Convocation Approaching ~ Schedule Your Grad Portrait

Portrait photo sessions are still available for both Cornell and Ithaca College graduation ceremonies! We carefully select and blur a background that frames your graduate, coach them on a variety of poses, and leave you with a gorgeous retouched image to commemorate this momentous accomplishment. With family and friend photos included as well, an iPhone truly cannot replace a professional photographer.

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.

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.

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.

Autumn Aerial Season is Here!

Fall is in full bloom and it's not too late for Jon Reis Photography to capture your commercial or residential property surrounded by autumn foliage. Commissioned to advertise Fingerlakes wineries, this quintessential aerial view photograph enticed numerous visitors to enjoy vineyards of the area.

Fall is Our Favorite Color ~ Schedule Your Holiday Family Portraits

Don't let the Central NY weather keep you from celebrating this holiday season with a family portrait from Jon Reis Photography. Cornell's Robinson Herb Garden was the perfect backdrop for the family behind Significant Elements - an Ithaca-based, non-profit, architectural salvage warehouse. At our studio or on location in the illustrious fall foliage, we will balance lighting and composition to make your whole family look great.

Finger Lakes Wine Festival 2016 - from Above!

It was a successful weekend at the Finger Lakes Wine Festival this year, and we've got aerials to prove it! Vendors from all over the region gathered together at Watkins Glen International, while we flew over the event capturing views from above. For a unique marketing angle or dynamic documentation, aerial photography can be a great tool for advertising an event, industrial site, or architectural project.

Business Development in Upstate New York

Professional photography can bring your small business to the next level. In photographing the Advion Plate Express, we maneuvered lighting, composition, perspective, and arrangement to feature its most important and attractive qualities in high resolution. Jon Reis has been a prominent photographer in the Ithaca community for over 30 years and therefore knows what it takes to make the photographs for your local business a success.

Getting your Property Ready for Market

Real-estate listings can benefit significantly from professional photography by allowing your potential buyer to fall in love before setting foot in the home. By utilizing the High Dynamic Range technique, we captured proper exposures and employed editing techniques to create a realistic look of this lakefront view. Without HDR, this photograph would have suffered from blown-out white windows or a dark, unreadable interior space. Through the use of various professional practices, Jon Reis Photography will spotlight your home's advantageous attributes to separate your property from the rest.
