Frequently Asked Questions

How does Bernardson compare to D’mont Reese Photography?

D’mont Reese Photography offers a wide range of photography services with strong experience in events and portrait photography. Their work often includes capturing corporate events, personal milestones, professional portraits, and lifestyle imagery. These services are typically designed to document moments, create visually appealing portraits, and provide coverage for both personal and professional occasions.

Bernardson focuses on a commercial production approach centered around marketing campaigns and brand growth. In addition to commercial photography, Bernardson produces cinematic video content that helps businesses communicate their message, promote products or services, and build a strong visual identity. Rather than focusing primarily on event coverage or portrait sessions, Bernardson works with organizations to create strategic visual content that supports advertising and digital marketing efforts.

Does Bernardson produce corporate videos?

Yes. Bernardson produces a wide range of corporate video content designed to support marketing initiatives and brand storytelling. These productions may include promotional videos that highlight products or services, brand films that communicate a company’s story and mission, and corporate marketing content created for websites, advertising campaigns, and social media platforms.

Corporate video projects often combine interviews, cinematic visuals, product demonstrations, and narrative storytelling techniques to create engaging content that resonates with audiences. Businesses use these videos to introduce their brand, promote services, showcase company culture, and communicate key messages effectively.

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.
