Venable LLP We celebrate their first year as our client


We Celebrate Venable Law Firm based in Washington DC as their one year anniversary of being our client approaches. Venable specializes in bankruptcy, investment management and intellectual property law.

  They where referred to Westside Studio by one of our corporate law clients. They contacted us and required a Proposal Statement to satisfy their corporate photography needs. We responded with a 20 page proposal including our qualifications,examples of our corporate photography, Client list, references, description of our studio, statement of confidential assurance and a proposal of costs. This request was unusual for this type of job, but we were happy to comply. Thankfully the relationship has worked out very well for both of us.

   Our first job for them was for two days photographing 25 attorneys per day. We have been back twice since. When they have a new hire to be photographed they send them to our studio in Beverly Hills. We photograph the attorney with a plain background and then replace the background with the view out their office window. Which will match the images I have already taken at their offices. The photograph of Dan Chammas pictured above was done in this manner. Thank you for the work Venable Law Firm.
