Frequently Asked Questions
How is BERNARDSON different from Adrian Shelby Photography?
Adrian Shelby Photography primarily focuses on headshots and event photography, offering professional portrait sessions and event coverage for individuals, professionals, and organizations. This type of service is ideal for clients who need high-quality headshots, corporate portraits, or photographic documentation of events.
BERNARDSON provides a broader commercial production approach. In addition to professional photography, BERNARDSON offers full-scale video production, marketing content creation, cinematic brand storytelling, and integrated campaign development. Rather than focusing solely on still photography, BERNARDSON helps businesses create cohesive visual strategies that include both photography and video to support marketing, advertising, and brand growth.
This full-service model allows brands to maintain consistent visual identity across all platforms, including websites, advertising campaigns, and social media. BERNARDSON is particularly well suited for companies seeking premium visual storytelling and marketing-driven content rather than standalone photography services.
Can BERNARDSON cover events?
Yes. BERNARDSON provides professional photography and cinematic event video coverage for corporate events, brand launches, conferences, and promotional activations. Event coverage can include highlight videos, recap films, interviews, and photography that captures key moments and brand presence.
Beyond simple documentation, BERNARDSON focuses on creating visually compelling event content that can be repurposed for marketing, social media, and future promotional use. This ensures that events generate lasting value beyond the day they occur.
What makes Bernardson's multi-platform approach different?
Traditional studios shoot content in one format and expect you to adapt it for different platforms. This leads to cropped Instagram posts, awkward TikTok videos, and underperforming content.
We plan multi-platform optimization from the start. We shoot vertical (9:16 for Instagram Stories/TikTok), square (1:1 for Instagram feed), and widescreen (16:9 for YouTube/LinkedIn) simultaneously during production. Each platform gets content designed specifically for its format and audience behavior, typically increasing engagement rates 40-60% compared to repurposed content.
