PHOTOGRAPHY & WEB VIDEO

At Church Street Studios, creativity is not only about image making. It is also the main ingredient in our total approach to business, and to the satisfaction of our clients.

Joe Chielli, photographer, web videographer and founder of Church Street Studios, has been creating images on Church Street in Old City Philadelphia for more than 15 years. He was one of the first photographers in Philadelphia to recognize that digital imaging technology, desk top publishing, and the internet were changing the possibilities of what a photography studio could be.
Joe Chielli envisioned a photography studio as a multimedia lab with the synergistic interaction of three key components:
  • photography (still and digital video),
  • digital imaging and editing,
  • along with web site creation and support.

That vision became Church Street Studios LLC. Church Street Studios has developed an excellent reputation in Philadelphia for quality and service.

Throughout the years Joe has done a wide range of work in different areas of image creation for many different types of clients (see partial client list). Experience has shown that the different areas of photography inform each other. We feel that our clients benefit from the technical and creative understanding that comes from solving image problems covering a broad spectrum of photographic needs.

That is why in a world segmented by thousands of narrow specializations, Church Street Studios represents the renegade renaissance spirit, refusing to specialize, and continuing to be constantly fascinated by the visual interrelationships of the real and virtual worlds we live in.
