Joanne Tan Visual Branding

Joanne Tan is a force of nature! Feisty, highly intelligent, and deliberative, she brought to the table a unique set of experiences in business, marketing, law, and art with a passion for finding, defining and expressing my unique branding for my Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine practice in Lafayette and San Ramon.
She then translated this into the development of a script and screenplay, a process that endured 7 or so revisions, each time sharpening, clarifying, and simplifying my branding message and enhancing the appeal for my demographic market.
I’m quite pleased with the final video, and it will use it preeminently for my website (benjamindieraufdotcom), facebook, and google+ business pages. It captures a well-​crafted professional, artistic, and marketable image that accurately portrays my business and personal brand.
I’ve also used Joanne for updating my professional branding headshot. Her many awards for her photography are well-​deserved, and I also plan to work with Joanne in the future to revamp and update my website and cyber-​presence.

I truly enjoyed Joanne’s approach to shooting my business portrait. She is warm and welcoming, she invites input, she works efficiently but not in a rushed manner, she works until she gets it right (she gets it right very quickly), and as an artist, she understands how light (natural and projected) plays on various complexions.
If you’re looking to upgrade your photos so that they match what you look like now instead of what you looked like 20 years ago (yeah.that was me), while still portraying you in the a very complementary way, give Joanne a call! I highly recommend her, and I won’t hesitate to return to her when the ravages of the sun and father time demand updated photos!
Cheers!

Having your picture taken by Joanne is a great experience. Not your typical photography session, Joanne takes time to engage you and gets the best photo by drawing out your personality. A great experience with great photos as a result.

Joanne, is passionate about what she does and it shows in her work and attention to detail. She will work until you are completely satisfied with the result. I would highly recommend Joanne for any of your photographic needs.

If you are in need of any photos done, Joanne does a fantastic job. Give her a call. And book an appointment. Joanne definitely pays attention to detail, and is very knowledgable at her craft. She has made an impact in many people’s lives, and can definitely capture what you’re looking for. I recommend her services to everyone.

Joanne takes her time and makes you feel comfortable. Her shots are very natural. I would highly recommend her.

Joanne Tan took our pregnancy photos for our fifth child. Never did that before, but thought we would give it a try for fun. The session was fun and we decided to make a bit of a joke out of ourselves. Joanne was hilarious and added to the .mood we were trying to capture. She takes her time, but the product was great.

A+!
We hired Joanne to memorialize our Mom’s surprise 80^th birthday party. Joanne did a FANTASTIC job, the photos were beautiful and she truly captured the moment! She covered the room well, and with her guidance and encouragement, as well as her artistic eye, put together some beautiful shots. I highly recommend her!

Joanne goes above and beyond to ensure you look natural; asking funny and/​or thoughtful questions to capture you naturally. She also works hard touching it up to ensure your complete satisfaction. I enjoyed the session and getting to know her. She also does landscape photos and I bought one of Half Dome!
I highly recommend her.

Darn I wrote a review before I logged in and it disappeared.
Joanne took a number of head shots for me. Different lighting, some standing, some sitting. She works to get the best light on your face and a sparkle in your eyes. I would definitely recommend her.

Joan’s photography is exquisite. The name of her site could easily be Photographic Poetry. Each image reads like a line from the Tao. I met Joan by accident, asking about the easel she was using, while painting near the Fisherman’s Warf. She was kind enough to not only tell me about her easel, but to put me in touch with her painting and photography. I am stunned to see images of sites I have visited from Paris to Guilin revealed in a magical light.

Joanne took some head shots for me, and I was really impressed with her eye for detail. She’s creative with lighting and angles, and truly brings out the best in the individual she’s photographing. My friends and family commented on how natural and comfortable I looked in the pictures. She also takes beautiful landscape photos! Highly recommended.

I don’t like taking photos, my smiles are usually forced and awkward. Thanks to Joanne, the photo for my LinkedIn account is better than I hoped for. She was patient, and comfortable to be around. She has a great sense of knowing what you’re after and how to get the photo (and your face) there. I definitely recommend her services.
