The 9 Best Commercial Photographers in Fresno, CA

Fresno and Central Valley residents know that finding a talented photographer can be difficult, with all of the talent out there waiting to be discovered. That’s why we’ve curated this list of the top 9 Fresno commercial photographers to partner up with. Whether you’re looking for studio portraits, corporate headshots, food photography, or something more, these creatives have something to offer most commercial clients!

1. Marie Jacques-DeLeon

Are you looking for a Central Valley and Fresno commercial photographer who seeks to create art during each collaboration? Then we want to introduce you to the work of Marie Jacques-DeLeon! The way she composes and uses light offers a deeper look at her subjects, be they people, products, interior spaces, or something more. Marie’s sensitivity to light, reflections, color, and composition elevates her work to artistry over merely representational commercial photography. And the way she consistently uses toned-down color grading and well-recovered shadows and highlights gives her portfolio strong personal vision consistency.

2. Lomeli Images

Karina and Omar are the photographer couple behind Lomeli Images. We love seeing partnered photographers because they often share a consistent vision informed by their marriage, most evident in their photojournalistic wedding style. However, they are also talented commercial photographers focused on the portrait, food, beverage, model, senior, and fashion spheres. Lomeli Images is fond of dramatic lighting conditions where backlighting results in stunning silhouettes, and lens flare provides a tasteful addition to the portrait scene. And when working with culinary clients, we are treated to their preference for macro-level views. Rich colors provide hints of flavors to be expected, and the close working distances highlight crunchy textures, notes of moisture, and other important sensory details.

3. Stephan Alvin

Stephan Alvin is a Fresno commercial photographer whose portfolio is a deep dive into the worlds of real estate, product, agriculture, hospitality, and interior design. His work reminds us of what makes California special in his collaborations with Central Valley wineries, realtors, and fine dining establishments. Stephan favors a more subdued style of interior space presentation that’s far more natural than the intense HDR output favored by many other photographers. His real estate images also use lines and interior shapes in a fine art fashion, guiding the eye around the frame to points of interest in a highly intentional manner.

4. La Bella Vita Photography

La Bella Vita Photography is the collaborative effort of Fresno commercial photographers and their studio manager. They provide real estate, hospitality, portrait, branding, and lifestyle images for local businesses and individuals that are diverse in scope, thanks to the differing visions of each photographer. La Bella Vita offers in-studio flash portraits. High fashion inspired work, outdoor lifestyle photography, expansive real estate images … The collective strengths of the photographers are highly complementary to one another.

5. Kevin Rees

Central Valley realtors and homeowners know that Kevin Rees is the commercial photographer to turn to when showcasing a space to the best effect. That often means using not only still images but video presentations that use aerial drone footage to give complete tours of the grounds of California villas. Kevin’s interior shots are composed of natural perspectives while still highlighting the beauty of the space through leading lines and attention to furniture and other design elements. Contrast and colors remain subtle to present each space better as our eyes would see it. This approach also prevents hues from becoming too distracting from the architectural elements of a residential or commercial building.

6. Mauricio Tapia

Mauricio Tapia favors a cinematic approach in his commercial videography that’s often carried over right into his traditional photography. He favors cinematic color grading, with subdued colors and expanded tonality. This pairs nicely with his documentary, medical, and industrial projects, where color takes a back seat to content and composition. And if you’re looking for footage as well, Mauricio is an expert in creating commercials, short films, and music videos. He also has an intensive background as an editor, colorist, and cinematographer with partners in Santiago, Chile, and Los Angeles, CA.

7. Sydney Brown

Sydney Brown’s commercial photography’s vibrant contrast and tonality are well worth getting to know better. Few Fresno commercial photographers share their expertise in using light, shadow, texture, color, and other elements in such intentional ways. Directional lighting plays a strong role in his portfolio, which we love seeing because he uses it to create stories, add mood, or highlight particular elements within the frame. And being Fresno, abundant California sunshine is precisely what we expect to see in a real estate, food, or product presentation! And speaking of real estate, Sydney’s eye for including normal fields of view gives his work a dynamic quality that differentiates him from other real estate shooters who stick to wide-angle views alone.

8. Q Studio Fresno

Memories of once-in-a-lifetime moments are what Q Studio Fresno seeks to showcase for residents. Graduations, quinceaneras, weddings, and other life milestones are their specialty, and they work both on location and in-studio to capture these moments. We especially love their approach to in-studio commercial portraiture, using strong vignettes and matte backgrounds for that classic fine art portrait approach. Their work celebrates emotions like connection, celebration, and intimacy, and their photos belong printed and placed on a wall or photo album.

9. Luther Riddle

Luther Riddle of Riddle Studios is the commercial photographer to turn to when you have a fantasy theme that others can’t quite bring to life. His work includes cosplay and costumes invoking Star Wars, Edward Scissorhands, creepy clowns, zombies, and other cultural references that demand to be acted out in full! Horror portraits are something few photographers specialize in, after all. And his use of precisely the right lighting for a scene sets the mood, be it gel studio ambient light, outdoor natural light, or something else.
