“We had a fantastic experience working with Erik Almas on this shoot and the results (both indoor and out) are stunning. Erik set a great tone during the shoot and it translated into comfortable talent providing the expressions we needed and comfortable clients that were quite pleased with the results. Erik’s portraits blew everyone away with their depth and beauty. Thanks for making this shoot such a great experience. We would love to work with your team again.”

A response from one of our priceless producers, Steve Dolden, after telling him how grateful we are for his skills and his hard work during a specific job.
“It is great working with you all as the Team Effort is inspiring and has affected other endeavors as well in terms of approach. I only wish you two could be at the shoots with the crew and watch Erik rounding out the vision, figuring out the shots, doing a quick comp, and putting the job to bed and at the same time putting the clients mind at ease. That is the back end magic that keeps the phone ringing. I just lay tracks and grease the skids to keep the train moving. I will admit, even with the tough days I do love what I do! Have a good eve, Steve”
Erik Almas came up with the brilliant idea to host his studio, crew, reps & friends to a day of Skydiving in Cloverdale, Lunch in Healdsburg and Wine tastings at Mauritsons & Pasterick. Filiz Rezvan put these events together and Andrew Fornasier captured the day.
