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 timei! 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.

Your insight, suggestions and willingness to ‘go the extra mile’ all prove that you are a master of your trade. I wish you the best in all of your future endeavors.
Feel free to have any prospective customers contact me regarding your services.

“I’ve worked with Cathy at Direct Digital Photo since 2000 and she’s done several hundred shots for the Irma Shorell Cosmetics Company ranging from beautiful straight-forward product shots to highly-stylized, complex and glamorous beauty imagery. Cathy handles specific direction perfectly and will deliver the desired shot; while also providing the option of full creative interpretation if you’re not quite sure where to go. Fast, sharp, perfectly-lit work from a friendly perfectionist.”

Direct Digital has provided us with excellent location photography for several of our brochures. Cathy’s photographs of our Fume Hoods had been an essential component to our marketing. Their ability to provide in-house retouching as well as high resolution digital photography has saved our company time and money.

The photographs that Cathy and Direct Digital Photography took of our new Energy Showroom have really helped our room come to life for potential and existing customers who have seen these images at tradeshows and in our direct mailings. Cathy was very professional in the way that she went about her business before, during and after the photo shoot. These pictures have meant a lot to our business for those who have not had the chance to visit the showroom and see everything for themselves.

We have a big product (swimming pools) that require time and patience and some tough indoor situations to shoot properly. Over the years we have worked with several different firms but have never been satisfied. Since working with Cathy at Direct Digital our search is over. Her flexibility and quick response to our needs, combined with the quailty we get, means that we get the images we want when we want them. Richard Sobel, Wilbar International, Hauppauge NY
From our first conversation and even before you were finally contracted to do the shoot you had already begun your research on what might be the best way to meet our needs for the unique items we create. Your proactive excitement for our ideas convinced me we had the right team to work with. Your patience during the shoot and the end results far exceeded our highest expectations.You and your assistant never rushed through any of concerns or nervousness that we had – and you always pushed for the next best shot. We will be able to use your beautiful work in so many creative ways and it is timeless. I look forward to working with you again.
