So, Why Should You Choose Eric Ilasenko
Photo/Digital
To Be Your Photographer?
Please, Check out Our Philosophy on Dance
Portraits below...
Our Primary Goal is to
make your "picture day" with Eric Ilasenko Photo a fun, stress free, and
rewarding time for everyone involved including the dancers, parents, teachers,
studio staff, and the studio owner, while producing excellent photographs people
will treasure for years to come.
Coming from a family of dance pros who ran a
dance business, and having over 25 years of professional experience
photographing dancers and children, Photographer Eric Ilasenko wants to put his
unique knowledge and skills to work helping you plan a great picture day for
your studio that will have parents actually looking forward to next years
picture day and asking the studio staff to be sure they're getting THAT same
photographer back again!
Using just a little pre-planning and
preparation ahead of time, your photo day can run smoother than ever as Eric
applies special techniques and systems adapted from the years he spent
photographing hundreds of school children daily to your dance photo day. His
extensive experience with dancers (and parents!) of all ages coupled with his
artistic eye and humorous, laid back style helps assure that each portrait day
runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. We strive to be sure that everyone
enjoys the experience of being photographed, feels positive about themselves
afterwards, and that they all end up with great looking portraits when all is
said and done...
Our high tech portrait studio is completely
portable and can be set up in under two hours in almost any clear room with an
open space of about 22'x16', fitting perfectly in the average dance studio room
or even in a side room during a dress rehearsal at the recital hall.
Parents no longer have to endure getting their dancer dolled up and kept clean
while trekking down to a photo studio way across town only to be hit with
outrageous sitting fees and print prices for your photographs. No lousy dime
store head and shoulders only snapshots on cheap photo paper that fades in a
matter of months like you get at some discount stores. Instead, we take top
notch, full length dancer portraits that showcase the dancer and the costume and
we use only the best in processing and printing for best quality - and we do it
all on location where it is convenient to the dancer and parent!
Our main and most popular product is our high
quality individual portraits of dancers, done conveniently right at your
specific location with our high tech studio equipment making our portraits look
the same as if you had come to a photo studio for a private portrait sitting to
have them done. We use only the highest grades of professional cameras, lenses,
lighting, film and paper to assure long lasting images with a high dollar look,
and offer a range of different portrait packages that look great but feature
fair and affordable prices to help ever budget conscious families know they are
getting a high quality product and good value for their dollars spent.
Dancers parents really do appreciate the
ability to get great photographs made of their little stars while they are
already made up with perfect hair, dressed in full costume, and are already at
the dance studio or rehearsal venue anyways. Parents already feel like they are
running a marathon every day with all the craziness that happens leading up to a
recital and by offering them the chance to have special photographic memories
they will treasure for a lifetime done when and where it is convenient for them,
they will really be grateful to the dance studio owner who is thinking of them
and helping make their lives a little easier during a crazy time with one less
thing to worry about and one less place to have to run around to under a
deadline before recital day arrives.
Optionally, we can also offer group photos of each number
performing, capturing a collective memory of the experience shared by all the
dancers in that routine together. Most Group Photos are 5 x 7 sized and
presented in a folder mount for easy display. Offering group photos will
increase the sales average for your studios picture day(s), but depending
on the number of students enrolled and the studio owners own preferences and
time constraints, doing groups is an issue that should be well explored ahead of
time as it does takes a good deal of time and effort to add this service into to
an already jam packed pre-recital schedule and many times it simply takes too
much time and work for many already overloaded studio owners to handle, so they
just stick with individual portraits.
We are currently starting our transition to digital capture
and will be offering many other exciting services and programs in the future
once we get the digital workflow issues worked out "under fire" of real world
use. One planned service we hope to have available within the year is action
candid photographs of dress rehearsals, with an internet album and online print
ordering for the parents convenience. This idea looks very promising and we are
currently working toward eventually taking it "live" to some select customers in
the coming year...
Unlike many of the large "corporate" photo
operations out there, when you deal with Eric Ilasenko Photo/Digital, you are
dealing directly with the owner and sole photographer himself and the other
owner of the company, his wife Martha. You never have to worry that some
mega-studio is sending you some creepy kid with no experience or common sense to
photograph (or scare) your customers. Eric takes all the pictures himself and
Martha usually helps oversee the administrative operations during a shoot.
Together, they work to make sure your customers have a great experience while
being photographed and they project a professional image you will be pleased to
have your customers interact with.
By doing all the photography personally, the
number of studios and events that can be photographed each season is greatly
limited and we are often booked well in advance from long time repeat customers,
some of whom have been using us for over a decade, and who are given
seniority on our first booked, first photographed policy. We could hire other
shooters and expand our business, but we know first had how the "big boys"
operate often in studio photography and just can't stand it with their teams of
slick talking salesmen who promise the moon and then hide when there is a
problem or the poor minimum wage "photographers" who are often barely able to
push a button much less technically create a good portrait. Our sincere desire
is for honest, reliable, friendly service always and to find a few more special
schools where we can deal with like minded folks who appreciate true customer
service and where we can develop long term business relationships and
friendships.
We gladly offer the studio owner a
chance to make extra profits directly for their studio by hosting a picture day,
and studio proceeds from a successful photo day are often enough to cover a good
chunk of hall rental or other outlays from a studios finances that happen around
recital time. Depending on a number of factors, we offer commissions that are
paid directly to the studio based on number of sittings and income generated.
Some studio owners do not care about getting a commission and see picture day
only as a service to parents, in which case we can often offer adjusted prices
to their students as picture prices are often set according to commission
structure.
Since moving to the Daytona area, he is
still looking for the perfect location to open another full time studio, and
hopes to do so in the coming year. Until the new studio is completed, his
photography services are available on location for a wide variety of assignments
and clients in the Central Florida area including Dance Studios, Schools,
Sports, and Events. If you are a dance studio owner
looking for a highly qualified, experienced professional photographer that truly
understands the unique needs of the dance field and can reliably produce images
your dance students and parents will consistently love, give Eric or Martha at
Eric Ilasenko Photo/Digital a call today...
