I am entering a new career in Real estate. I am also a professional photographer, but I needed a professional photo of myself. I didn't want a "selfie". I needed an image that captured my personality to be used in my marketing campaign. I contracted Allan Sturm, owner of LoveSmack Studios in Tucson to help me accomplish this. Upon arrival I was BLOWN AWAY by the design, vibe and feel of the studio. He immediately got to work by taking test shots. As a pro myself I know what he was doing. People with darker skin tone offer a unique lighting challenge - he was getting his colors right. I came with my own professional staff who offered help in direction. This would have driven me crazy if I was the one behind the camera. He took it in stride and we all worked as a team. The end result is I ended up leaving with exactly what i was looking for and more. This was accomplished in less than 30 minutes. I am a very busy businessman, yet I drove 6.5 hours to his studio from Palm Springs, California and back. When I need expert photography done in an amazing environment I'd do it again without hesitation.
