Commercial Video + Photography Built for Brand Growth
The Gallery Studios has built a strong reputation as one of Tampa’s established photography studios. Founded by photographer Steve Poisall, the studio has more than four decades of experience specializing in professional headshots, corporate event photography, and commercial photography for businesses across Central Florida.
The studio focuses on helping professionals present themselves with confidence through polished executive portraits and business headshots. The Gallery Studios also provides corporate event photography and marketing images for businesses that need professional photography to support branding, websites, and printed materials.
While traditional photography studios focus primarily on still imagery, many modern businesses now require a broader range of visual content including video production, social media media, marketing campaigns, and multi-platform storytelling.
Bernardson provides comprehensive visual production services combining professional photography with full-scale video production and marketing-focused content strategies. Our team helps organizations produce brand films, corporate marketing visuals, training videos, social media campaigns, and documentary storytelling designed to support real business growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does BERNARDSON compare to The Gallery Studios?
The Gallery Studios is known primarily for professional headshots and corporate photography services. Many clients work with studios like this when they need executive portraits, LinkedIn headshots, or team photos for company websites and marketing materials. These services are often focused on delivering high-quality still photography in studio environments.
BERNARDSON provides a broader range of visual production services that extend beyond traditional photography. In addition to corporate headshots and branding photography, BERNARDSON produces commercial video content, brand storytelling campaigns, product marketing videos, and integrated visual assets designed for modern digital marketing channels. This allows organizations to capture multiple types of content within a single production strategy.
Does BERNARDSON offer professional headshots?
Yes. BERNARDSON provides professional corporate headshots, executive portraits, and team photography for businesses and organizations.
Headshots can be produced in studio environments, at company offices, or during corporate events depending on the visual style required. Many companies schedule headshot sessions during broader content production days so that leadership portraits, workplace imagery, and promotional videos can all be captured at the same time. This helps maintain consistent visual branding across company 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.
