Pictures Tell the Story
Pictures tell the story… so whether it be a “Featured Restaurant,” LifeStyles or Travel Article, California Online Magazine strives to provide our readers with the high quality photo work. Photos help tell the story, be it Lifestyles, Travel or or Food; we want pictures that reach out and grab our readers by their taste buds. Our Lifestyle shots transport the reader to the very location they were taken, and place the viewer alongside the reviewers. Pictures make the story; all of which requires great photographers. California Online boasts some of the best! About Our Featured Photo Shoots
Unbiased reviews and articles begin with the ability to be just that… unbiased; as such California Online does not charge for any of our magazines “Featured Articles,” nor are they based on advertising commitments. Because of this our stories remain unbiased; and our staff chooses the venues to be reviewed based on our reader’s interests and prior candid reviews. Featured Reviews are not Candid Reviews
Surprisingly we often are asked how it is possible to take such amazingly good “Food Photos” without the restaurant or venue knowing that a review is being done… and the answer is; they know! All of California Online “Featured Stories” are done with full permission of the venue’s management… and their cooperation. This is the same with many of the magazines LifeStyle Stories also, but once again we strive to remain unbiased in all of our reviews while providing readers with the information and photos required to make better travel and dining decisions. About the Pictures
California Online is blessed with some very dedicated photographers, and we often share our photos with the restaurants, events and locations we shoot… frequently at no cost. This said, good photography costs, and our “cameras” don’t work for free; and their services are available for a very reasonable fee. If you need high quality photo work, top quality photo retouching, layout or professional prints; our “Staff” may be your answer. “Cameras for Hire” ... Some of the best, cost less.
Most of our “Staff Photographers” are flat out professionals… absolutely some of the best, and specialize in portrait, product and travel photography; others specialize in “press,” “event” and “wedding work.” Depending on what the “Event” or “Story” is California Online may be willing to provide the services you require… but if not, many of our photographers direct contact links are included below:
