Photography is the visual image of your company and your product in the marketplace. A good photograph will capture attention, illustrate benefits, and motivate the customer to action.  Nothing is better to communicate your sales message than excellent photography.

People eat with their eyes…and we understand how important it is to have an exciting, professional quality picture of your products to stimulate a purchase decision.

Whether you are producing a new brochure, a consumer ad, web site, or trade show booth displays, A la Carte Digital Studios can create the photographic images that sell.

We picked the A la Carte Digital Studios name when we first “went digital” in 1998, to reflect our specialty in the food and beverage industry, but it also was indicative of the role we play for our clients.

You can “buy only what you need” to complete your project. For some clients, we only do photography; for others we may add digital layouts and production services; some ask us to create and manage their website; and sometimes we are asked to handle the full project from design to printing. We even provide customized training to help our client’s in-house photographers improve their results.
What can we do for you?

After operating The Graphic Marketing Group, Inc. in Foster City since 1981, Larry Guyer renamed the business A la Carte Digital Studios in 1998 to mark the transition into digital capture and the studio’s specialization in the food industry.

From June 1999 to December 2003, Larry worked as marketing director for Better Light, Inc. in San Carlos, a manufacturer of a high-resolution digital camera system for advertising photography and art reproduction.  “The time spent with Better Light was like going to graduate school in digital technology”, stated Guyer, “but the desire to get back behind the camera was too strong to ignore”.

The studio now offers a wide variety of photography and digital production services using three different types of digital camera backs. “We have the ability to create impeccable first generation images up to 300 MB with the Better Light scan back; plus we have two different Kodak backs for moving subjects, editorial and portraiture. It is very important to create an image with the proper equipment to have sufficient pixels in the file to record fine subject detail and enable large, high quality reproduction.”
