Frequently Asked Questions

How does Bernardson's pricing compare to Alexandre Paskanoi's?

Pricing varies because we offer different service scopes. For photography-only projects such as product photography, commercial campaigns, or editorial work, our rates are competitive within Montreal's professional market.

The value becomes clear when you need both photography and video. Bundling services in a single production day typically saves 30-40% compared to hiring separate specialists. We provide transparent custom quotes based on your specific needs.

Can Bernardson match Alexandre Paskanoi's photography quality and retouching expertise?

Alexandre Paskanoi is recognized for his refined creative vision, international editorial work, and high-end retouching capabilities. His studio's meticulous attention to lighting, composition, and post-production detail is exceptional for brands needing specialized commercial and fashion photography.

Bernardson delivers professional commercial photography and retouching as part of our broader content programs. Our strength is coordinating photography within larger projects, shooting product images and brand videos simultaneously for consistent visual identity across all deliverables.

What makes Bernardson's multi-platform approach different?

Traditional studios shoot in one format and expect clients to adapt it for different platforms. This typically results in cropped or awkwardly framed content that underperforms on specific channels.

We plan multi-platform optimization from pre-production. We shoot vertical (9:16 for Instagram/TikTok), square (1:1 for feeds), and widescreen (16:9 for YouTube) simultaneously with platform-specific messaging. Engagement rates typically increase 40-60% compared to repurposed content.
