Photo Restoration: A Meaningful Gift this Holiday

Gift-giving season is upon us - and this year we're not presenting our loved ones with another scarf or dust-gathering trinket. Instead, cherished old photos can be a great gift when restored to their original beauty. Using our high-quality restoration software and technique, we can re-construct lost sections from tears or scratches and colorize faded tones to bring your damaged photos back to life.

We keep photos because they are meaningful to us; to remind us of a beloved time or show us a past era we weren't around for. This holiday, a revitalized digital copy or print of your treasured image can be a new way to connect with family past and present.

Window Lighting for your Listing

If it's one thing photographers and home-buyers have in common, it is attention to window light. When properly exposed with sun pouring through, any room can exude the vibrant, comforting sensation that potential buyers are searching for.

Check out our living space photography samples to catch a glimpse of how your property could compete on the real-estate market.

Catching the Bloom: Spring is Aerial Season!

This aerial view of Ithaca College and Cayuga Lake was captured on a beautiful day in May 2015. Typically, we like to shoot aerial projects during May and June to ensure the greenery has returned after a harsh New York winter. Photos from above have an unrivaled ethereal quality and can therefore provide an aesthetic focal point to your company imagery in print and web publications.

Toast to the Graduate! ~Cornell/IC Sessions Available

Graduation season across Central New York is nearly upon us - including ceremonies for our neighboring Cornell University and Ithaca College. Contact Jon Reis Photography to reserve your commencement portrait session on the big day - you earned it!

Why Your Social Media Presence Matters

Utilizing your social media presence on sites like LinkedIn and Facebook can signal your contemporary professionalism and receptivity to network building. We offer in-studio portraits with an array of background options as well as alternative locations and outdoor scenes to suit your interests.

Get the Glow: Lighting Building Exteriors at Dusk

Photographing exteriors at dusk provides an opportunity to bring a building to life with color and contrast. In this image, the Cayuga Medical Center becomes a warm sanctuary, inviting patients into a comfortable atmosphere. Not to mention, the addition of a tranquil water-side reflection works only to further this impression.

Wedding Photography Fun

Jon Reis Photography is no stranger to unconventional posing - from libraries to climbing walls! We enjoy accommodating each couple's unique whims on their special day in addition to more traditional wedding ceremony and reception photos.

Take a look at our wedding photography samples and let us know how we can best document your momentous occasion.

Your Production Location is Here: Rent our Studio!

Located in the center of Downtown Ithaca, the Jon Reis Photography studio is equipped to meet the needs of your visual project. Here, a high school student's fashion program application was made possible through the use of our seamless backdrop and multi-strobe lighting set-up. We look forward to discussing how our facility can best meet the needs of your photographic or cinematic endeavor.

Aerials for Alternative Energy

Alternative energy technologies are substantial in their contribution to the planet as well as in physical scale. This makes aerials especially beneficial to advertising environmentally conscious advancements like Nextera's solar array located in Hardwick, MA.

Movement through Perspective

Architects pay close attention to the ways in which patrons are guided through a space by means of physical components and visual signifiers. Similarly, photographers must align elements within a frame to guide the eye through an area or facade. These images of PS96 Addition in the Bronx by MDSzerbaty + Associates are a few of many examples in our collection.

Save the Moment with a Surprise Engagement Shoot

        

With the photographer remaining inconspicuous in the distance, this engagement at Ithaca Falls was captured without spoiling the surprise. This couple can now look back on their special moment for years to come, as well as use these images as an announcement on social media or save-the-date cards.

Feb-Mar Studio Business Portrait SPECIAL

As the remainder of winter continues on in Central New York, now is a good time to knock 'new portrait' off your to-do list. This is especially true because today begins our two-month portrait special: $50.00 off our standard session price.


A professional headshot can be used on company websites, print publications, and social media networks like LinkedIn and Facebook. We'll work together to make sure your portrait reflects your character - personable, experienced, and passionate about what you do.

Passport Photography: Get it Right the First Time

Canadian and other foreign passports, visas, and immigration application photos demand strict adherence to government-regulated specifications. Establishments that take U.S. passport photos are often unable to meet other countries' individual requirements - including balanced lighting, frame ratio, head size, and specified background. At Jon Reis Photography, we guarantee a successful portrait based on your particular needs.

A Comprehensive Product View

Accurate coloring, texture, and shape is key to showing off the brilliant craft of Wendy Ives Felt Art. With a proper studio set-up and post-production retouching, Jon Reis Photography faithfully displays this silhouetted, eight-foot-long art piece with no surrounding distraction.

Architecture in Context

We find it fitting that the Cornell Lab of Ornithology be photographed within its surrounding environment. Jon Reis Photography jumped in a rowboat to get this shot with the building exterior reflected and greenery framing the building.
