Digital Shoebox Studios was born twenty years ago. I was a father trying to assemble slideshows and videos. It was laborious to say the least. A flatbed scanner on summer evenings. Then it hit me. This is a universal problem. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE has ‘stuff’. Boxes and bags of it. It’s one of the only things you always take with you. From home to college to apartment to another apartment and finally your own home or five. Your ‘stuff’ comes with you.
This was the Genesis of my business, buying equipment and filling needs. I was an IT specialist working for the most fully globally integrated law firm in the world before starting this company. I was also building this business through relationships. About 80% of our clients need a consultation. These are singular captures of a moment in time. Pieces of plastic, film paper, celluloid and magnetic tape. You can’t just hand them to a stranger. It’s one of the few industries where there is a 0% fail threshold. It has to be right. Your stuff is safe with us….always!
Digital Shoebox and Black Dog Studios photography is a diverse and honest approach to capturing. I’ve been a photographer for over 25 years. And I still learn each day on the set. That’s the beauty of photography if you embrace it deeply. I love what I do. I am able to witness through my lense, the best of theater, sports, architecture and interesting faces. But mostly life. A camera image is usually better or worse than reality. Sometimes, it’s exactly reality. I’m shooting for better or exactly.
I specialize in portrait/headshot, family, sports, performance, real estate/commercial/restaurant, and glamour.
