What is Commercial Photography?

     Commercial Photographers produce Professional Photos for Advertising and Marketing Campaigns to enhance the sales of those clients. They work in the business community to support the sales force. Portrait Photographers deal with the general public and shoot Families, individuals, weddings and events for their client’s personal use. Commercial photographers shoot with a different mindset as they are selling a product, emphasis on dramatic lighting and composition helps to focus attention and enhance the product for sale. Portrait photographer’s focus on creating a pleasing environment in each shot, their client becomes part of that environment.

Villa Louis Historical Site


Villa Louis located in Prairie du Chien Wisconsin is an accurately restored Victorian home from the late 1800’s. They are a proud member of The Wisconsin Historical Society and are on the Wisconsin National Register of Historic Places.

In the late 1990’s Dale Hall Photography was commissioned by the State of Wisconsin Historical Society to accurately photograph the completed restoration. Using his 4x5 View Camera Dale was able to create the exact angles and lighting of the Historic Photos shot in the late 1800’s. When each of these shots are viewed side by side they show the great attention to detail that went into this amazing restoration. Please Google “Villa Louis Dale Hall”

Dale Hall is a Madison Wisconsin Commercial Architectural Photographer with over 25 years of producing beautiful photography.

Advertising is Key!


Advertising is the key to the growth of any business. Not only to reach new customers but also keeping your name fresh in the minds of those you have worked with in the past. Advertising Photography gives your campaign the impact of beautiful images that leave a long lasting impression on your customers. Strong lighting and composition is the primary job of a Commercial Photographer, literally showing off your products in their best light. Composition is important to create a visually pleasing image. With the addition of great lighting you (my customer) will receive stunning images that will sell your products. Your product may be an architectural interior, an individual item for a product catalog, an industrial shoot showing hands on processes, whatever you sell is your product. Allow me to show off your products in their “Best Light” and ultimately make you more money, it’s my job.
