Dan Mitchell, a.k.a. PHX Photo is a Utility Photographer serving Arizona’s East Valley.

What is ‘Utility Photography’? In this day and age, to do business, you need a phone, you need internet access… and you need photographs. If you sell a product or offer a service, the best possible tool to have at every stage in the sales process is a set of high-quality photos. Be it online on your website or in print, photos will do more to sell your product than anything else you can do. Photos posted online or in a brochure can make the phone ring. Photos in a ‘brag book’ can help close the sale.

As the old maxim states, a picture is worth a thousand words. When it comes to people’s homes, a picture can literally be worth thousands of dollars.

I’m an experienced photographer who has been using SLRs for decades. The equipment I use includes an ultra-wide-angle lens which gives a field of view 2-3 times wider than the standard wide angle on most point-and-shoot cameras and camera phones, so it’s easier for me to get quality photos in even the smallest of spaces. Additionally, I use an off-camera bounce flash with diffuser, which is more powerful than the built-in flash of a point-and-shoot camera or camera phone, which lights up a much bigger space, while virtually eliminating unattractive ‘hot spots’ or glare.
