Tradewind Productions - Philadelphia Area Photographer


About Us

Tradewind Productions was formed as an alternative to the traditional photography studio. While many studios feel it best to fit you to a photo, we feel that photos are best when they are created to fit you. Christopher Rizza opened the studio in August 1997, after working in all aspects of the photography industry for over a decade. Tradewind Productions was built upon the goal of offering a unique product to our customers... top quality photography with a choice.

Tradewind is a fitting name for our studio. In the same way that a tradewind blows consistently in a single direction, we help to direct you through the process of capturing images, but to do it in a free form, gentle way that produces beautiful results.

We work hard to take away the drudgery of having photographs taken, and work with our clients to make the entire process an enjoyable experience. Our unique ability to do this allows us to capture the simplicity, beauty and uniqueness of your image or event.

Photography in it's purest form is the art capturing of a moment in time. By utilizing the highest quality equipment, supplies, and techniques, combined with the best customer service, Tradewind Productions has been fortunate enough to capture many moments over the years. We would love the opportunity to capture those special moments for you.

Please review our client testimonials and see first hand why Tradewind Productions blows the competition away.
