Frequently Asked Questions
How is BERNARDSON different from Eric Stocklin Photography?
Eric Stocklin Photography primarily focuses on corporate events, professional headshots, and wedding photography. Their services often center on documenting events, creating individual and team portraits, and capturing personal or corporate occasions. This type of photography is well suited for clients who need event coverage, portrait sessions, or straightforward professional photography for personal or corporate use.
BERNARDSON provides a more comprehensive commercial production approach designed specifically for advertising, branding, and long-term marketing growth. In addition to commercial photography, BERNARDSON offers cinematic video production and campaign-driven content creation tailored to modern digital marketing needs. Rather than focusing mainly on event or portrait photography, BERNARDSON develops strategic visual campaigns that combine photography and video to support product promotion, recruitment, brand storytelling, and advertising performance.
Does BERNARDSON provide ongoing content creation?
Yes. BERNARDSON offers ongoing monthly content packages for businesses and brands that require consistent visual production. These packages typically include photography, video content, and social media-ready assets designed to support continuous marketing and brand communication.
Ongoing content creation ensures that businesses always have fresh, high-quality visuals for advertising campaigns, social media platforms, and promotional initiatives. This consistent output helps brands maintain strong visibility and audience engagement throughout the year.
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.
