About

I'm A seasoned Dallas photographer and video producer with a fully equipped studio in Addison, delivering polished, business-ready images and 4K video for professionals and brands. Over 35 years behind the camera means sessions run smoothly, look flattering, and feel relaxed—even if you “hate” being photographed.

## About your photographer

- Over three decades of experience photographing executives, teams, and events across a wide range of industries.

- Recently completed approximately 150 coordinated corporate headshots for a single client, keeping consistency across lighting, posing, and expression for every subject.

- Background as a business owner who has managed more than $1,000,000,000 in sales, so messaging, brand image, and ROI matter as much as the visuals.

## Studio and location

- Convenient Addison-area studio serving the greater Dallas–Fort Worth business community, just minutes from major highways and corporate campuses.

- Approximately 1,000 ft² of production space including a live studio, control room, podcast room, professional lighting grid, and 20-channel audio monitoring system for more complex productions.

- Private changing area and comfortable environment ideal for headshots, branding portraits, small teams, and on-camera interviews with multiple wardrobe changes.

## Photography specialties

- Corporate headshots and executive portraits tailored for LinkedIn, websites, speaking engagements, and marketing campaigns, with guidance on posing, expression, and wardrobe.[1]

- Small business and personal branding sessions that combine classic, clean looks with more dynamic, lifestyle-style shots in a single session.

- Event coverage that pairs stills and video, capturing both key moments on stage and candid interactions in the room for internal communications and promotional use.

Video production capabilities

- Multi-camera 4K production with live switching, ideal for conferences, trainings, awards shows, and “walk the red carpet” recognition experiences that generate both livestreams and polished edits.

- Professional Nikon cameras with up to 45.7 megapixels per image, a broad range of lenses, LED lighting, Strobes, Reflectors, Diffusers, DaVinci Resolve editing, Photoshop 2026 retouching, and Logic Pro audio sweetening to deliver cinematic results ready for print, publicity, web, social, and internal platforms.

- Experience designing and producing corporate recognition experiences where individuals step onto a branded backdrop, are photographed, and record short video messages that celebrate their achievements.

## What clients can expect

- Clear pre-session planning so your goals, usage (web, print, internal), and timeline are defined before shoot day, saving time and reducing retakes.

- Calm, professional direction on set—posing, lighting, and messaging handled for you—so you can focus on looking confident and authentic, not on the technical details.

- Fast, dependable turnaround with curated selects, expert retouching, and edited video assets that match your brand and are simple to deploy across your marketing and HR channels.

If you are looking for a photographer and video producer who understands both the technical and business side, this studio is set up to handle everything from a single headshot session to a multi-camera corporate event.

    Ive never felt comfortable in front of a camera. It makes me really nervous and anxious. I found Appture when I was looking for someone to make a photo montage for me to use as an advertisement for my small business and I knew immediately when I talked with Dan Elliott that I had found the right place. He understood exactly what I wanted and showed me several projects he had already done so we could talk through my vision. Not only did he help me think about wardrobe so I could put together my looks before the shoot, but while I was on set he provided really good direction and made me feel comfortable enough to actually look like myself. The resulting images were amazing--so much better than anything I could have done myself or that Ive seen other people post. I highly recommend Appture Media to anyone who needs an expert who can provide painless, professional results.

    Dan Elliott has this amazing insight to how to make a clients dream come to life. Its like the guy has a supercomputer for a brain and a musicians soul. Really wish Id found him sooner. So much easier and less stressful now that I have him as a resource.
