Alaska Assignment Photography by Patrick J. Endres

Photographer Patrick J. Endres has spent 23 years working, guiding, trekking and photographing throughout Alaska’s vast landscape, establishing logistics and experience that contribute to productive assignment photography.

Digital Specialist Andrew Johnson works together with Patrick to capture and deliver clients creative, quality imagery. They photograph with high end professional digital cameras backed by a complete digital studio tuned to today’s demanding needs of rapid image acquisition and transmission.

On Assignment

We strive to work creatively and efficiently and embrace all the virtues of capturing images in RAW mode, since it provides maximum quality and flexibility across a broad spectrum of lighting situations. On location, whether it is corporate, commercial, or editorial, we create, add, and balance light as needed to get our clients the “look and style” they seek.

In Our Digital Studio

The ever-evolving world of digital imagery requires a contemporary outlook, one that provides skill not only behind the camera, but behind the keyboard as well. Our digital studio is equipped with fast computer workstations, color calibrated monitors, file backup protocol, and competent staff to manage it all. All images that leave our office are closely scrutinized and digitally “graded” a term we borrowed from the movie industry. Grading seeks to bring the image into its perfected “film type” balanced for color and tonality.

After the Shoot

Keeping cost and efficiency in mind, our typical client protocol workflow following a client shoot is as follows:

  • Perform a light edit removing only obvious outtakes and test shots
  • Post a web gallery and online link where images may be viewed by all parties involved in a review process.
  • Additional link to download 1000px comp images if local, offline viewing is preferred
  • Client reviews images and makes a selection
  • Raw conversion, color balancing and any necessary adjustments and image perfections are performed only on this selection to save post-production costs
  • Client may choose additional images at a later time if necessary
  • CD/DVD and contact sheet of this selection is delivered to client
  • Upon request, files can be posted for download to meet critical deadlines
  • Your files are also stored in our archives for safekeeping
