Our latest interview is with Douglas Gunder, a Nebraska based photographer specializing in providing classy photojournalistic wedding photography.

Q. What did you want to be when you grew up? 
A. Since 5th grade a photographer.  Had a student teacher in 5th grade that showed us how to print photos in a darkroom.  When I saw that I was hooked.

Q. Where did you grow up?
A. Des Moines, Iowa (Urbandale)

Q. Your favorite subject to photograph?
A. Weddings, everyone is at their best and having fun.

Q. What camera/s do you shoot with? 
A. Nikon D700

Q. Your most awkward photography moment?
A. This happened back in the film days and I was only 3 or 4 years into the photography profession.  Had to retake the hometown football team three times.  It was not fun telling the head football coach we need to take them again and yet again.  The first retake was because the shutter stopped working on the RB 67.  Second time around the film was not winding through the camera.  Third time it worked thank God!

Q. The hardest part of your job.
A. Waiting around for everyone.  The start of a wedding, event or portrait session.  Mainly because there are too many unknowns before a wedding or any photo shoot. Everyone is all nerves at that point.  After 5 minutes into it no problem!

Q. The easiest part of your job?
A. Taking the photos.  Once I’m behind the camera I’m at my best.  It’s all that production and sales stuff I can do without.

Q. Your favorite movie of all time?
A. The Poseidon Adventure (1972), I was in grade school when I saw it and for some reason it had impacted me.  Life can be short.

Q. Your favorite meal?
A. A Costco hotdog and a Coke.  Or Bush Stadium, St. Louis Cardinal Baseball eating a hotdog.  That’s my retirement.

Q. Who do you most admire? Why?
A. Can I name two people?  My past employer in St. Louis, MO.  Tom and Etta McCarthey.  They are one of the few people/couples that really knew how to make money in photography.  Had four portrait studios that really rolled along.

Q. What will you be doing 5 years from now?
A. Still doing photography.  Would like to help people in need some way.  Such as the Red Cross, helping people dealing with addictions, working to help other through our church groups.

More and more photographers are approaching us for our SEO services as they realize (especially in the current economy) that showing up on a web search is just as important as having a professional-looking and functional website.

We have had great success in boosting our clients’ web visibility. Take a look at some of our results below. In all cases, the websites originally did not show up at all in the first 3 pages of results, but after our SEO, they were showing on either the first or second page of results, many in the top spot.

We have now launched a brand new custom website for the one-and-only David Beckstead!

It is based on an “old-world” theme and cover his travels to 65 countries, showcasing his amazing and inspirational photography.

I am so impressed with Site Composer and with me…for making such a good decision…..lol. I have gone thru this process many times, and your interface is the best I’ve seen.

Thanks for a very professional service!

I am loving the website and it is really quite easy to edit. I bought a flash template from Template Monster last year and it was a nightmare so I’m very glad I found you as I find flash very difficult to use.

…in the future I will want to make some changes and I’m excited to be able to do that on my own with the new site.  Thank you for everything, you guys have a great product and again I so glad that I found Photoidentities.  I can’t begin to tell you the amount of traffic that comes my way…

I also want to give you my biggest compliments on the site composer.  I love my “eco-site” but this is even easier!  I put this together in a matter of hours and I’m so happy with it!  Very user friendly and very clean and professional looking.  I have always spread my thoughts on your service around, but now I’ve got another thing to brag about.  I hope I can send more business to your site.  You certainly deserve it!

I want to compliment your web site design and customer service. It has exceeded my expectations. I found your company on the National convention’s blog, and your company had recently lowered the prices. What a bargain!  The best website template I have found and at the lowest price. That is a winning combination.  I am new to web designs and was reluctant  to purchase your product. Now I’m glad I did. When I had a problem or got stuck help was on the way. I already had a web site before Photoidentities, and had to rely on the prior administrator to make changes for me. The problem was he was not available most of the time. Lucky for me, I found Photoidentities and ended up with an awesome site design plus tech support when I need it.  Thank you,  Sam Locastro, www.locastro.com
