I grew up in Barcelona and while my background is in corporate business, my true passion has always been photography. For many years, photography has been an integral part of my life in many shapes and forms: travel, journalism, portrait, events, wildlife. Brisbane has been my home for many years and Photogenia is my latest professional project where I have a single objective in mind: making you look.good!.
Xavier was excellent and I would happily recommend his services to those who require his services. I engaged Photogenia to update my headshot recently after researching various photographers. I had an excellent experience and highly recommend them.

Xavier was very responsive, accommodating and professional throughout the process; he went to great lengths to ensure I felt comfortable during the photo session; he took pride in his work and the finished product; and the quality of the photographs was excellent (even despite me being notoriously unphotogenic).I will definitely engage Photogenia again in future.
Images speak a thousand words. And if they are taken by Brisbane's top event photographer with us, expect the pictures to tell a beautiful story. We are an expert corporate event photographer who have worked with small, medium and large businesses to create eye-catching and impactful images. They are beautiful and reflect the real action happening on the floor.

Xavier came to photograph an event we held in May. We absolutely loved working with him. He was respectful, professional & so creative with work. We love every single image & can't wait to work with him again in the future. Thank you Xavier!

Amazing, amazing experience working with Jimmy. He has to be one of the best photographers around - he's enthusiastic, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. And his photography work has taken him all over the world! Seriously, look at his website to see examples of his past work (including portraits of former presidents!). If you're anything like me, you'll realize that this is the type of thing worth investing in. With Jimmy, you're making a great investment for a fantastic price.

Our group traveled to Chicago to celebrate our company’s anniversary. We hired Chicago Corporate Photography & Video to photograph our dinner cruise event on the Anita Dee II. Jimmy Fishbein was absolutely great to work with throughout the entire process! He was challenged with the job to wrangle 65 employees on the top deck for a group photo. He was determined position us perfectly with the Chicago skyline in the background and also captured many great candid shots. Jimmy was incredibly fun and easy to work with and recommend him to anyone!

I hired Chicago Corporate Photography and Video to take head-shots for a group of 25 graduate students and staff and have nothing but positive things to say about the experience. Jimmy and his assistant were professional and efficient in maximizing their time with each student, and the quality of work was beyond my expectations. Without a doubt I would recommend Jimmy to anyone. I have never (ever, ever) liked the way I look in pictures and was hesitant to have my picture taken, but the finished product was so incredible that I ordered multiple shots. He knew which angles would work well for me

Thank you Xavier for a wonderful photo shoot with my daughter. You made her feel at ease and coached her through expressions, poses and face angles to achieve looks with deep emotion. And you even made my… husband and I feel comfortable and very much part of the process. In the photos you captivated an emotive side of her we have never seen before. Absolutely amazing! Need a headshot? Xavier is your man!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this company. Jimmy recently took head shots at a professional workshop held for Chicago high school seniors. The photos were beautiful and appeared natural - Jimmy was excellent at putting the students at ease. He was able to work with our space to create the perfect backdrop and had great attention to detail. From initial contact through receiving the final product Jimmy was professional, personable, punctual, prepared, and organized. He also responded to our needs with very little notice and had an impressive turnaround time. Thank you Jimmy for

We are not local to Chicago, but our client was hosting a small conference at a hotel downtown. We chose Chicago Corporate Photography & Video to shoot a video series of short lectures at the day-long conference. Jimmy handled the entire process with professional ease. He had great communication and response times, from initial contact to final product. On site at the event, Jimmy and his staff were pleasant, on time, well prepared, and organized. The final product mixed in live video of the presenters, along with slides of content from the lectures. The turnaround time for production was quick

I met Jimmy Fishbein, the owner of Chicago Corporate & Video, at a networking meeting. Months later, a friend used him for engagement photos and the pictures were stunning. I recently needed my professional portrait and I contacted Jimmy. The process was painless and seamless from setting up the appointment to receiving the final product. Jimmy was quick in his email responses, accommodating to my schedule and most importantly, made me feel comfortable during the shoot. He has a down to earth, patient and kind spirit which is why I liked working with him. I would definitely recommend Jimmy and

I just had my professional headshots done with Chicago Corporate Photography and Video and I cannot speak highly enough about the experience. Jimmy Fishbein (owner and lead photographer) took my creative profession into account with wardrobe choices and backdrop--and they turned out perfectly! He decided to take my pictures outdoors for more of a city/environmental look, and admittedly, I think more people should take their professional headshots outdoors and use the natural light to their advantage. He made me feel super comfortable in front of the camera and I LOVE how the photos turned out.

Chicago Corporate Photography and Video is amazing! Our organization used them to take photos of employees around the office to enhance our career site. Not only did the photos turn out better than we could have imagined, but Jimmy and his team were fantastic! Any photo or video needs we have in the future, we will certainly contact them again. A great vendor experience all around - one of the best I've ever worked with!
