APPROACH
Welcome to Yale Gurney Pictures (YGP), where visual storytelling has been our forte since 2009. We've had the privilege of collaborating with renowned brands such as Moncler, Gensler, Nathan's, SITE Centers, ADP, Bayer, and many others. Our work has graced the pages of PR Newswire, The Business Journals, Yahoo! Finance, and more, reaching a global audience.
Our portfolio extends beyond journals and magazines; we've made an impact on billboards and contributed videos for essential marketing campaigns across the United States. Instead of boasting, we take pride in the fact that our content has touched and engaged audiences worldwide, offering them fresh and exciting interactions with brands. We are storytellers, and our lenses are the tools that bring these stories to life.
At YGP, we pride ourselves on our ability to demonstrate remarkable diversity, working seamlessly on projects of varying sizes and collaborating with a collective of skilled production professionals. We are committed to staying at the forefront of the ever-evolving visual landscape, adapting our skills to the changing platforms of photos and videos, from traditional billboards to tablets, mobile phones, and everything in between.
If you have a narrative, we have the means to articulate it. We go beyond the obvious, focusing on elements that might escape notice, enriching a structure with themes that resonate with our clients. Our approach to visual storytelling is not about compliance with requests; it's about creating immersive experiences that venture into uncharted territories. Partnering with us means aligning with a production company that comprehends your vision and understands how you want your structure portrayed—a pivotal aspect in the storytelling process.
As the renowned architect Elizabeth Kubany notes, "The photographer’s job is to create an image that captures and explains a three-dimensional building in a two-dimensional format for someone who will probably never see it in reality. That’s why the photographer must understand the building and what the architect is trying to say. In fact, it's all very personal." We embody this philosophy in our work, aiming not just to capture structures but to convey the essence of the architect's vision in a deeply personal and meaningful way. At YGP, we invite you to join us in a journey of visual storytelling, where every project, big or small, becomes an opportunity to create compelling narratives and redefine the way audiences engage with your brand.
