Sauro Creative Photographic Art - About the Photography

"Sauro Photographic Art" is a unique portrait and wedding studio. As a second-generation studio, Daniel, Duane and Dennis Sauro combine over one hundred years of experience and accomplishment. In its mastery of old and new technologies the studio extends a broader artistic approach to your imaging needs. Traditional photographic process, oil paint embellishments and the latest in archival digital imaging techniques offer different advantages. Media are selected or combined based on your interests.

The studio's creative approach to the portrait process is a collaboration of our expertise and your involvement. The resulting images assure natural and personal renderings of you, your style, and your family.

The main objective of wedding and social event photography is to tell a story. This requires a meticulous attention to detail. Although formal groupings are expertly arranged and lit, most images are recorded in a photojournalistic style of photography. Romantic effects are accomplished in Black and White, color and partially colored images that are offered on photographic or archival-pigmented prints. Digital album layout and trained personnel will assist you in custom designing your album and wall portrait needs. Sauro will capture the excitement and splendor of your special day for you to enjoy for years to come.

A portrait is a powerful piece of art. Some cultures believe the portrait to capture the soul of the subject. It is a visual rending of a person's essence. It can be a statement of the subject's personality, their lifestyle or their relationship to other individuals in the portrait. The mood can be reflective, tender, bold or intense. The presentation of the portrait can be traditional, modern, illustrative or surreal. However, the true magic of a fine portrait is its ability to communicate in an intimate way with all who view it.

The credentials of the studio team are unsurpassed. Duane Sauro is the studio owner and international speaker on the subject of creative portraiture. Presentations abroad include Great Britain and the European Union. He has earned a "Master Degree of Photography", "Craftsman Degree of Photography", "Master of Electronic Imaging" degree, the coveted "Fellowship of American Society of Photographers" award, and is an honorary member of the "Guild of British Portrait Photographers". Duane is widely published and has works exhibited in museums, including the "International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum".

A quality portrait is a momentary reflection of life that will echo throughout time.
