Frequently Asked Questions
How does Bernardson's pricing compare to Vadim Daniel's?
Pricing varies because we offer different service scopes. For photography-only projects (corporate headshots, product photography), our rates are competitive within Montreal.
The value comes when you need both photography and video. Bundling services typically saves 30-40% compared to hiring separate specialists. We provide transparent custom quotes based on your needs.
Can Bernardson match Vadim Daniel's headshot expertise?
Vadim Daniel is recognized as one of Montreal's top headshot specialists with nearly 20 years of experience and Peter Hurley's Headshot Crew credentials. His studio work and expression coaching are exceptional for professionals needing specialized portrait work.
Bernardson delivers professional corporate headshots as part of our broader photography services. Our strength is coordinating headshots within larger projects, shooting team photos during the same day as brand video interviews for perfect visual consistency across all deliverables.
What makes Bernardson's multi-platform approach different?
Traditional studios shoot in one format and expect you to adapt it for different platforms. This leads to cropped or awkwardly framed content that underperforms.
We plan multi-platform optimization from the start. We shoot vertical (9:16 for Instagram/TikTok), square (1:1 for feeds), and widescreen (16:9 for YouTube) simultaneously. Each platform gets content designed specifically for it, typically increasing engagement rates 40-60% compared to repurposed content.
