic and many boxes of petitions were submitted.

I have a confession to make.
I love your images. Possibly too much.
Even though I’m known for professionally lit, clean, poppy, magazine style images with no Photoshop Sauce™ I still spend a lot of time making them perfect. Probably too much time. Which means sometimes my clients don’t get their images as fast as they’d like. Here’s how much I love your images.
I deliver your photos to you only after each one has been carefully, lovingly hand-tweaked by the photographer or by a skilled digital artist to look their very best. Like a mom who won’t let the little ones leave the house with shirt un-tucked and a dirty face, I do not release my (your) photos until I’ve given them LIGHT EDITING in Adobe Lightroom. Each photo is hand adjusted in some or all of the following settings before I gently hand my babies over to you:
Sometimes, I even take your images into Photoshop for DEEP EDITING, like removing lighting structures and distractions.
Another confession: I don’t always make perfect images right in camera. Usually I get very close. Sometimes complexions etc require intervention. Sometimes I intentionally shoot with stuff in the frame that I plan to remove later. And sometimes, I kind of blow it and a great image is over- or under-exposed, hidden in my mediocrity and needs to be resurrected in post. But that’s seriously uncommon.
In the examples below I show editing differences that are quite small (the ones I pretty much nailed in-camera), all the way to ones intentionally cluttered or even oddly exposed with the vision of the end-photo in mind. I’m even including images from some of the outstanding Associate Photographers who shoot for STEVEN JOSEPH PHOTOGRAPHY, who also shoot deliberately and with intention, and give each of your babies the TLC they deserve (Toning, Lightroom, and Cropping). 🙂

Are you bringing a lot of your people to your Las Vegas Convention, for training, or celebration, or recognition? What a perfect time to get high-quality headshots for all of your key people, while you’ve got them all in the same place. Or what a great way to reward your contractors or members who are out in the trenches with the opportunity to get a top-notch headshot for their website, their Linked-In profile, or other social media avatars like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
We come to your location, to the hotel where your conference is being held, where we set up studio lighting in a surprisingly small space – we need about 8 feet wide by about 10 feet deep.
You decide on your preferred style of headshot: high-key, low-key, or environmental.
We can set up as many bays as necessary to comfortably accommodate as many people as you want. Figure on about 75 – 100 people‘s headshots created per photo bay in a non-stop, all-day scheduled approach. Fewer per bay in a less structured format (e.g., people popping in at their convenience).
We produce between 5 and 15 photos per person in about 3.5 minutes, assuring we’ve gotten your guests’ best side, best look, best expression.
We can even live-stream the photos as they are being made to tablets and iPads where people can select their favorite right after it is created, streamlining the post-processing edit. All photos are lightly edited before upload. Advanced professional re-touching is an available add-on.
Want to get really good headshots for 400 people over the course of your Las Vegas Convention? We can do that.

Payment can be structured many different ways.
You can pre-pay for a certain number of your clients / employees to get their professional headshot with us. They just need to show up and we’ll take care of the rest.
Or you can pre-pay and ask your guests to pay a small fee to download from your online gallery like this.
You can pre-pay for professional re-touching for everyone, or make that an option for your guests to select from the online gallery.
High quality. High speed. At your event. What’s not to love!?

Do you know about this wonderful Las Vegas charity – Monday’s Dark? We loved doing Las Vegas Event Photography for their First Anniversary show, including coverage of their amazing stage performances, and production of their on-location step and repeat. With so many performers, I’ve never shot a step and repeat with so many camera-ready camera-friendly people.
To learn more about Monday’s Dark, what they do and how you can help them raise money for worthy charities each month, check here.

Two brilliant and successful brothers, Wayne Huang and Matt Huang, are visiting Vegas for the Black Hat / Def Con security conference. They wanted magazine-quality photography documenting their day walking around Valley of Fire and the Vegas desert.
We love doing that!!!
All that’s missing from these portraits is an album cover or book to put ’em on. LOL These guys are such high-octane performers that I won’t be surprised to see them produce one or both.
While walking around we discussed everything under the sun, including when Artificial Intelligence takes over, the Taiwan – China conflict, cyber hacking by national militaries, why so many guns in America, the early history of the publicly-available Internet and the emergence & evolution of Messaging Service Providers (MSPs) then Application Service Providers (ASPs) to what is now called “the Cloud”, how Sun Yat-sen is like China’s Martin Luther King or Ghandi, why it’s smart for a Chinese man to take very good care of his wife’s parents, how self-driving automobiles are going to transform cities (no parking garages, no parking spaces, most won’t need to own a car, ability to work while being driven increasing productivity, etc).
It was a long, hot, deeply interesting and engaging day with two great guys.
Big THANK YOUS to Shabazz and to my son Mason for outstanding assisting.
We'd love to hear from you!
Please give us a call or drop us an email and we'll get right back to you.
