About The PHOTOGRAPHER

Custom Productions is owned and operated by Douglas McBride in Des Moines, Iowa.
I attended The University of Iowa in the Fine Arts Department of Photography from 1980 through 1987. During that time, I specialized in photography as art and began displaying prints in art galleries locally. I started my business called Custom Productions, and began photographing and videotaping weddings and concerts during this time. After graduation, I spent a year working on Hollywood films and a few more years in television production. Before moving to Des Moines, I began booking and promoting motion picture films in the Midwestern United States. Deciding that Des Moines was a great city to live in and a wonderful location to work out of, I opened Custom Productions in Des Moines, Iowa. I have won numerous awards and praise for my work, and am a past member of the Professional Photographers of Iowa. 

How We Work - You want it all, and you get it with Custom Productions. On nearly everything we photograph, you get all you photographic proofs AND the negatives. We also scan every image directly from the negative into a JPEG digital file saved onto a CD-ROM that you can view on your computer, DVD player, or use to print from at a photo lab or on your own printer at home. No need to worry about copyright restraints, you retain all rights to print and use your images any way you wish. You will have everything you need in your possession to make all the prints and use your images as you wish, for as long as you like.
