In a bit of a rush, so no time today to make a formal introduction
for myself. Sorry.
I am searching for a professional photographer that either
specializes in jewelry (and/or beadwork) or is very proficient at it
and who is located within 100 miles of Santa Rosa, CA.
An online resume or photo gallery would be helpful.
Or…if anyone can recommend a good photographer for this genre, I’d
really appreciate the referral.
I have not used Hap Sakwa yet, but he has photographed my work for Guild.com and I really like how he captured my work. Not exactly sure
how close he is to Santa Rosa but he’s in NorCal. Google Hap Sakwa
and that should take you where you need to be. Good luck!
I live in Santa Rosa, have my studio in Santa Rosa & I highly
recommend Hap Sakwa in Sebastopol - many of the photos I have on my
website were done by him - and many of the photos of my work that
have appeared in publications were done by him. He is pleasant,
expeditious, willing to work with you to get the results you are
looking for - and will do his best to provide the photos you need in
a reasonable time frame. ( He is always busy so you should allow a
decent lead time - like a week - he will tell you if he can get it
done sooner) When you go to his studio, you will see his display of
photos he has taken of some of the best metal artistry of our
generation. Just a happy client - no vested interest in Hap’s
business…
Another excellent photographer is Robert Diamante. He is the
primary photographer for all of Tim McCreight's books.
Unfortunately, unless something recently changed Robert moved to
Bali to run the advertising/marketing department of John Hardy…I
miss him and my photos and will probably try Hap this winter.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all, Beth Mcelhiney (arrived
in California this weekend and spending the next two months here
escaping the weather back east on the island)
