This involves a day of free photography and retouching to a not-for-profit organization. In 2009 Freedom Service Dogs were selected by the GIVE committee to receive this prestigious honor. Attached is one of the images created for Freedom Service Dogs. Our mission was to help the "Operation Freedom" division of Freedom Service Dogs which assists American Veterans to be placed with one of their specially trained service dogs. This is Artie and his family. We encourage you to give back as well. GIVE 2 for 2010 will be accepting applications soon.

FIREMAN'S ALE IMAGERY
Souders Studios specialties of beverage photography and flame photography meet in this new Client Image for Fireman's Ale. This image is a nice icy cold Fireman's Ale Beer sitting on a burning timber. The Flames are real. The red "hot spots" are real. The smoke is real. This was shot in Studio. We used a number of takes when creating the "Hot Spots" and our expert imaging specialist John Wood, combined a few images together. It is one of my favorite new beverage images.
