About Image Entertainment

Image Entertainment is a web based business that offers some of the industries lowest prices with quality and creativity second to none! Since there are no overhead costs related to bricks and mortar, the enormous savings are passed on to our clients.

Owner and Master photographer Gene Hodnett has over 30 years of experience in all types of commercial and individual assignments such as corporate events, annual reports, catalog, fashion photography, fine art, weddings, portraits, and video productions.

My professional photography career began in 1979 with assignments in Europe, Asia, and the Carribbean. In 1986 after 7 years overseas, I returned to Hampton Roads and was awarded through competitive bidding the photography contract by the Navy Exchange. Our studio was located on base in building C9 until the new Navy Exchange Mall opened. We provided ALL retail photography services for 10 consecutive years.

 

For our civilian clients (non-military patrons) we operated two locations. One in the Bromley Shopping Center in Norfolk and the other one in Scores Plaza in Virginia Beach. During this period, we successfully provided video, photography, custom framing and operated the FIRST one hour digital imaging business in Hampton Roads. We serviced a multitude of patrons, Fortune 500 companies, municipalities, universities, and celebrities. We were the photographer for Governor Mark Warner's, Governor Tim Kaine's and President Barack Obama's campaigns.

 

Since 99% of all our photography assignments are done on location, by 2002 we moved all operations to a web based business. As a result, today's low prices are currently 40-50% lower than professionals working from a studio.

Weddings and corporate events are all at venues. Unique custom portraits are photographed at your home, office, with your car, plane, boat or motorcyle. Botanical Gardens, Waterside, and RedWing Park, are excellent locations for any type of photographs and provide true portraits of distinction or what I like to refer to as designer style master pieces... no two are alike.
