There are elements of advertising imagery that sets it apart from simple “point and shoot” photography. Photos shot for promotional use have to be composed differently, and colors, contrast, focus and image quality must be precisely controlled to ensure proper reproduction on a high-end printing press. Images destined for digital projects or oversize tradeshow graphics pose a completely different set of resolution and color challenges.
Our staff photographer, Dan Pimentel has been shooting professionally since 1980 when he began a career as a photojournalist. Dan learned the craft of digital imaging at San Francisco's Graphic Arts Institute, and also studied with digital photography pioneer Stephen Johnson.
"I've always been very impressed with Dan's sense of composition," said CDAD owner Julie Celeste. "He can shoot just about anything and make it look absolutely beautiful. And in the case of photography for specific advertising usage, proper composition is essential."

"I wouldn't think of having anyone else photograph our resort than Dan at Celeste/Daniels. It makes perfect sense too, because as the agency's Art Director as well as photographer, Dan can shoot a job already knowing what he needs to make the project come alive. I love his work his images just POP off the page!"
