How Markert Photography Creates Engaging Photographs of People & Places

Paul: "I shoot with the latest digital camera and lighting. This provides you with high quality digital files. My workflow is as follows: I shoot tethered to a computer allowing us to see the images as we are shooting. There are no parameters as to how many captures I take per person. I shoot a variety of shots until we feel that we have a great shot. I always guarantee that we will get the shot you like."

Three Stages

  • photographing process
  • image itself
  • the final rendering/publication (e.g. annual report)

Markert Photography services

  • planning
  • scheduling
  • transport

Within 24 hours after the shoot, there will be a private web link pointing to a photo gallery created just for you with all the headshots. The gallery will have low-resolution images for you to make your selections. Once we have your selections, the final images will be processed into high-resolution files, color corrected, and retouched in Photoshop.

"Our home building/remodeling company has been using Markert Photo, Inc. for three years to handle portraits, lifestyle and architectural photographs. Paul Markert has been timely and professional throughout this time for all of our shoots—often suggesting creative alternatives for staging and shooting to capture the look we desire. We are regularly impressed with the work Paul does on the set and on his computer using Photoshop to ensure truly gorgeous results. Since using Paul for our photography, our company projects have been reguarly featured in high profile magazines.
We have worked with many photographers over the past 20 years and none of them come close to Paul; he has incredible skill and the ability to make homeowners (and models) very comfortable during shoots. We now use Paul Markert exclusively for all company photos and consider him an indispensible part of our business—we couldn't do our work without him. We recommend him with the highest praise."
