Professional Photographers and Videographers at Your Service!

Artistry, experience and professionalism are the keys to the success of Art & Clarity, a fine photography and video production company. Wedding photography, studio sessions, corporate events, architectural photography, and the fine art of creating images for the food and wine industry all pair well with a contagious creativity expressed by this award-winning team.

Janna Waldinger and Lowell Downey, owners of Art & Clarity, have partnered for three decades. Waldinger and Downey deliver the highest standards in technical excellence that is infused with dramatic light and emotional impact. “We bring the spirit of opening night to all of our work,” says Waldinger. “We give our clients images that reflect more than they can see. We are dedicated to creating images for our clients to show up and shine in their best light.”

Their photographic assignments have taken them to four continents-from Bolivia to Israel, Chile to Dubai, Switzerland to India and home again from New York City to San Francisco and Napa. They are also available to share their expertise through their custom Art & Clarity Adventures teaching locals and visitors alike the fine art of photography on excursions as they travel throughout the world.
