Digital Photography, Traditional Photography and Cincinnati Photographers

Whether a Graphic Designer as Photographer is located in Cincinnati, Ohio U.S.A. or anywhere else in the world, a designer is a designer no matter what they are designing. The principles of design -- whether it's graphic design, web design, book design, logo design, photography, or any other type of design -- are basically the same -- only the medium changes from graphics print or web, interiors, photography, architecture, etc.

A person educated in the aspects of good design can function as a photographer, graphic designer, web designer, book designer, logo designer, or any other type of designer, as long as they have had a valuable background and education in design. I'm not refering to a two year, trade school course. I'm speaking of a university degree.

As university educated photographer and graphic designers, we know the value of being educated problem solvers. A designer as photographer, especially a graphic designer, is just that, an educated problem solver. They take their knowledge of the principles of design and photography and combine it with their ability to learn new information, whether it is about a client's process or product, or new aspcets of the different mediums in which they work.

Then the graphic designer as photographer must take that knowledge and apply it. They must next learn what it is their client needs to communicate -- what problem they need to solve. Is it a new product introduction into an existing market or a new market, a new service they are providing to a new market or existing customers? Is the photography best done as table top work or on location, etc.?

A university education in graphic design and photography includes the learning of how best to effect communication. As a Cincinnati Graphic Design firm since 1970, we have spent much time learning how best to communicate our clients' messages in the Cincinnati area. That same experience can be applied to companies anywhere in the world with our understanding that different cultures view things in different ways and they must be addressed, ie. colors, numbers, images, phrases, etc.

As Cincinnati Photographers and Cincinnati Graphic Designers, the internet has given us a world wide market. As Cincinnati Photographers and Cincinnati Graphic Designers, we are no longer restricted to graphic design, web design, book design, or logo design just in the Cincinnati area.
