Buena High School

August 2007 brought IMSTEPF Studios Buena High via Alice Sheley of the Photo department. We have been so lucky to be called on by the photo department of Buena High! The very first email came from Alice Sheley back in 2007 and we were blushing with pleasure at the opportunity to serve the photo department in any way we could. We felt perplexed initially because it wasn't a local LA school contacting us but felt the need to respond.

Right now the school needs photo equipment and lots of helpful input for the students to have the best opportunity to excel. We love every chance to pass on the love and reinforcement. Thanks to Alice Sheley of Buena High for reaching out to touch us. We feel like heck why don't we do that ourselves more often??

Alice has inspired us to continue push the envelope of mental limits. Right now we are working methodically on passing on some useful resources to Buena High. The Prop room and workshop is getting a thorough detailing right now to explore what we can pass on to the students in the photo department of Buena High.

We laugh at ourselves because, the exchange with Buena High prompted the studio to examine ways to serve Los Angeles photo departments and high schools. Serving the community is one way we'd love to expand our circle of friends. Thanks to Buena High Arizona /Alice Sheley we feel the inspiration to follow through on the abstract discussions and concepts into making them real.

A Little About Us

We provide creative photography for advertising. We are food photographers who love to take pictures of food. We enjoy photography and the subject of food. Food Photography is identified as a specialty by photographers because this area of photography is so vast. We choose food photography because we appreciate food down to our toes. The food subject is nourishing, sensual, and gorgeous. It feeds our families, friends and our souls. Not to mention our clients, their bank accounts and then ourselves and in that order. In short, Food Photography is one of best places to be. We take pleasure in creating it, eating it, arranging it, and photographing it.

What is Food Photography?

Food photography is born out a passionate obsession with food, which allows us to shoot food photography for clients who need appealing food photos. The food photography we produce is provided for advertisements; editorial stories; or packaging concepts for the stuff you may see on shelves when you’re out shopping for groceries. IMSTEPF STUDIOS greets you with yummie treats, and welcomes you to the subject of food photography.
