By Dave Gallagher, President of Capture Integration
Over the next 30 days, the majority of photo manufacturers will begin laying out their new product road map for the next 12 months. Doug Peterson and myself will be heading to Cologne, Germany for Photokina and will be blogging daily from the meetings and the show floor. In addition to technical coverage of the products announced we will also be sharing with you our personal experiences of being at Photokina – the largest Photo Expo in the world.
In addition Doug Peterson has been invited to tour the Denmark Headquarters of Phase One afterwards.
If you have anything that you would like us to research for you, please Contact Us. And if you have not already, please sign up for our RSS feed.
I’m more excited about this Photokina than I’ve been in a long time. I truly feel there will be some exciting announcements this year – please stay tuned!

Hedrich Blessing – Chicago
August 11, 2010 | Client Gallery
In Their Own Words
“Hedrich Blessing is a well known – 80 year old architectural photography studio in Chicago. About a year ago, we made the decision to convert our imaging process to digital. Once we made the decision to put away our 4×5 Sinars and Linhofs, we looked to the market for a consultant that could help us in our quest for equipment that would support our vision.
We were fortunate to find Capture Integration. They set about finding the right combination of cameras, lenses, and a capture device all of our photographers could embrace. Capture integration gathered equipment from multiple sources for us to test- and helped us make the best choices. Dave & Chris have gone the extra mile over and again. In my opinion, they’re the best people in the business- no question.”

Viewpoint Studios – High Point
August 10, 2010 | Client Gallery
In Their Own Words
We were dedicated to creating the most technically advanced studio in our marketplace and it turned into the single largest digital back installation in the history of our industry. This isn’t something you go into lightly so there was never a question as to who we needed to partner with. With an undertaking of this magnitude you simply have to partner with the best, and in our eyes Capture Integration stands head and shoulders above everyone else. Everyone! They aren’t a photographic dealer. They’ve created a category all their own with the most professional attitudes, service and products available anywhere. Frankly they became as integral to our operation as our staff.

In His Own Words
“I don’t remember how I heard of Capture Integration, I do know the first time I met them was at one of their free seminars they put on to educate us about digital products and software.
David and Doug have become my go to guys in regards to anything digital; be that a technical question that Doug (and no one else) can answer from the top of his head, or David’s impressive care of each and every individual client; Capture Integration treats its clients with an amazing level of customer service, the same way I strive to treat my clients.
That David goes to whatever lengths are necessary to help a client was shown again a few weeks ago: a missing cable in a rental kit threatened to stop my shoot, but David drove to his Atlanta office early that Saturday morning, pulled the piece, drove to the airport and rushed the cable to me via Delta Dash. A few hours after my initial phone call to him, I was up and shooting with a happy client.
This attitude is not the exception at Capture Integration – I am by far not the biggest client of theirs, but I am treated with the same commitment to more than perfect customer service as anyone else.”

Dave Monroe – Tampa

In His Own Words
“I was one of the first photographers in Tampa, possibly even in all of Florida, to go digital. With Chris’s help, today I’ve moved into the Mamiya 645 with a P45+. Myy clients are thrilled and so am I. I confidently recommend Chris and Capture Integration to fellow photographers. That’s not something I do lightly since my recommendations reflect on me. Their attention to detail and constant effort to be at the top of their game make it easy for me to recommend them. Chris is my go-to guy and if others are smart, they’ll keep CI’s number programmed into their cellphones and written in ink in their wallets.”

In Their Own Words
“Capture Integration are such important partners with us in the studio business. Having this relationship is so valuable and vital to our day to day business activity. Sure, one can order from other resources on the web, or from catalogs, but where are they when you need assistance? In our business, when we need assistance…we need it immediately! Where are the others when you’re in a bind and need technical support or need to rent additional, not good, but great and trustworthy equipment? I can always count on Dave and his team, whatever the need, when it comes to our photographic equipment. I can’t say enough about how much I value our relationship and the weight it removes from my shoulders just knowing that they are there standing behind my business.”
