My Story

Bay Area photographer Cherie Cordellos is a graduate of the former Brooks Institute of Photography, one of the only national level university programs to offer a full Bachelor of Arts degree in photographic sciences.

After graduation she interned at two top Bay Area Photographic studios, where she practiced her craft both behind the lens and in the darkroom.
 
In 1999 she started her own business. She was a contract photographer with the Iris Group and provided architectural photography for some of the most impressive Peninsula homes. Photos that were used in real estate brochures and advertising. Her format was square and her camera of choice was the Hasselblad, and she used film so she had to learn to ‘get the lighting right’ the first time. Her business was mobile and she set up and lit each property taking advantage and mastering all sorts of light from early morning to dramatic night images.
 

In 2007 she transitioned from film to digital and continued to grow her client base. Photography has experienced some of the most innovative technologies, so continuing education is a must in this industry. Cherie attends training sessions that keep her up-to-date on the latest improvements in software and camera equipment. It is important to understand that photography no longer ends with the image that is captured by the lens. It is about controlling the light and equally important to prepare accurate digital files for seamless use across multiple platforms: from print to web-site to social media uses. This is an on-going process. For your next project, consider putting her experience to work for you. Remember the old adage “A picture is worth a thousand words”!
