Bryan Linden and Linden Photography would like to thank you for taking the
time to read the following information. It is my wish to provide you with information

at any time by clicking here.
I've been capturing digitally since 1993 a full decade before most photographers.
During that time I've developed a workflow that allows me to be very efficient
and offer services that are unmatched by most other photographers. In addition
to my capture abilities, I'm also a sought after color consultant that knows
how to get accurate color every time and with my print on demand services can
show in print almost instantly what a particular lighting setup will look like.
I have an extensive background in marketing, sales and traditional offset printing.
Prior to launching my business full time 4 years ago I spent 10 years as Vice
President of Marketing and Sales for an Orange County High-Tech firm overseeing
sales from 7 to 50 million over a period of 2 years and it's this background
that's enabled me to work with highly sought after clients such as: Apple Computer,
Nike, Clear Channel Radio, Frederick's of Hollywood, Silicon Graphics, IBM,
Compaq, Cisco and many more.
Retouching is a service that I can also provide and my skills in Photoshop are
rare for a photographer. Most photographers hand off retouching projects, but
I find that I can achieve the vision of my clients and myself best by controlling
the look of an image from start to finish. I'm a regular presenter on color
management and Photoshop at photography industry conventions and workshops.
Some events I've presented at include: Photoshop World, Professional Photographers
of America National Conferences, Apple Stores, Photo Plus Expo NY, MacWorld,
Workshops for Shutterbug/e-Digital Photo/Peterson's Photographic and more.
This represents my initial push for more work in the film industry and therefore
my portfolio of productions is limited, however I spent much of my youth on
sets and my biggest early project was assisting and shooting Eco Challenge,
New Zealand for over a month. The shoot required covering athlete's as they
trekked across some of the roughest and most dangerous terrain that New Zealand
has to offer. I'm glad to say all went off without a hitch and immediately upon
my return I began shooting for Clear Channel and Los Angeles Sports & Fitness
Magazine. My company currently handles major projects for Clear Channel including
Billboard Photography, Headshots, and Event Photography with single person coverage
on up to 7 photographers that I provide all trained in my techniques and workflow
for a very consistent product. With respect to LA Sports & Fitness Magazine,
I was their primary photographer and shot several covers, feature stories and
celebrity workout articles for the magazine and am very proud that in it's initial
year of publication LAS&F garnered a national "Maggie" award for
best new publication out of over 400 publications. During that time I was the
only LAS&F photographer to submit covers and had done most of the features
as well.
As far as my equipment goes I'm constantly upgrading so that I can offer my
clients the best quality images possible. I can make equipment decisions that
are more informed than most as I am a regular writing contributor to Professional
Photographer Magazine and also produce iBryan
The Digital Guy podcasts which gives me hands on access and influence regarding
upcoming technology and camera equipment so I'm always on the cutting edge.
I'm equally at home in my Santa Clarita photography studio as I am on location
and am passionate about what I do. I only accept jobs that I will enjoy, however
I enjoy almost anything. My attitude is professional yet always upbeat and people
I work with generally become long term clients as I'm not happy unless I've
exceeded client expectations. My images have appeared in numerous publications
including but not limited to: LA Sports & Fitness, USA Today, America Online,
VH1, MTV, E! Online, Sunday Times Magazine, Women's Wear Daily, Cosmopolitan,
LA Times, Celebrity Hairstyles, In-Touch, Saturday Night Live, almost any music
publication, Teen People, Warner Bros. International Television, Life Story,
Twist Magazine.
I don't shoot paparazzi, never have and never will. All people I shoot are willing
subjects and I don't shoot images that show my subjects doing things that are
inappropriate. I am an excellent candid photographer but don't believe in being
invasive. My subjects therefore appreciate what I do and quickly develop trust
in my skills and abilities. Often times I get my subjects to open up more than
they do for others and I'm also granted exclusives because of this trust.
If you've read this far then hopefully you can tell that I'm ready to take on
the entertainment industry and I'm always ready to put my money where my mouth
is. To prove it please call me on my cell at (818) 679-4438 and arrange for
a free consultation with me. As a thank you for reading this information and
that in the Santa Clarita Film Guide, I'm happy to offer a 20% discount on my
services for our initial project and I look forward to making many long lasting
working relationships. To recieve your discount, mention you heard about Linden
Photography in the Santa Clarita Film Guide.
Cheers,
Bryan Linden
