I first met the photographer of Kallol photography during a soccer tournament when he was asked to…read moreshoot photos. I found him capturing the moments of the soccer matches very diligently and the person who hired him for the soccer tournament highly recommend him for his photography. Later, I decided to ask him to take photos on my daughter's birthday party. I am very satisfied with his work ethics and devotion for photography. Kallol is very punctual person. He came to the event area couple of minute before the start time. He even gave us idea how to position the stage so that the photo will have optimum lights. He even helped us to move the stage area by capturing trial photos beforehand. Throughout the party, he tried his best to snap all the good moments. His time management during the event was awesome. He not only took the photo in front of busy staging area, but also manage time to take photos in seating area, outdoor, food area etc. He captured some very precious moment of my daughter. We are very happy after seeing those photos. Kallol is very professional about giving us our party-photos. He gave us all photos in three different formats (soft copies). One soft copy format is for our paper print, another one is optimized for uploading in social media like facebook, Instagram etc. Third one is raw images, if we would like to edit these raw photos for future use, we can now use those. He was very quick about organizing the photos and he sent us within very few days. Kallol make the whole process very easy and fun; we highly recommend him as a professional photographer. We will definitely hire him for my next events in future.

However, it's not easy to capture pictures of a bunch of two year olds twirling around and I knew I wasn't the one for the job. Fortunately, Doug and Diana came to the rescue! The kids were at ease with them around, I was able to focus on hosting the party and enjoying the celebration. And thanks to Diana and Doug I have beautiful pictures that I will cherish forever! Doug and Diana caught the girls in candid photos and somehow gently corralled all of them for group shots twice!

Technology Association of Oregon used Jason DeSomer to photograph two events in 2016 - Oregon…read moreTechnology Awards in May and Party in the Pinot in July. We were blown away by his shots. His images capture the spirit of our events and eliminate the contrived photos that are typical of awards ceremonies and outdoor events. He is extremely professional, and non-intrusive while interacting with guests. He captures the moment at our events in so many different ways we can't quite figure out how he got from here to there in that amount of time - but its impressive. And he provides our photos quickly so we can send them out to our community in a timely manner. In 2017 we booked early to lock down those two events, and two more our Kickoff Party in January and Kickball Tournament in August. When planning events you are always looking for great vendors who, in addition to providing stellar service, make your life easier the day of the big event. Jason DeSomer does this, and I can't recommend his services enough.

Jason was everything I was looking for in a photographer, and more!…read more I was searching for a photographer online and Jason's work stood out to me because he has an eye for great camera angles and subject placement, and his photos were very crisp and clear with great lighting and editing (something I found lacking in many others' portfolios). When I emailed him, his quotes were clear and reasonable, and he outlined everything in detail. I was modeling some outfits for a photo shoot in my house. Thankfully, Jason had a lot of great ideas for posing and I already knew the photos would turn out amazing! (I've done shoots with other photographers where I was given no direction and most of the photos came out awkward or meh). I was very happy with the shoot and the photos I received. I would definitely work with Jason again, and recommend him to anyone needing quality photos!

I hired Powers Studios, and fell for their marketing…read more I had good engagement photos, but I didn't like the wedding photos. I was sold on the extra photographer because their explanation was one would be aimed at us, and one at guests for the same events (to get a fuller picture). Nope, many of our shots were two photographers from different angles. We did their online form and hired them just a few months before our wedding. Somehow they told us the two we selected as our top photographers were available. I kinda feel like it was not true and just propaganda. I just wanted a few photos that I can print and show around my home. I spent $500 after the wedding to take more photos. Also, part of my anger is that my family is latino, and dark skinned. Nearly all of the photos did not include my family. I gave them a list of 4-5 people that were important to us and to get photos (my dad, my aunt). I have one photo of my aunt where she's the focus (she was my mother figure growing up) and she's looking from the side, and I have I believe 3 of my dad. I'm not sure how this happened, but I do have one of my dad that I just love. I asked for about two dozen to get edited one way or another and they tried to charge me just to do that thing you see online where only one color is highlighted in a photo and the rest is greyscale. I couldn't believe the audacity that to do that to just two photos they would charge me. There's free online software, but when you spend around $1k for photographers, you'd think they could spend a short amount of time. Pros: quick turnaround on engagement photos, good engagement photos, friendly Cons: treated me like they were doing me a favor, second photographer was not noticeably adding a benefit, poor photo quality (I'll attach some of the ones they sent me), did not take photos of two of the people I asked to be highlighted, didn't take many photos of the dark skinned people at my wedding. This is one of the most expensive photographers we sought a quote from, so I expected better. In response to my post, Seppi wishes I had reached out to him sooner. I emailed him multiple times regarding not the quality and costs. No offer for reshoot, refund were offered. His response is dose genius. After posting this a coworker told me her friends had the same experience of disappointment with this studio.

Creative. Dynamic. Portland. Three words to describe Powers Photography, as I've been very…read moreimpressed with all they've had to offer thus far. There are certainly a dime a dozen photographers who specialize in all sorts of special events, but many of them aren't in the same league as these pros. Capturing the moment is a skill best practiced by the photographers of PPS. Like many before me, I took part in a series of wedding shots (as one of many groomsman) during the summer time and the results that came of it were simply spectacular. Initially I didn't think much of the photographers as they didn't seem to be extremely demanding for our poses, have a vocal sense of direction, and they weren't lugging around much equipment. But after seeing the photos they took post processing, it really is about the person behind the lens, as opposed to the lens itself. They were organized, flexible with large groups of folks, great at composition, and even had a plan for an itinerary of photo taking throughout the day. Not all of us were made to be models, but they did a stellar job of showcasing everyone's best sides. If it were simply about the portfolio, they'd get the job any day. But what made the experience complete, was the fun loving, professional attitude that they managed to incorporate throughout the entire process. Bravo Powers!
