Alpha Image

I like to have an initial professional meeting where I listen very carefully to my clients needs and expectations. 

When we are in agreement about the photography or videography required we schedule the shoot. 

After the assignment is accomplished I start post-production, editing my Raw files in PhotoShop to perfection and deliver both high resolution TIFF and JPEG files to my client.

Started shooting professional photography in the U.S Air Force is 1961. Worked in New York City as a professional photographer, first at Harcourt, Brace & World (now Hougtonn Mifflin Harcout) where I shot portraits of authors and created many photographs for text book illustration. 

Took an assignment as chief photographer on the USNS Robert D. Conrad, an oceanographic research ship out of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia Universtity working in Wetern Pacific and the Sea of Japan.

Retrurned to NY to work for Robert Crandal Associates as head photographer in a six bay studio doing commercial advertising photography and photojournalism.

Moved to California in 1970 to go to college. Received a degree in filmaking cum laude. Worked in high tech industry as independent photographer and filmmaker/videographer.

Moved to Idaho in 1995. Worked as photographer and photo editor for Business IQ magazine and did a lot of work for other local magazines. Founded Alpha Image.

My regular fee for architectural photography for professional architects is 900.00 a day. 

My fee for any other assignment for other clients is quite flexible and depends on the nature of the shoot.
