Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, is also commonly known as “The Birthplace of America.” As home of the first Continental Congress and the signing of the Declaration of Independence, as well as the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, the city has a rich history as a focus of the New World.
But “The Cradle of Liberty” is not just a historical heavyweight, it’s a longtime booming center of industry and commerce. Philadelphia, the sixth most populous city in the United States is home to four Fortune 500 companies, as well as research hospitals, nationally acclaimed universities, world-renowned museums, small businesses, startups, an expanding skyline, and more than 81,900 commercial properties.
With all that corporate Philly has to offer, customers need to get a sense of what kind of prospective businesses they’re engaging with. Philadelphia corporate photographers help “The City of Neighborhoods” reinforce what every business, large or small, has and needs: people. The essential task for every corporate photographer is to help a business establish or reestablish trust. People work here. We do business with people.
At Wonderful Machine, corporate photography “broadly encompasses the world of business, often showing people dressed in business attire in business environments doing business-like things. This can be shot in reportage, lifestyle, portrait, or conceptual styles.”
Whether it’s for a commercial or editorial project, Philadelphia corporate photographers can get the job done. We’ve done the research. Here is a list of Wonderful Machine’s selections for the seven best corporate photographers in Philadelphia.

In this spirit, her images capture the genuine nature of each individual.

Julie is collaborating with a range of artists to inspire and create underwater photographs, and donates 100% of the proceeds to Charity Water.

James Wasserman is an editorial photographer formerly based in Beijing, China and now residing in Philadelphia, PA. He writes:
In the last ten years it has been fascinating to be a witness to China’s explosive economic growth. Photographing how China’s diverse class, ethnic and societal groups have shifted has been one of my most challenging assignments. I’d like to think that I’m coming back to the the USA and my new home in Philadelphia with a new appreciation of what “home” is and how I can contribute to telling its story. China has been a great opportunity to hone those skills.
His clients include: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, The Guardian, Siemens, Audi, Apple, Mercedes, Marie Claire, The United Nations, The Economist, The Financial Times, Stanford University, The University of Chicago, Goldman Sachs, and Sandvik.
