"I have had the privilege to work with Ms Salamone on many occasions over the past twenty five years. Our business relationship started before digital photography existed. Her conversion into the digital world is a testament to her vision. I have observed first hand how she adopted sheet-fed and web principals to render realistic images and not just eye candy. The calibrated color proof she provides is equivalent to the contract proof you receive from your printer. I know this because some customers we have in common bring them to press for us to match. Her innovation in offsite mobile photography is unmatched by her competition. My hat goes off to this pioneering genius."

"We began using  DDP years ago to photograph LED SIGNS prior to the OTC  digital camera popularity. DDP's  photos were  GREAT. They are over 7 years old and we still use them.  However, we bought our own camera  and began taking our own pictures to  cut some corners. At trade shows, we use  SLIDE SHOWS on our LAPTOP to show potential customers all we've sold, mail postcards etc...  HOWEVER,  I NOTICED  that THE only  LED  signs (installations)  that OUR PROSPECTS really BECAME EXCITED OVER and ultimately purchased were the ONES THAT DDP took! 

There is NO COMPARISON.  Proof was in the prospects.... The  money  we spent for (digital) photographs from DDP has come back to us 10 fold. Trying to cut corners by doing it ourselves really only CUT DOWN on our SALES as PROVEN time and time again.

We only get one chance to evoke to EMOTION and DDP's  photographs get it for us every time!

There is a huge difference in outcome even though my husband THINKS the pictures he takes are great...Sorry, hubby, I'd rather boost our sales than your ego.
