Grace Bishop says, "I met Steve Boatright as a fellow parent whose sons competed on the same club volleyball team. During our first competition, Steve whipped out a very nice camera with a large lens and began snapping away. I watched as he changed his angle and position several times, relentlessly capturing action shots. Within a day or so, Steve shared the photos with the families. He was able to capture not only fantastic action shots, but also the emotions of the athletes in several different capacities. What most impressed me was the way he made every single player on the team look like a superstar.The following tournament, I noticed Steve taking photos on his iPhone. I felt badly for him, forgetting to bring his camera Until he shared an Instagram video reel that he had created using his iPhone that day. The video was incredibly creative and artistic, a mix of still shots and action video, zooming in and out at the appropriate times, some color, and some black and white, the use of interesting visual special effects, and perfectly appropriate background music throughout the video. It felt like he was telling the exciting story of the day of competition, evoking the feeling of being hyped up! I was blown away at the professionalism and imagination, not to mention the technical skills, all remarkable.At this point, I inquired if Steve had ever done real estate photography. As a realtor, hiring an excellent photographer to market my listings is absolutely imperative. I am always looking for top-notch photographers, who will showcase a house in its very best light. Steve said yes, he had done some, and showed me his work. I immediately saw that he had an eye for detail and incorporated perfect lighting into the real estate photos. We then begin collaborating on projects he might be able to do for me. I am thrilled that we have an appointment on the books for him to photograph a new listing I have coming on the market soon.Something not to be overlooked about Steve - he has really good people skills. In all of my interactions with Steve, he has been kind, fair minded, a clear communicator, highly responsive, and a good listener. He is consistently genuine, honest, and authentic. Its professionals like Steve Boatright, who are an absolute joy to work with."See more
