Ready to Elevate Your Brand Beyond the Noise?
The Real Cost of a Weak Visual Identity:
Letting other experts with polished, professional images win marquee speaking spots
Missing out on premium clients who are drawn to more visually compelling brands
Constantly justifying your rates instead of commanding them
Getting overlooked for leadership opportunities in your industry

Real Stories from Real Clients:
“John did an outstanding job on my shoot. He started with a strategy session that helped us plan very specific shots and props we’d need for the shoot. This process gave me great confidence in John’s expertise and professionalism. The look of my brand has elevated 3 levels after a few hours with John. I will absolutely work with him again!!”
“John is not just a pro, he understands what we need as speakers to communicate our brand. He is a creative and a marketer all at once, and he is someone who knows his craft so well that he can make anyone comfortable in front of the camera. In just one hour I got plenty of lifestyle branded photographs to use for marketing my business and use for social media. It is a value that is far beyond the cost of the session.”
“I have a ton of shots that can be used for social media, marketing, website, slides, books, and head shots, in multiple outfits, a wide range of emotions, all in about the time it took John to smoke a cigar. Honestly, my lipstick lasted longer than our shoot, but the impact of feeling seen, understood, powerful, and even beautiful will last even longer.”
“John DeMato is the da-bomb. A photographer that makes you feel like a million bucks but can bring out your authentic self on the camera. I have shot with John multiple times and I am always thrilled with the results. He can really direct anyone to look their best. He also has a strategy behind what he does. He brings the best out in you. “Capturing you through and through” is my motto for John DeMato.”
