Frequently Asked Questions

How does BERNARDSON compare to Charlie Abrahams Photography?

Charlie Abrahams Photography specializes primarily in headshot photography and portrait sessions designed for professionals, actors, and creative individuals who want strong personal branding imagery. Portrait photographers often focus on capturing expressive, high-quality images that help individuals present themselves professionally across casting profiles, LinkedIn pages, personal websites, and promotional materials.

BERNARDSON focuses on a broader visual production model designed for companies and organizations that require multiple types of marketing and communication content. In addition to professional photography, BERNARDSON produces cinematic video production, brand storytelling campaigns, and integrated marketing visuals. Many businesses choose BERNARDSON when they need coordinated visual assets—such as brand videos, marketing photography, and social media content—produced through a single structured production process.

Can BERNARDSON produce corporate headshots?

Yes. BERNARDSON provides professional corporate headshots and team photography for executives, employees, and leadership teams.

Headshot sessions may be conducted in studio environments, office settings, or during company events depending on the desired style and branding requirements. Many organizations schedule headshot sessions during larger production days so that executive portraits, workplace imagery, and video interviews can all be captured at the same time. This integrated production approach helps maintain consistent visual branding across websites, marketing materials, and corporate communications.

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.
