Daniel contacted us with an urgent need for a new corporate photo. Luckily we had an opening and he was in our studio the next day. Due to a very tight deadline we had to also provide proofing and finished product in as little time as possible. We use an online proofing solution; Daniel was able to select his favorite images from the shoot and we provided some minimal retouching to enhance the images. In just 2 days we had a finished portrait that Daniel was very happy with.

We want to congratulate Daniel M. Stekol on his new position at IRWA and wish him the very best in all he accomplishes.
