I don't know if Eliseo rushed through my photos or what. He said they all had minor editing/retouching, but I don't think that's the case. All my photos (all 500-600 of them) have yellow/dark lighting and my photos have the backdrop cut off. Unfortunately, I can't use most of these photos because of the poor quality. When sharing the photos with multiple family members, all commented on the poor quality. It seemed to me that he didn't care about what he was giving me. Unfortunately, the photos look like a compilation of ones people took on their iPhones. I asked Eliseo if there was anything that could be done about the photos. Again, he didn't care to make it right. He told me the photos already had minor retouching. My intention and request was to work with Eliseo to improve my photos. The backdrops were already cut off and there was nothing that could be done about that. However, the lighting could have been modified to make them look less dark and yellow. When I conveyed this to Eliseo, I got a very nasty response back via text saying "I'm a 50x international award winning photographer and if you wanted something different it should have been brought to our attention... as far as professional it does not get any more professional than us thank you". I never in a million years expected this type of disrespectful response and it was very uncalled for. I also didn't know i had to tell a professional photographer to make sure they use good lighting and to not cut off the backdrop. I'm still very upset about everything that happened and again, he didn't even try to make it right. I spent $2,000 for one day photo and video and looking back, I wish I would have picked another photographer. What I will say though, if the lighting on my photos were adjusted and fixed, I would have been okay. The fact that he didn't care to do so and was extremely rude on top of it just left me very dissatisfied.

My husband and I are expecting our first child, a boy, and since we couldn't have a gender reveal…read moreparty or a baby shower we still wanted to do something memorable to remember these precious times of our pregnancy. So my great husband surprised me by taking me to Santa Barbara for the day and then the cherry on top was that he hired a photographer, Mike, for a private photo shoot by the beach. Mike was extremely professional. He showed up on time and suggested a few locations along the coast, one of which was the Butterfly Beach and it was the perfect spot. He had all of his gear with him, and got right down to business. He is such a visionary and we immediately knew he's a true pro because he would see a rock and would guide us in positioning ourselves in a way that the pose looks both nice and natural at the same time. Photo shoots can sometimes feel a bit forced and a drag but not with Mike. He was talking to us and sharing stories with us the whole time. It was both entertaining and made the whole experience a lot more relaxed and natural. And the cherry on top was that we got all of our photos back within days so the thrill of that experience was still fresh and we were so delighted once we saw the finished photos. He captures amazing and authentic moments. I highly highly recommend Mike to anyone that wants a photo shoot for literary anything. We already know that Mike will do our baby's photo shoot once he's born and all the other previous times in our lives we would like to be captured.

Just over two years ago, I produced and directed a music video for a Bakersfield artist. Given the…read moreskeleton crew and overall budget, the music video shoot was somewhat quick and dirty, but I was happy with the final product. At the behest of the executive producer, MKC Photography was hired by the production to provide behind-the-scenes photography. First and foremost, the quality of images we received is second to none. Edited images were delivered in a timely manner. In fact, the photos were finished way before the music video! In regards to our specific collaboration, what really set Michael apart (i.e. what makes him beyond invaluable) was his kind and generous spirit. He was very patient with us, the production. Personally, I deeply appreciated that behavior. In this current landscape where just about anyone can pick up a camera and call themselves a photographer, MKC is a consummate professional. Oh and his replies are typically very fast, which I also appreciate! Our needs for his services were rather specific; this is true. However, I have seen his other work, namely event photography of say live concerts. It too, is just great. MKC Photography is really that damn good. FVE

It all started with a cold call requesting Santa for an event. Yes, folks - Irma has the power to summon the big jolly man himself. This Santa was 100% the real deal and even made an appearance with Mrs. Claus! To see adults enjoy the spirit of Christmas like that was an absolute treasure. I knew Irma was my 'event-planner for life' when I hired her to help with a company holiday party a few years ago. Between multiple reschedules and last minute changes she remained kind as ever. What she managed to pull off in such a short time was a magnificent wonderland of a party. The details were nothing short of magical. I'm so thankful for Irma and her crew of superheroes. Her passion for event planning and helping people is why I'll continue to support her business. And also because I can be confident my event will be perfect.

How Filming a Success Story Gave Birth to One…read more In December 2014, my company landed a project with a new client that involved creating a "customer success video" to showcase the use of my client's equipment at one of their customer facilities. That customer was located in Bakersfield, California; I was 3,000 miles away in New York. Since this was both my first time working in the video medium and my very first project with this client, I knew it was crucial to retain the services of an experienced professional. I searched online and made several calls before finding a production house that would work within my budget and that I'd be able to work with remotely on the editing and production process once I returned back home. Fortunately, I found Jeff at Highlights Video Productions. Jeff was already at the customer site when I arrived early the morning of the film shoot, and his tripod was all set up with his camera ready to roll for our first filming sequence. Given that the premises were comprised largely of warehousing space, a small laboratory and a few cubicles, we needed to get creative to produce a visually captivating video that would showcase my client's laboratory instrumentation products and reflect well on both my client and their customer. The small amount of ingenuity we applied during filming and later, the use of external imagery and footage Jeff weaved in during production, paid off well in adding visual appeal that would engage viewers. One I was back in New York, Jeff and I collaborated on editing the hour-long raw footage into a concise 4-minute video that met the project goals. Several cuts were needed before we were ready to debut the video to the client and several more, once executives at the client organization weighed in with their change requests. While there were more edits than either of us anticipated, together we identified the best approaches to making them and creating a testimonial video that made everyone look good. Interestingly enough, the project represented a "first" for all parties involved: It was the first time my client had used video to portray a customer success testimonial; the first time our spokesperson appeared on camera; the first time Jeff and I worked together; and, the first time I worked on a project for this client. Despite all these "maiden voyages," my collaboration with Jeff was a success story of all its own: We received high praise from the client, a global leader in its industry, who described the finished product as "a great video!" also saying, "It's great that we have customers who sing such high praises for our instruments." In addition, their Bakersfield customer also had good things to say about the video, jokingly writing, "You actually made me look like I know what I'm talking about!" Jeff and I had shared both an enjoyable and educational experience collaborating on this project together as I'm sure he'll tell you. In the 6 weeks we worked together to fine-tune the production, Jeff was always accommodating, responsive, creative and resourceful, helping me deliver an excellent project that we're all very proud of. I definitely plan on reaching out to Jeff again on future video production projects and recommend him to anyone looking to "highlight" their corporate or personal brand.
