Could not have been happier with the final product. Stefan's photos show cohesion with superb lighting. His photos paint a story and that's exactly what I was looking for. He knows which angle to take the shot, and makes sure each photo compliments its space. The price is very competitive and his professionalism is much appreciated. I highly recommend.
Product Photography in Sacramento
Product photography for ecommerce, marketplace, and editorial for Sacramento and Sacramento County listings, brands, and projects.
Sacramento, Sacramento County
Why Sacramento listings need product photography done right.
Sacramento's DTC and CPG brand scene is smaller than the Bay Area but growing, and STEFDPHOTO handles brands at every scale. White-background ecommerce, lifestyle and contextual product imagery for brand websites, and full editorial campaigns with creative direction. STEFDPHOTO's product workflow runs at a controlled-light location for white-background and at location for lifestyle, with the same color pipeline as STEFDPHOTO's commercial photography work.
Sacramento County
The Sacramento coverage map.
The valley floor sun is hard. East Sacramento canopies create heavy shade contrast that punishes a single-flash workflow. Tule fog rolls in from late autumn through late winter and frequently kills exterior windows in the morning hours. Twilight scheduling is calendar-driven around the actual sunset window.

The work, in Sacramento
How STEFDPHOTO shoots Sacramento.
The Sacramento workflow is built around three constants. First, listings move fast inside the I-5/I-80 loop, which means turnaround needs to be measured in hours, not days, on volume listings. Standard delivery is 36 hours. Second, every shoot includes a flash-and-HDR composite workflow because Sacramento's exterior light and indoor incandescent fixtures pull color in opposite directions. Third, twilight is on the menu year-round because Sacramento's sky has more usable color than people realize, particularly the high cirrus afternoons in late spring and early fall.

The work earns repeat business.
What a breath of fresh air Stefan is! A true professional. Always on time, seems to go anywhere I need him to, and always makes the homes he photographs for me look amazing. Started out using him for headshots, but now I will utilize his services for everything. You owe it to yourself to check him out. You will not be disappointed.
We've been using Stefan exclusively for a long time now. He's punctual, reasonably priced and the quality of his photographs are outstanding. We specialize in homes on acreage and homes with views and he's always able to capture the essence of these special properties. Our clients love his work and the results speak for themselves with hundreds of sold homes.
Working with Stefan is always a pleasure from start to finish. I cannot say enough good things. Communication from the beginning, to timeliness, not to mention fitting me in literally whenever I need him. He says 24 hour turnaround but often I have my photos back sooner, which means everything when putting up a listing. His photos are always edited so nicely and my clients have had so many good things to say about his photos and videos. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.
Stefan is an amazing photographer. Not only does he make every project look high end but he is also very kind and professional. I had a home I remodeled featured in a prominent publication and I know the only reason is because of the amazing photos he took.
Stefan does an excellent job with his photography. I can always count on him to produce beautiful, bright, artistic shots. He is reliable, well priced, and fun to work with.
