About
One studio, two crafts .
Bartosuerte builds brands and the websites that carry them, then makes the photographs that sell them. The usual way to get all that is to hire it out in pieces and spend the next year getting the pieces to agree with each other. Here they are made in the same room, so they agree from the start.
Two crafts
Both halves of the same job.
A brand needs photographs, and photographs need a brand to belong to. Split them across two vendors and you spend the difference making them match. Kept together, they just do.
Design
Brand identity, product design, and the websites that carry them. Built around your business rather than adapted from a template built around somebody else's. A site comes two ways, a partner plan or a custom project, depending on what you actually need.

Portraits, spaces, products, and the work as it actually happens. Everything except weddings, which deserve someone who shoots nothing else and thinks about nothing else on the day.

The studio is one person.
His name is William Barton. Most people just say Barton, and that is enough third person for one page.
I design the brands, I build the sites, and I take the photographs. Two crafts is not a team of two. It is one person doing both, which is the whole reason the brand and the pictures fit each other without anyone having to make them match afterwards.
There is a resume, and this page is not trying to be it. If you want the history, it lives on its own page and it is one click away.
Where the work happens
Chattanooga, and the cities around it.
Home base is Chattanooga. The rest are a drive away rather than a flight, which matters more than it sounds like it should. Being able to sit in the room with you is most of what makes a shoot good, and a fair amount of what makes a website honest.
- Chattanooga Home base
- Nashville
- Atlanta
- Knoxville
- Birmingham
Somewhere else? Say so anyway. The form has a box for it, and the answer depends on the work rather than on the map.
How it actually goes
The person you email is the person who does the work.
One person means there is nothing sitting between you and the work. In practice that shows up in three places.
-
No handoff
The person who reads your first email is the person who designs the thing and the person who hands it over at the end. There is no pitch team, no account manager, and nobody junior inheriting the job once you have signed for it.
-
One set of hands
The brand, the site and the photographs are made by the same person, so nothing has to be reconciled at the end by somebody who was not in either conversation.

A straight answer
If the work is not a fit, I will say so, and where I can I will point you at someone it does fit. A studio this size cannot afford the jobs it should not have taken.
Now you know who you would be working with.
So tell me what you are making. It goes straight to my inbox. I read it myself, and I will come back within one business day, even if the answer is that you want a different studio.
