Recognized as one of the top 200 Digital Artists Worldwide, Darryl Bernstein loves to wrap pixels around a great idea!
These digital composites are mostly original concepts. But Darryl is also called on to contribute creative ideas and direction to client work. With the Bolle Sunglasses campaign, Darryl worked closely with the agency creative team to produce concepts which helped them win the business!
Darryl strives to add depth to the meaning and executions of photo-illustrations, as is evident in the Airstream images. To produce this campaign, Darryl traveled across Washington state to capture background scenes and the Airstream trailer itself (photographed at a Spokane Airstream dealership. The models representing a couple that "never ages" across five decades were captured in a park convenient to a specialty vintage clothing shop! All images were accompanied by quotes from Airstream’s adventurous founder.

Our sportswear clients make us crazy - and we love it! Pulling together all the details of an apparel shoot can cause a panic. But we've got you covered!
Our teams are put together based on the budget and goals of the photoshoot. Our clients benefit from the efficiencies we identify when we apply our years of experience to their projects.
Let's connect and see how far we can stretch your budget on your next apparel shoot!
We love this category as we get to dive deep into the details! No other category demands such levels of perfection. Often, we are pressed to make prototypes look gorgeous under tight production deadlines. But we are always up to the task and welcome the challenge — the results are worth it!
Perfection is beautiful! Contact us to show off your products to perfection!
We marvel at the engineering and design that goes into even the smallest parts of everyday machines! Many are truly works of art, so we shoot them that way. We light and compose for maximum impact and strive to reveal the beauty and quality of our subjects. Even a simple bottle of bleach can be elevated to sculpture in our studio.
Let's chat about photographing your product turning it into a modern masterpiece!
The most important brand: yours!
We shoot faces for many top companies and often we shoot faces for the most personal brand - you! Our portraits have led recruitment campaigns for Microsoft and AT&T, expressed authenticity for Kansas City Life Insurance, and revealed the character of employees at Union Pacific.
But what puts the biggest smile on our faces is knowing how much our clients love their portraits, and seeing them used on social media as the face of their own personal brand.
Join us to put your brands' best face forward!

Collectively Speaking!
We have enjoyed a tremendous partnership with The National Toy and Miniature Museum in Kansas City. We have been honored to carefully and artfully capture much of their vast collection of toys and miniatures.
The museum's recent multi-million dollar remodel includes the use of our images throughout the exhibits. In addition, a smart campaign using our photography has gained national attention for design excellence in this category. We are especially proud of the beautiful printed book featuring our photography which offers visitors to the museum a way to take the collection home!

Christmas in July! Yeah, we get it. We need to create that holiday feeling at any time of year! But it's all good - you're in good hands. Darryl has done this a thousand times. With a career forged at Hallmark Cards, his team knows holidays! We can bring out all the cheer your products need and deliver images that put your customers into the spirit.
So let's make a list and check it twice. Using Bernstein Productions will make it very nice!
All kidding aside... kids can be unpredictable. But you can predict that! You may only get one shot to get it right. Therefore we design kid shoots in such a way that we are ready for anything. You have products that need to shine next to a young star who just may steal the show! That is why the Bernstein Method emphasizes production planning and prepares scenes that ensure success.
But all good planning is for naught, if you can't elicit the right emotion from a young subject. Since we are still kids at heart, we’re able set the right mood, ensuring we get the best from our child models. We pride ourselves on catching those magic moments for our clients!
Call us and turn your next photoshoot into child's play!
Now Boarding!
Even a short trip to a familiar location can force a new perspective. A change of pace, people watching, light, architecture — anything can catch your eye in a fresh way when you change your environment. And occasionally Darryl takes his camera or an iPhone and makes images of the things that compel him to take another look.
This gallery represents some of Darryl's favorite scenes, many of which are available for sale under the PRINTS menu.
Gram it!
This gallery gathers some of Darryl's current favorite instagram images from his BPHOTO1 account. Please follow him on instagram to see where the journey takes him. Enjoy!
Enjoyed the quiet stillness at this beachfront pool on the Italian Riviera.
I have been passing this location for years and never took the time to stop and photograph this wonderful terrain. But a recent vacation to the area afforded me the time to experiment. I grabbed a chair from our vacation home and trekked into the woods a bit and found this clearing to be just right. I love the colors in this image!
