See how professional retouching transforms a studio headshot from RAW file to finished portrait. Columbus photographer Harry Acosta walks through the full post-production process on a real client image.
An event is a moment in time. What you do with that moment — how you document it, distribute it, and extend its reach long after the last guest leaves — determines whether it lives on or disappears. After a decade behind the lens in Columbus, I've built my event coverage around one principle: the work doesn't end when the event does.
It is easy to get overwhelmed with all that goes into a wedding. Fortunately, the right pro will be able to provide professional services that include more than their expertise. I try to offer all the advice I can for couples leading up to the big day. Booking with me includes a 24-hour open line. Text me at 3am if you can’t sleep; run ideas past me; keep me updated on the latest moving part of your wedding day.
Professional commercial lifestyle photography is more than just pictures—it’s about telling a story. For retirement communities, that story includes active living, strong community ties, exceptional services, and comfort. That’s exactly what we set out to capture, using a strategic mix of real-life settings, paid models (talent), and authentic moments.

How do you review the performance with only one song? They escort you out of the building to secure your camera gear in your car before coming back in to watch the show. I’m just not going to drive 25 minutes to pay $10 - $20 in parking to photograph one song, and risk having 10k in gear stolen out of my car in order to write a concert review (without pay) to support an artist who does not want me there.
I often tell clients that come in for portrait and headshot photography, it does not matter what they wear as long as it makes them feel comfortable. It will show in their facial features and create the best imagery possible. I realize, the same holds true for me. If I have it in the back of my mind that I should be doing some other photography rather than the assignment in front of me, I’m not going to get the best imagery possible either.
From time to time, I like to display galleries, so other clients know exactly what to expect from their session. I always shoot a little dark to ensure that when editing in post-production, all pixels have information that can be edited. This is the end result of a professional photography session at the best floral park locations in the Columbus area taken earlier this month in Columbus, OH.
Over the past 2 years, for one of my clients, I have been the event photographer for more than 20 events. When I first worked these events for them, they used to tell me what to expect at the event and I was given direction on what they’re hoping to capture. They would request I show up a little early and maybe even give me a little direction as to how to get the shots.
It is similar to wedding photography or event photography, but with some limitations. With wedding photography, you should be allowed to capture everyone at the ceremony and reception in the moment. With this type of photography you’re only allowed to capture the likeness of people if they agree to signing a waiver.
