I’m a little laps in my blogging.  Here are a couple of images I recently did. Lisa McGann was the stylist on this project. These are going to be used for product packaging. Next week I’ll have some images from a recent trip up to the north shore of Minnesota. the weather was beautiful. and the images aren’t bad ether.

I’ll have more time next week for blogging.This week just got past me.

I was at a ASMP meeting last week and saw a photographic technique that I just fell in love with.  This week I had a chance to try it out.  With out giving to much away, there is no Photoshop work done to these images. It all in the camera.  I may try more of this in the up coming month.  I was also thinking that it might be a great little show at the new Public Library.

Its been a lot of work … but its coming together.  Yea. I have posted the e-mailer that went out this week.

if you cant see it  here’s a link to it

I think this will  be our best so far.  One the reasons is were not just promoting BDI and QTP. but helping the hole creative community of Central Minnesota get thru some tough times.  I am so blessed to work with some many creatives that I think anything I can do to help them I will.

May 14th is the day set for the Butkowski Digital Imaging Open house. (Wing Ding ’09) There will be lots of chicken wings, refreshments, and fun.  This year the local AdFed club is joining us for the celebration.

The open house will be 11 to 2pm and then Adfed is having Keith Gilbert of Gilbert consulting to give a seminar on Adobe in design. Later there will be a panel discussion on the state of the creative industry.

It will be one full day.But for now it’s a lot of work.

Next week  I’ll be shooting some soup images. I’ll post them up later next week.

But here’s one for you to look at now.

Trying to brand a company is not a easy thing.  I’m trying to get the name Butkowski Digital Imaging, and great food photography together.  You need a consistent look in all of your communications. Your website email, portfolio. Anything that some one will associate you and your company with. I recently received a thank you note from Rachel of Impressions. She is a wonderful food stylist, I just completed a project with. On the envelope she addressed it To Louder than Words. This is not the name of my Company, it’s the Tag-line I use. It got me thinking, Is my message and my brand getting confused.

I may need to rethink were and how I use the tag line.
