Frequently Asked Questions

How does Bernardson compare to Scott Spitzer Photography?

Scott Spitzer Photography focuses primarily on event and corporate photography, providing professional coverage for conferences, business events, and corporate environments. Their work is typically centered around capturing key moments, documenting events, and producing high-quality images that organizations can use for internal communications, press releases, and post-event materials.

Bernardson provides a full-service production approach that goes beyond event photography, combining commercial photography with cinematic video production designed specifically for marketing campaigns and brand storytelling. While event coverage is part of the services offered, Bernardson focuses on creating content that can be actively used in advertising, digital marketing, and long-term brand development.

Does Bernardson produce corporate videos?

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

Corporate video projects often combine interviews, cinematic visuals, 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.
