Silver Image Gone Green

2009-06-26T10:57:00.000-07:00

Being kind to the environment has always been a priority for Silver Image Studios. When our company was young, we did the small thing like recycling bottles, not printing emails, and only buying recycled paper. As our company grows, so does our need to be eco-friendly in as many ways as possible. Since the beginning of 2009, we have offered our clients an array of eco-conscious product and recycled paper options. We began our eco-transition with our 10% Total Recovered Fiber recycled paper that remains gentle on the earth while still observing the Silver Image promise of timely service and low price. Catalogs, brochures, displays, and large scale banners are all now available on high grade recycled paper and post consumer content products.

As we take greater steps to reduce our carbon footprint, we have taken on the challenge to be green not only in production but even in daily activities around the office. We have diminished our use of styrofoam and excessive individual bottled beverages, and now we are extending our mission on to our clients. Pima Apparel was one of our first clients to have a catalog printed on recycled paper, and they were thrilled with the result as it supported their own companies green ideals.

For more information on being green in your future campaigns please send us a message!

Day-to-Day...What's your personal style?

2009-05-05T09:54:00.000-07:00

by: A. Sebastian Taheri

President / Photographer

We often get questions about how to build personal style since Silver Image Studios and our team does wardrobe styling for photo shoots. And the truth is we always have a different answer. Personal style is like a fingerprint, unique to everyone made up of complex patterns always leading to different lines.

The ultimate goal of our shoots is to make people look confident in what they wear, because more often than not confidence and the portrayal of strength is more important than color, or print or even price. There are several things which are better shown in the form of photography than of words and we let those things reflect in every photo shoot we take. Our consistent message is OWN IT!

Those being said, choose style that speaks to your personality. Choose pieces in colors that catch your eye, and that compliment your skin tone, put a little bit of thought into it. Every time you wear it you'll know you look good, and that feeling will be outwardly evident. A $5000 suit might look good, but if you feel like it owns you, then you’re just the hanger carrying it around. You never want to look uncomfortable in what you’re wearing.

Whether you are a colorful print ties or simple white tee kinda guy, know how to make a part of your character come through. It’s just a matter of imagining yourself in the front cover of a famous fashion catalog, well, if that means wearing a signature belt, switching up different watches or finding cologne that gets pheromones flowing, do it! As with all things, if first you don’t succeed, try again. Most guys don’t put enough time into developing their personal style, but yes, it does matter, and no, it’s not as much of task as it sounds. So keep your eyes open and your mind too, you never know when and where you'll find some style.

The Silver Image Studios Team is here to help! Send us your questions, Well help you put together a look that works for you.

Phase One P45 plus Detailed Image Quality

2009-04-30T16:01:00.000-07:00

Superb performance under lighting conditions, this feature is the main reason why professional photographers preferred using medium format cameras.

Among other medium format cameras, Phase One P45 plus camera presents a remarkable feature in design and functionality.

Phase One P45+ features a very high resolution medium-format CCD with a remarkable 39.45 megapixel plus a 15-bit A/D converter providing a clear, crispy, and well-detailed photo capture. It shows an excellent dynamic range and it also provides very good color sensitivity. Even though new medium format backs are into its release today, the Phase One P45+ RAW image quality performance remains quite good and as a matter of fact its high resolution capability keeps this camera among the few options available for very large size and high-quality professional print photography.

The above photo was taken by Silver Image Studios Sebastian Taheri using his Phase One P45+ medium format camera. The photo was intended for his client Tiglio; a fashion coterie specializing in men’s suit. Taheri together with his Los Angeles-based Silver Image Studios is after the clarity and the details of every shoot, considering that they are dealing with fashion. They need to vitrine the outstanding features of the fashion wear and show it on prints.

They can use some other medium format backs but why did they prefer to use a Phase One P45+ camera instead? Comparing it to its predecessor, and other MF backs, images captured on it is somewhat “crispier” and with greater resolution.
