I got fantastic passport photos done here. Gregg is familiar with passport photo requirements. If…read moreyou've gotten it done at the drug store, you'll know it's a hit or a miss on the passport requirements. The store had a wide range of products and services available, from passport photos and prints to family portraits and frames. Gregg took the time to listen to my questions and provided recommendations for family portrait photos. What impressed me the most was the quality of prints because you can no longer get this quality at places like CVS, Walgreens, or Shutterfly. The prices were also very reasonable, especially considering the quality of paper prints. If you've ordered from Shutterfly you'll know that the paper quality is like the one ply Scott toilet paper. Of if it's Walgreens, the color is off or grainy even when your photo is high resolution. Overall, I was extremely impressed with my experience at Quick Shots, and I will definitely be returning for all of my future photo needs. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for quality prints and passport photos.

If there's an issue it's dealt with quickly but that being said: Never had a disagreement or a dead battery. K&M are the MVP of New York photo EQ rental.

Ok here's the deal. I'm a bit reluctant to write a review for Ruby Bird Studio because, selfishly,…read moreI'd like to keep it to myself and be able to book it whenever I like. And, if the studio owner was someone other than Rebecca I just might have. But I can't and here's why... First off, the space if beautiful. Much of the original architecture is intact and it dates back to the 19th century (for real). If you're looking for a very unique space to shoot in, you'd be hard pressed to find better. The studio is on the top floor of the building and has a very large window that faces a courtyard and get's excellent natural light. It's very clean, spacious and there's great gear to rent at reasonable prices. I shot an editorial and two headshot clients there today and already want to make it a second home. Then there's the studio's owner, Rebecca. She's a gem. She couldn't have done more to make me feel at home and was always available to make sure I had everything I needed for my shoots. As a very well established photographer herself, she understands how important it is to get the shots you need and I haven't encountered a studio owner more warm, helpful and professional than her. The studio just opened and if you've taken the time to read this review Ruby Bird is a place you'll want to foster a relationship with as soon as possible. With a shortage of top notch yet affordable studios in NY, this one is sure to be in every high demand. Thank you, Rebecca, for a great experience! I'l be back lots.

The fact that he also does "photo I.D. cards" (which is hardly ever done any more) on the spot, when you really need them ($25 and up) is a God send.

So far, so great... 6 stars!…read more I switched to AbelCine recently after experiencing some unusually rude salespeople at B&H this year (not in the camera department, mind you, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth). This caused me to seek out alternatives, and after taking an excellent course at AbelCine, it really sealed the deal. As knowledgable as some of the camera people are at B&H, these folks are actually far more knowledgeable. They have *working* knowledge of the latest of everything in pro video. It's like a dream come true. These people are SMART, and stay up to date. If you dig a little, you quickly find out that these are the folks who help set up many professional TV programs and movies with their gear. (And the consulting to put it together right, and use it properly for the best results) For instance, they put together the Sony FS700 package and dressed it up with the right rigging, lens and sound for Anthony Bourdain's new CNN show "Parts Unknown". This was brilliant, and took the new show to a whole new level! Ever notice the new sharpness of the show, and the cool slowmo? Well, thank AbelCine for that! Same thing with you... What they can do for an already incredible show like Anthony Bourdains, they can do for you. They're really nice folks, and don't seem to talk down to people who aren't as well versed. They're like the video equivalent of what Coffey Sound used to be in Hollywood for audio. I have literally been searching for a place like this for years and years now. B&H was close (and was fun to shop before they became too aggressive this year), but this is the real deal if you need someone to help you get pro TV and cinema level results. I think they're under-reviewed because people view as a trade secret or something... And folks keep this secret selfishly to themselves. But seriously, try 'em -- maybe take a course or something like I first did. They're so damn smart, they can take you and your productions to a whole new level, too! (And yes, they do things mere mortals can afford, as well... But do keep in mind, this is really the shop you want to go to when you want to make money from your video work) PS -- They also offer one of the better selections of rental cameras and lenses I've seen. Even uber expensive stuff, like Alexas and Phantom cameras. Even real film cameras! You can also rent things you could never normally afford to spice up a production, or you could rent something cheaper that you're considering buying (like an afford Canon or what have you). It really is good to rent gear before you buy it. They have so many camera body and lens options here to try, you'll be in awe!
