•  Hi, my name is Christian Parley, the owner of Christian Parley Commercial Photography based in Fresno, California. I was born and raised in Fresno and am a strong advocate for the businesses and the people here. I see a city with tremendous potential.

I have a wide breadth of study and life experience that I bring to the relationships I build with my clients and to my photography style. Classic use form in art and photography creates a timeless style, which is my goal. I strive to see my clients and their businesses stand the test of time.    

I'm an award-winning professional photographer with over 18 years experience, 11 of them as a general assignment editorial photographer with The Fresno Bee newspaper and McClatchy publications.  My editorial photography work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, The Christian Science Monitor, NBC News, ESPN, and various Associated Press member outlets. 

•  As an established commercial photographer, I create compelling visual content for institutional and emerging companies' websites, social media, trade publications, annual reports, corporate lifestyle and events (trade shows, conventions, product launches, ground-breaking ceremonies, award presentations), and personal bios -- including headshots and environmental portraiture. 

• My editorial photography has been called "compassionate". I read that as being able to connect with the story and the subject. And if you can do that, then the reader can as well. 

•  As a three-year veteran Google Trusted Photographer, I create unmatched-quality, 360-degree interactive panoramic tours for business that appear prominently in Google Search, Google Maps, and Google+ Business listings.

•  Here's a few reviews:

Ryan Smith of Creative Tile said...

I have worked with Chris for the last three years and I can't say enough about his passion for excellence! He has gone above and beyond the extra mile to accommodate Creative Tile's needs. You can tell when a company really cares about their customers, I truly know I found a gem here. We had Chris set up our virtual tour and that alone has paid for itself 20 fold. 

Rebecca Clawson of Clawson Honda of Fresno and Clawson Motorsports said...

The virtual tour is amazing! Not only does he provide quality work he has excellent customer service. Thank you Chris you're awesome!

Mischelle DiCiccio of DiCiccio Orthodontics said...

Christian Parley Commercial Photography recently created a 360 degree virtual tour of our office. It turned out great! Christian was a pleasure to work with. From start to finish, the project was seamless and took very little effort on our part. We would highly recommend him for any photography work you may need to have done. Thanks for a job well done!

Madera Auto Center said...

For all the local businesses out there, Christian Parley Photography has done an incredible job photographing our dealership and new vehicles on the lot. We use these photos all over the web - in social media posts, on review sites, etc. Christian Parley is the go-to guy for 360 degree views of your business space.... we recommend him 100%. 

Nicole Heyart of LunaTech3D said... 

Christian was a pleasure to work with. I hired him as a vendor to take pictures for our commercial property tours and my client went out of her way to tell me how wonderful it was to work with him. He was fast, friendly and funny. He made us all look good which is important. I would hire him again in an instant.

Renee Fernandes, formerly the Photo Director of The Fresno Bee said...

Christian has a keen sense of putting everyone in the room at ease. I worked with him as a fellow photographer as well as being his manager and in all cases he was professional, studious and got the job done with a smile. Christian is definitely someone you want to work with.

Felix Muzquiz, Executive Director of The Vineyard Farmer's Market said...

Chris (at Christian Parley Photography) has been so friendly and helpful in getting our Google+ presence established that I would highly recommend him for any photography needs you might have! He is very professional and personable and really made the entire project quite enjoyable. Oh yeah, and he takes AWESOME pictures, too!

John Walker, nationally acclaimed photojournalist said...

Christian is one of the most talented photojournalists I've worked with over my 30-plus year career. Great eye, and just a great person.

Aram Tatarian of Aram's Auto Repair Center said...

We have had an opportunity to work with Christian as he did a phenomenal job of doing a 360 view inside our shop to use on our webpage for Aram's auto. He took the time to understand what I was looking for, he made suggestions that were brilliant and enhanced the delivery of the video. It was a pleasure working with Christian and we highly recommend him. Thank you Christian.

Audio Innovations of Fresno said...

Not only was Chris extremely personable, professional, and punctual, he was also very knowledgeable with the inner workings of Google...  Thanks again, Chris!

Rosemary Brooks of Affinity Dental said...

Chris thank you for being so helpful in getting our Google+ presence established. The photos you did for our Google+ page and our office website were super. We had a fun experience and you made the photo shoot easy for everyone. Affinity Dental of Fresno staff gives you a five star rating.

Tim Sheehan, Editor & Senior Reporter with The Fresno Bee said...

I had the privilege of working with Christian at The Fresno Bee. I greatly appreciated not only his considerable talent as a photojournalist, but also his professionalism and his sense of humor. His manner could put a nervous subject at ease, and I was consistently impressed with the quality of the images that Christian produced for the newspaper for breaking or enterprise news, sports stories or feature stories. He is a great team player and I'd welcome any opportunity to work again with him.

Alfredo Sosa, Director of Photography for The Christian Science Monitor said...

Christian! This (editorial photography) is excellent work, thank you! Great job!
