This is what has worked in my Photographic business. Strive and avoid repetition in your work. Instead, energize the shoot with variety. Variation seems to be a key spice in the making of the memorable image.

In creating that classic photograph of a bride, a flower or a child, let their light shine through. That uniqueness is what will illuminate your photographs.

For each assignment, apply the avant-garde angle or composition to keep it fresh. Yet, remember that any technique applied should be infused with positive human values. This balancing act should be visible in my compositions, whether wedding or fine art.

Thank you for looking, PeterStaats.com. Since 1987
 

Peter,

First I want to personally thank you for capturing our wedding day. The pictures are awesome! I love the proof books and I love having every photo. Some of the moments you caught are incredible - my favorite being us leaving, hearing Destiny cry for us, and turning around to console her. I  love the Photographer's eye that you have as well - shown by your pictures of the James Dean purse carried by my aunt, the picture you took of the picture of Lance in Iraq, and others.

Thank you again for the time and care given to us.

Know that I mean every compliment of your work.

Always,

Amy Lee
 

Hey Peter,

Thanks so much for the shoot today. You're just so easy to work with, and it is always a delight. Let's hope we both to work together more.

Hi Peter,

Randy and I just got back from our honeymoon and our vacation was amazing.

I wanted to tell you how much we appreciated you being at the wedding for us.  I have no doubts whatsoever that the pics will be wonderful.  I had many people tell me what a good job you were doing all night.  It's all such a blur to me now!  Thanks for helping us remember.

Peter,

I showed the picture of Amy with her daughter blowing bubbles to one of my friends, and she commented it should be entered in some kind of contest.  I think it is one of the best pictures I have ever seen - your composition was incredible!

Peter,

We love the pictures!!!!  I don't think we can tell you which one is our favorite(s). I have always admired your artistic abilities and wonder if you might help us with the invitations as well?  
 
Thank you so much!!!

Re: Second Harvest has arrived

Peter,

I love the book – not only does it have your wonderful photographs but your creative wit as well!  The food shots were more than I had hoped for.  Rick said he would send an e-mail for us all but I just had to speak up too.  Thanks sooooo much,

Melanie
