Photo, video and drone
Your business,
in its best light.
Drone footage, headshots, product photos, event coverage and short videos for social media, planned for your website and marketing and ADA/WCAG compliant from the start.
Photo and video
Real pictures of your real business
Stock photos show someone else’s business, and visitors can tell. Original photos and video show the people, places and products that make your business worth choosing, and they give your website pictures no competitor has.
We plan every shoot around where the pictures will be used: your website, your social media, your ads and your print pieces. Then we shoot on location across the Adirondacks and the North Country, edit everything, and deliver files sized and ready for every place they will appear.

How it works
From shot list to finished files
- Plan. We build a shot list around your website pages, your marketing and your busiest seasons.
- Shoot. We come to you, at the time of day and year that shows your business at its best.
- Edit. Color, cropping, sound, music and captions, all finished for you.
- Deliver. You receive the edited photos and video, sized for your website, social media, ads and print, along with the raw files.
Full film production with Adirondack Film Productions
For commercials, documentaries, event films and other projects that call for a full film crew, we partner closely with Adirondack Film Productions. They bring complete digital film production, with cinema cameras from ARRI, Blackmagic Design, Sony and Canon. We plan the project with you, then caption, describe and build the finished video into your website and marketing so it works for every visitor.
Accessible from the start
Photo and video everyone can use
ADA/WCAG compliance covers the photos and video on your website too, and most photographers never give it a thought. We build it into every shoot.
- Captions for every video with speech (WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.2.2)
- Audio description when the picture shows something the soundtrack does not say (1.2.5)
- Transcripts that let people read what a video says and shows (1.2.3)
- Alt text written for every photo on your website (1.1.1)
- A pause button on background video, so moving pictures never get in the way (2.2.2)
- No rapid flashing, which can trigger seizures (2.3.1)
Already have video? We can add captions, transcripts and audio description to it. Learn more about ADA/WCAG compliant websites.
