Flash Commercial Photography
Company Summary
Flash Commercial Photography will be based in a conveniently-located studio space within half an hour of downtown Rochester, NY. The company was founded by Matte Flash in 1999. For more than ten years, Flash has operated as a freelance photographer specializing in commercial shoots, establishing a reputation among small businesses as a professional and talented photographer. Over this time, Flash’s business has steadily grown, including a variety of returning clients who rely on Flash for their product photography for pamphlets, brochures, websites, and other marketing collateral. Flash has operated without a devoted studio during this time, traveling to client sites and setting up a studio space wherever possible.
Company Ownership
