Hartman Benzon Media is a collaboration between us, the two guys you see pictured here, Sten Hartman and Jeff Benzon. We are professional photographers with over 35 years of combined experience in commercial photography, specializing in product, lifestyle, and event photography, with a penchant for fun. Basically, we’re working our dream job every day.

We aim to be your one-stop shop for all of your photo/video visual storytelling needs.

So what do we really do?

Food photography? Check. Architecture? Yup. Editorial and fashion? You know it. Professional headshots? Absolutely. Whatever your product, passion or purpose, we can help bring it to life.

As business partners and friends, we value collaboration. We work hand-in-hand through the conceptualization, shooting and editing processes to ensure our clients receive the strongest ideas and the best results. And, we have a lot of fun doing what we love, which hopefully means you will have fun working with us.

Take a closer look at our services here.

And where do we do it?

Generally, we work in and around Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, Carlisle, and Mechanicsburg, but we will travel just about anywhere if a project calls for it. That’s part of the fun.

We will work with you to determine the most appropriate location for a shoot. Sometimes it’s obvious. Sometimes it’s somewhere new. And sometimes the best location is our new 2,500-square-foot studio in Harrisburg.

We are one of the only commercial photography shops in Central Pennsylvania to offer a large-scale studio, complete with a cyc wall (essentially a massive white infinity wall) and editing bay, which means we can plan, create and finalize projects in one magical space.

We want to work with you…

We enjoy working with advertising and marketing agencies to help elevate their clients just as much as we enjoy serving as visual storytellers for businesses and individuals who come to us directly.

From a nationally known craft brewer to a worldwide commercial playground equipment manufacturer, we create and produce for clients in diverse categories, and we’re always looking to expand our horizons.

No matter who you are or how you find us, we will collaborate with you to transform your ideas into impactful imagery that aligns with your objectives.

…And we think you will want to work with us.

We approach our work with an unpretentious attitude and a healthy dose of both humor and heart.

We’re people people. (People persons? Ah, we don’t know. We’re image guys, not word guys.) We genuinely enjoy working with folks from diverse backgrounds and industries.

There is no better feeling than revealing a final product to a client and hearing that the goal has been exceeded. We simply love producing fresh, striking work.
