Not to mention, he's super-entertaining. He just likes to talk, and makes you feel totally at ease when you're being sketched. He can also do caricatures from photos, but if you have a chance, you should have him do the caricaturing in person - the experience is totally worth it.

Like the other reviewer said, Doug has a way of talking to his subjects so they'll reveal their eccentricities, which then show up in their pictures. He can draw a digital caricature in a little over 10 minutes.

J. Micheal Tucker Photography is fantastic. I work as an entertainment lawyer and band manager. I…read moregave him the task of photographing a band I was working with and producing an original band photo. Now, this task is not as easy as it seems and if you scroll through all of the cliche uninteresting band photos out there, you will understand why. He was able to capture the essence and the soul of the soul band. His photos were the perfect marketing tool I was searching for to allow the public and fans to understand the bands' character. Moreover, they were amazing pieces of art, absolutely perfect.

He immediately put me at ease, walked me through the process and made helpful suggestions, for which I was grateful. He took MANY pictures and I had lots from which to choose. He was also extremely responsive and finished the touch-ups quickly. I would go back to Hugo in a heartbeat and 100% recommend him to others. My needs were pretty conventional but his website shows a number of creative options and I think he could work with anyone to get them what they need.

If you're getting married at City Hall, this is an excellent photography option…read more Our photographer's name was Joey. He produced amazing photos! We were very pleasantly surprised at how many we loved. A big advantage of going with this service (and with Joey specifically) was their knowledge of City Hall - where to take photos, etc. We wasted no time in trying to figure out locations, poses, lighting, etc.; Joey knew it all! Their fee schedule is easy to understand and the prices are very reasonable. Although we initially bought the lowest price package we ended up buying all the photos. If doing it again, I would consider buying more of the photos up front as it's lower cost. Would definitely recommend.

Make your event (any event) UNFORGETTABLE. Hire Paul Nathan!…read moreWe needed an entertainer but also an "icebreaker" for a wedding rehearsal dinner as many of our guests were from out of town and had never met. Also, our guests ranged from age 6-to-86 yo. A bit of a challenge. He wowed them all! Paul is a talented magician but, more importantly, a really nice guy. He's friendly and quick-witted and knows how to engage even the most shy "volunteers". When we heard shrieks of laughter and "how did he do THAT?", we knew where to find him mingling through the crowd. THANK YOU, Paul for making our event memorable for all!

We contracted with Desire to Inspire Studios to develop a short (3-minute) promotional video for our fundraising, volunteer recruitment, media relations, and general support requirements. The DTIS team came to our large facility in Terra Linda, interviewed our program's co-coordinators, captured the wonderful interaction between the students and our volunteers, and the intense excitement of a school of third-grade students filling their book bags with ten free books to take home. Not only was this video exceptionally well produced, especially the visual and sound quality, but it captured the very essence of our all-volunteer nonprofit organization. I highly recommend any nonprofit or for-profit organization to explore a promotional video, or a longer video story, with the exceptional DTIS team. Bruce B.
