Frequently Asked Questions

How does BERNARDSON compare to Kevin Day Photography?

Kevin Day Photography specializes in professional headshots and model portfolio photography, often serving actors, models, and professionals who need polished portrait images for casting submissions, personal branding, and professional profiles. Portrait studios like this typically focus on producing high-quality still imagery that highlights individual personalities and professional presentation.

BERNARDSON focuses on a broader visual production approach designed for companies and organizations that require more than portrait photography alone. In addition to corporate headshots and professional portraits, BERNARDSON provides cinematic video production, commercial photography, marketing campaign visuals, and corporate storytelling content. Many businesses choose BERNARDSON when they need multiple types of visual content—such as brand videos, promotional photography, and social media assets—created within a single coordinated production strategy.

Can BERNARDSON produce professional headshots?

Yes. BERNARDSON provides professional corporate headshots and executive portraits for individuals, leadership teams, and entire organizations.

Headshot sessions may take place in studio environments, workplace settings, or during corporate events depending on the visual style required. Many companies schedule headshot photography alongside other content production activities such as video interviews, workplace photography, or promotional campaigns. Integrating headshots into larger production schedules helps maintain consistent visual branding across websites, marketing materials, and social media platforms.

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.
