About
With a keen eye for detail, I bring a wealth of experience to each project to ensure that it achieves the highest level of professionalism and production values. In addition to being highly skilled in digital photography, I also possess over 30 years of videography and video editing experience, boasting proficiency in all Adobe and AVID products. My extensive background includes producing, directing, writing, and operating as an audio and light director for various corporate video productions and over 14 years as a local news videographer and editor.

As someone who values the significance of preserving memories and family history through video, I offer services to digitize old home movies and videos, capture personal statements from family members, and document household belongings for insurance purposes. Furthermore, I can create custom videos to promote a business or a favorite cause, with the capacity to include you in the creative process and ensure that the final product meets your unique vision. Be sure to check out my Linked-In profile and business website to see some examples of my work.

Along with videography, I specialize in transferring physical media such as prints, negatives, slides, video tapes, and motion pictures into digital format, with the option for restoration of damaged prints, negatives, and slides. My prices are reasonable and negotiable, as I offer a per-tape rate of $25 to digitize or $30 to digitize and burn your footage onto a DVD. Additionally, I transfer 8mm and super 8 onto digital at a competitive rate of $35 per 50 feet, $70 per 200 feet on one reel, and $100 for 400 feet on one reel. For prints, slides, and negatives, I charge 90 cents per item, with enhancement costing $40 per hour. Final output is provided with high and low resolution of each image.

I understand that every project is unique and will work with you to design a custom plan that fits your specific needs and budget. Whether you have a larger-scale project or a smaller one, I will provide top-notch service and quality every step of the way. Let's collaborate and bring your vision to life.

Richard was very responsive and efficient! I was impressed with his ability to restore our old family picture and return it to me on the same day. This allowed me to use it as a birthday present for my sister. Thank you, Richard.

Rick displayed utmost professionalism and empathy towards my needs when I approached him to restore my 43-year-old wedding photos that had deteriorated over time. His output was impeccable, and I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking similar restorations.

Richard's service was outstanding. I required a gift on short notice, and he delivered beyond my expectations. I had an outdated VHS tape that he was able to digitize in just a few hours. We arranged to meet at 9 a.m., and he had the video delivered via Dropbox well before noon! I was thoroughly impressed with the excellent job he did. I will undoubtedly use his services again and would strongly recommend him to others.

Upon inquiring Richard, he promptly responded and exhibited a professional and amiable demeanor. I requested a photo shoot at a nearby venue to commemorate my mother and her twin sister's 60th birthdays, and Richard visited the location beforehand to ensure optimal lighting. As I was not present during the shoot, it was crucial to receive feedback from my mother and hear of Richard's graciousness towards her. Lastly, I received stunning digital photos the following day confirming Richard's mastery in photography. I would undoubtedly seek out his services again for any future photography needs.
