Photography

Established in 1995 by Michael Worth, Crew Tags Int’l, LLC is a multi-faceted business that requires 12 different web sites to market all of its products.

Our core business is luggage tags. And running that business requires a broad range of skills and equipment that allows us to offer an equally broad range of products and services. Services that you might not expect from a company whose roots are manufacturing luggage tags.

One of those skills is photography. We excel at outdoor and sports photography, and that’s what our equipment is specifically designed for. After all, we spend most of our time photographing aircraft moving at a high rate of speed for our airliner luggage tags.

It’s that speed, and the skill that we’ve developed catching the moving aircraft at just the right moment, that has enabled us to photograph objects that are moving more slowly, such as those at sporting events, or weddings. And that has also enabled us to capture memories that might be lost to a photographer who isn’t accustomed to moving so quickly.

We invite you to browse our portfolio and see for yourself what it is that we can do with a camera. I’ve chosen only a small sampling of my favorite shots to post here in an effort to keep all of our shots from popping up on web sites all over the globe. And I’ve purposely chosen the shots that were the hardest to get so that we can best show case our skills for you here. If you’ve ever played with a camera at all, you know that the hardest shots are those taken at night, and of moving objects. Put those two items in the same shot and you’ve got a challenge! But I like a challenge!

In the Electrical Parade Gallery, you’ll find 12 of my favorite shots of Disney’s Electrical Parade. All shots in this gallery were taken after dark, of moving objects, at close range.

In the Fireworks Gallery, you’ll find 12 of my favorite shots from Disney’s Dreams Come True 50th Anniversary Fireworks Show. This gallery is home to some of my all time favorite photographs. All shots are obviously taken after dark, of moving objects, at varying distances.

In the Idaho and Nature Galleries, you’ll find 7 of my favorite shots of the great outdoors. Including some of the most beautiful events that Mother Nature has displayed for me at times that I’ve been fortunate enough to have a camera near by, and fast enough to actually catch it on film. You’ll never appreciate how fast the sun actually sets until you’ve tried to catch it on film when you were unprepared for the event.

The Sports Gallery currently contains 3 of my favorite images from one of my favorite sports: Mountain Biking. I’ll be adding more to this gallery as I take enough time off from my other sports to actually photograph them. It’s always a challenge to get me to put down the ski pole long enough to take some pictures. Harder still is to find someone with enough skill to give me the great shots I’m looking for.

And lastly, our Wedding Gallery contains 13 images that are traditional, contemporary and spontaneous. I hope you’ll take the time to see that I’ve captured both the classic images that you’d expect from a wedding photographer, as well as those spontaneous moments that only lasted for a moment, but that I’ve managed to capture for a lifetime.

If you enjoy the images in my Portfolio as much as I do, and if you have an important event coming up that you’d like to have photographed, I hope you’ll consider hiring me as your photographer for that event. You can contact me by filling out this form.

I generally charge $97 an hour for my services. And I am both flexible and fair. I’ll always try to arrive early, and I’ll only charge for the hours that I’m shooting. I don’t charge for travel here in the Treasure Valley. Travel outside the valley may incur travel charges.

In most cases you’ll have about an hour of post-processing for me to review the shots, crop, edit and save to either CD or DVD. Optionally, I can arrange those shots to music on a DVD. And I have some wonderful samples of such work here in my office that I’d love to share with you. Office hours are by appointment only.

Thanks for choosing Crew Tags!
