Jack Recht Photo & Video Production

Who we are

We are a boutique photography and video production company based in Oakland’s Lakeside neighborhood. We serve individuals and commercial clients. Our services include portrait, headshot, and product photography; photographic and video coverage of weddings, events, real estate, and automotive; and the production of corporate, training, and music videos; commercials, documentaries, and narrative films. 

Our way of working

We’ll work with you to plan and schedule a production that meets your needs and confirm the shoot the day before. After the shoot, we’ll send you a secure link to view a preliminary edit of your images and select assets for further editing if applicable. We’ll send you another link where you can view and download your finished photos or video files. 

Pricing

We quote jobs individually based on your specific requirements. We can provide a verbal estimate by phone and follow up with a written quote within 24 hours. Your quote will include line-item pricing for labor and expenses, delivery dates, and the number and type of images you will receive.

 

Below are the minimum prices for common shoot types. All images include global corrections for exposure, white, balance, and contrast. All but event and documentary photos include image cleanup and additional targeted adjustments. Non-HDR real estate photos also include hand blending of bracketed exposures. Additional retouching, including cosmetic retouching and compositing, is also available.
