But after talking with Michael…read moreabout all the different services they offer I decided to have him create a graphic for our bowling shirts. Our league is rather small and informal, and our team would be the only ones with proper bowling shirts. Even still I wanted ours to be awesome. Michael is a 1st class professional. He always promptly returned my calls. Even though I'm sure this job was just a side project for him, he made me feel like I was his number 1 priority. He designed a few different graphics, and listened to my input. Then came up with a final image that I loved. When I submitted the graphic to the shirt company, they told me it was one of the best they had ever seen. Only about half of our team ordered shirts, but when the finished product arrived people were so impressed that we placed 2 more orders. The entire league was wishing they had shirts as cool as ours. There is a lot that goes into graphic design, more than just artistic talent and an ability to draw. Michael is a virtuoso in every aspect. Were I a muscian there is no one else I would want in my corner. This man can create on another level. Audio, visual, you name it. But he is grounded in reality, no big egos to get past. A pleasure to work with.

Thanks Michael! See you soon!

One of the biggest highlights was the strategy session before the shoot. We discussed not just what type of photos to take, but also how they would be used in my future marketing efforts, ensuring that every image aligned with my brand identity. This level of thoughtfulness made a huge difference in maximizing the impact of my branding. What also stood out was the collaboration--Atlas Studios brings together an amazing team of professionals to enhance the shoot. The photographer's passion for mentoring others in the industry was evident, and that inspiring energy carried through the entire experience. Beyond logistics, Atlas Studios excels in creativity and authenticity. The photos truly captured my personality, and I felt completely at ease throughout the session. If you're looking for a branding photographer who understands marketing strategy, collaboration, and authenticity, I highly recommend Atlas Studios!

They take a few (free) pictures of you, put you in their database and call you when an ad agency decides you'd be a good look for their next spot.

I had been thinking of purchasing a camera for a while and had my research independently, and…read moredecided down to a Fujifilm XM5 or XT30III, but I struggled to make that last decision because I couldn't tell how the cameras would feel in my hands. I saw online that they had the two cameras in stock (although, if you are particular about whether there are kit lenses or not, you should call ahead) so felt pretty good about dropping in on a Saturday. There were a few people speaking to all available staff so I did wait a bit, but soon enough I was able to speak to two separate staff members. The first may have been a manager and was able to tell me upfront what was in stock and what was in the area (other location or in their warehouse - would need to be transferred). I asked if I could hold the cameras, either with the showroom cameras or whichever way. They had an XS20 on display (similar weight) and pulled an XM5 from the back. Just from the weights, I could tell that the XM5 was the right choice for me. The other salesperson was able to pair me with a Fujinon 27mm pancake lens that would keep my unit light and compact and a UV lens for protection. I will say that anybody coming in should do their research - the suggestions were helpful and already in line with what I had been planning to buy, but there are other options that are more budget friendly that they may not offer. I mentioned that I was going on a cruise to Alaska soon and asked about rentals, and he recommended that I call a few weeks in advance to see what they had in inventory to rent out. I will definitely do so! He said to aim for a 50-200mm and mentioned lensrental.com if they did not have what I needed in stock. Overall I was very pleased with their service. I would definitely come back for my other camera needs.
