Davis Photographic

Dennis Davis is a commercial photographer serving Southern California with digital images that sell products and services. He specializes in people, product, architectural, food and advertising photography.

"I understand that what I am doing is commercial art," says Davis. "If my image doesn't make the viewer want to buy my client's product or service, then I haven't done my job."

"Light is the most important thing about a photograph," says Davis. "Anybody can point a camera, but the art and science of understanding and controlling light separates the weekend shooters from the pros. Photography is painting with light. I try to use and manipulate light to make my images look three dimensional - you can almost feel the textures on the page. I love creating images with bold, saturated colors, and close-up, in-your-face style that stop the viewer from flipping pages and say 'wow, that's cool'."

"You will get excellent service," promises Davis. "Your images will be delivered on time, on budget, as promised. I guarantee there will be plenty of images that are good quality - accurate exposures and properly focused - or I will reshoot for free."

Commercial Photographer Creates Value

Dennis Davis can help you communicate the best features of your product or service better and faster than one hundred paragraphs. There will always be another photographer with a lower price, but if my images make your product or service sell and the other photographer’s images don’t, which is a better value? I am an artist, painting with light, capturing the beauty in what I see with my unique vision. However, I never forget that if my art doesn’t make money for my clients, I have failed.

There will always be photographers with a lower price then Mr. Davis, but do they provide a good value? This is what John Ruskin, back in the nineteenth century said about cost versus worth:

“It’s unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money – that is all.

When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot -- it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better.

There are five things that make me unique among commercial photographers:

• Service
• Megapixels
• Vision
• Experience
• Guarantee

Service: You can expect a written estimate within 24 hours of your call, regular communication, all of your questions answered, and exacting organization of the shoot.
MegaPixels: I shoot with a 16 MegaPixel medium format camera system that creates up to a 96 megabyte file in beautiful 16-bit color. None of the Nikons, Canons, Fuji’s or other 35 mm type digital cameras even approach the quality of this $25,000 system. Less than 2% of commercial photographers in the US work with digital cameras this good; the average Nikon creates a file ¼ this size, with only half the number of colors.
Vision: Although I always get the shot my client requests, I also ensure that I capture the image that my imagination dictates, that I see in my mind’s eye. Look through the work on this site, and see if you like my vision.
Experience: In addition to over 15 years experience as a photographer, I have also worked as a graphic designer, Photoshop instructor, marketing director, V.P. of an advertising agency and webmaster. I speak your language, and understand the shoot from your point of view.
Guarantee: If my shots are not correctly exposed, sharp where they should be, and of publishing quality, I will reshoot for free. My work is on-time, on-budget, as promised.
