Carver Digital
MISSION
Formed in 1992, Carver Digital is a creative consortium specializing in the
creation, preparation and archiving of photography for print and electronic
media. Our mission is to provide the highest level of digital imaging creativity
and service within the fastest most flexible workflow. With integrated expertise
in assignment photography, image processing and image management, Carver
Digital gives you more creative control in less time.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Creativity is the focus; technology is the tool. Carver Digital provides a diversity
of both. You can hire the level of creativity you need at a cost you can afford,
knowing that the technology will be powerfully transparent, whether you are
shooting studio still-life on our Leaf/Scitex system or on-location with our
Nikon D-1 system.
IMAGE PROCESSING
Creating a great photograph is only the first step. Carver Digital has extensive
experience in pre-press and post-production and can optimize your images
whether you're going to print or to screen. For details see the fact sheet.
IMAGE MANAGEMENT
The efficiency of the digital imaging workflow is completed only when an
effective image management system is in place. A well-developed visual
database will give you instant sorted access to your logos, layouts, photos, and
illustrations in the hierarchy of your choice. A customized text database can
track your image-related rights and usage information. CD-ROM archives give
you non-erasable easy access long-term storage.
EXPERIENCE
Look at our portfolios and client list. We can concentrate on the creativity,
because weve mastered the technology. Entertain yourself with our Levis
project, Andy award winner for best interactive of the year. Technically you can
rest assured: Carver Digital is a digital photography Beta development site for
Scitex/Leaf, Sony and Nikon. (We wrote the manuals for Nikons D-1 software).
We provide digital product testing and promotion for Hasselblad and
Sinar/Bron and are a value added reseller for Cantos Cumulus.
