By being intentional with our shot list, we can create images that accomplish an actual goal, whether it be increase sales, drive traffic, or convey a branding message

You don’t find time, you make time
You don’t find time, you make time

You need to schedule in the time for these type of tasks because the time will never just appear. You need to treat your own marketing and branding work just like you treat a client’s time.

“In advertising, perception is a huge part of how your brand plays out, and unifying your online presence is a powerful aspect of building that visual brand. ”

Who Needs Branding?

Amplifying who you are, how you can help, where you are going and how you got there, and how you fit into this society, and world at large, are all great candidates for your branding approach.

How can you use the precious seconds that a potential client spends looking at your site or social media post to let them know who you really are? What does that viewer need to see to convince themselves they are making the right decision?

Good visual branding is your creative cheat code to stand out in a sea of the same.

Yeah, this is me.

What? You didn’t think I’d neglect my own visual branding, did you?

I squeeze every day like a lemon. Spend any time with me, and you’ll notice I always gravitate towards optimism and human connection. Other bits to explain why I am the way that I am…

•Count me a lucky and very much still-in-love husband; a proud dad of two children much smarter than I was at their age. Got myself a clingy chocolate lab named Mabel and two cats who think they’re better than me. I live in Victor, NY.

•How can you not love living in WNY, with it’s changing seasons and wealth of diversity, culture, and dining? If I can be outdoors, that’s where you will find me. Nature is my main artistic inspiration.

•Absolutely love to cook, and have gotten pretty good at it. Surrounding yourself with chefs and conducting countless food shoots does that to a person. Still absolutely hate doing the dishes.

•Besides nature, music is my main artistic muse. I’ll go out to see any kind of music, and have seen hundreds of live shows. In my mind, the visual arts and music speak the same language, just in different dialects. In a literal sense, my Airpods are my gateway to creativity.

•I listen to countless books on Audible-partial to thrillers, sci-fi, and horror novels with superheroes, zombies, time travel, and kaiju. Every third book, I make a point to listen to something that challenges or enriches my worldview.

•Downhill skiing, tennis, disc (and ball) golf, mountain biking, and floor hockey (every Wednesday night for almost fifteen years, I’ve played in the Rochester Floor Hockey League-just ask for Cannonball Kurt) I’m skilled in those activities in pretty much that order too.

•As you may notice, I also specialize in producing aerial panoramas and landscape photography. My artistic intent is to show the everyday world in a way that inspires awe and appreciation. Feel free to check out my e-commerce gallery if you’re looking for some natural beauty for your home or office. (Online gallery is being developed-will completed by mid-March 2023)

Okay, that’s enough about me. Moving on to you…

Are you frustrated that your branding and marketing efforts fall flat when your visuals don’t reflect your professionalism?

Do you have a great product, service, or feature that is going unnoticed because you can’t portray it effectively?

Is your website or social media populated mostly with lots of text, hashtags, boring phone pics, or worse yet, generic stock images?

Hit me up. Together, we’ll create branding imagery that solves those problems and makes you the hero of your own story!
