Luke Satoru contracted with Schmidt Productions to provide jewelry photography, web and print graphic design.

The images were then used in a print and trade show marketing materials as well as the new LukeSatoru.com web site.

Project: Kodiak Lodge

Kodiak Lodge contracted with Schmidt Productions to provide commercial photography to highlight Kodiak Lodge's Alaska fishing lodge and guide services on beautiful Kodiak Island Alaska. The project included 4 days of shooting in remote Alaska locations near Larsen Bay capturing fresh and salt water fishing, lodging, cuisine and Alaskan wildlife. 

Schmidt Productions photography was used extensively in the Kodiak Lodge brochure designed by the talented creative team at DEI Creative. Schmidt Productions provided web design for KodiakLodge.com as well as print ad design and production for Kodiak Lodge.

Project: Black Hills Molding

Black Hills Molding of Rapid City, SD contracted with Schmidt Productions to provide commercial photography, logo and web site design. The logo design was completed in 1994 and was then incorporated into business card, envelope and letterhead designs. The more recent photography included shots of company team members, facilities and products which were then incorporated into the web design.

Currently, Black Hills Molding is working with Schmidt Productions to develop logo, print and web designs for newer ventures and business entities.

The Black Hills Molding projects are a great example of how Schmidt Productions can offer a one-stop-shop solution for businesses that need graphic design, print design, web design, marketing consulting and commercial photography and prefer to take advantage of the simplicity of keeping it all with one vendor saving time, money and energy communicating their branding message.

Commercial Photography Website Updated

I spent some time today updating the portfolio sections of my commercial photography website to better optimize it for search engine results. One of the main changes was replacing my flash portfolios with html pages. The html pages contain many of the key words that I am wanting to increase my ranking on such as: commercial photographer, food photographer, product photographer, jewelry photographer, portrait photographer, beauty photographer, advertising photographer.

I also updated my recent clients pages to include 2008 commercial photography clients. I'm hopeful that the changes will help tag my pages better as a commercial photography web site and increase my rankings for searches in Seattle, WA and nationally.
