REFERRALS
"Brad has been able to take the marketing concepts that we develop and deliver photography that fits perfectly
into our ad campaigns,web site and marketing materials. He listens closely and asks questions to ensure he
has a thorough understanding of what we need to achieve creatively. He has had to photograph several people
for us who were on very tight schedules,but I have never been concerned about getting exactly what we need
out of a photo shoot even when he has had to move quickly. When it comes to photographing people,Brad
quickly develops a rapport and trust with his subjects and is able to draw them out and achieve the right shots.
More than a photographer,he is a storyteller,and people and businesses alike are able to tell their stories
through his photos."
Julie Dewitt
Director of Marketing
Koley Jessen

account executives love him as much as our art directors do!We get amazing positive client feedback about
Brad Iwen and his crew after every project-and that is extremely rare.He makes it effortless and fun to get im-
ages we used to go to LA or New York to get—without the attitude and pretentiousness."
