Historical Photography

– Old Fort Niagara –
All photos: L A Promotional Design & Photography






I spent one season as a Tour Guide at Fort Niagara.  It was fun, I met a lot of great people, and learned all the interesting things I never paid attention to in History classes!

The best part of the day was arriving early before the crowds, walking over the draw bridge and through the south Redoubt onto the old battle field.  I swear the sun shines in that corner of Youngstown every day without fail.  
I would stand for a while, alone, overwhelmed by the peaceful silence, the warmth, and sparkling Lake Ontario on both sides of the French castle.  Back to reality when I thought of how loud and bloody it actually was 300 years ago, and the number of American, British, French and Iroquois lives that were lost in and around the area of the Fort, while fighting their "gentlemen's war"!

In recent days, there have been some great events held there, one of my favorites being "The Haunting" in the month of October.  Very dark, lots of scary stories, and I have actually seen photos taken by other Guides that contain unexplained ghoslty images... really!

Product Shots / Packaging

– Not Pretty, Just Useful –
All photos and graphics: L A Promotional Design & Photography


Box sleeve, packaging design for store shelves:  it is my job to make my clients exude professionalism!



High quality product shots.

They aren't exactly pretty, I wouldn't frame them for my wall, but they are really well done and a vital tool for brisk sales!
It's most important to have the proper lighting, depth of field and perspective... I am an expert in all areas.
(Yes, I am patting myself on the back)

The Roving Photographer

– Toshiba Meeting / Dinner Party –
All photographs: L A Promotional Design & Photography















I have been given a number of great opportunities to refine my art of stealthy photography, discreetly roaming 
through crowds of executives or party-ers to get the best shots.  
How impressive to have hired your very own professional photographer for major functions!
It not only preserves the memories, but is also a thoughtful way to thank your participants.
