Our Website Will WOW YouBy Mike Klemme

Next time you are in Enid, Oklahoma, you have a personal invitation to join me at my gallery, have a cup of coffee, and browse through photographs at your own pace. In fact, I can hardly wait to tell you about some of the ways other clients use images to complement design, tell stories, share histories, calm patients, encourage buyers and so much more. Together, you and I will find the perfect images for whatever your project.

Traveling to Oklahoma may not be convenient for most of you, so until then, we hope you will visit our new website. We designed it to be as close to a conversation and a personal tour of our collection as possible. From the minute you enter the site, you choose what you want to look at, you explore at your own pace, and you can even schedule a personal consultation at your convenience.

More about the WOW WebsiteYou may visit the Art Gallery, the Golf Gallery or Klemme b2b, especially for design professionals. Learn about our attention to detail at every stage–from photography and printing to framing and customer care.

Of course we believe every photo is worth at least 1000 words, and often our photos speak for themselves, but we want to website to be even better than our photographs. The new site is packed with helpful information to help you select what you want for your personal or business decor. Learn more about our company, gather design ideas, and read what some

of our customers have to say as you wander through our galleries and pages. We have even added a special section of frequently asked questions to help fill in details. Check it out.

Most importantly, as much as we love our site, we want you to know that we know photography is personal. If you find exactly what you want and want to order online, we are set up for that. If you prefer a more personal experience, or even a customized shoot at your location, we love working one-on-one with our customers, too!

Enter our ART portal if you are interested in our books, prints or

framed prints of any of Mike’s photography.

Golf enthusiasts will love the GOLF portal to

explore Mike’s collection of

international golf course photography.

This “members” portal is for design

professionals–it’s a business to business

site for design consultation.

Check back often. We add new images to our portals regularly.

Let your walls tell YOUR story!by Molly Helm

How many times have you entered a beautiful building, whether it be a hospital, medical clinic, corporate headquarters, physician’s office, or government building and were totally turned off by the “old lady” artwork that was placed on the walls just to take up space. Or how about that artwork in the out of date frame with the image that has been in place so long that it has turned blue and has nothing to do with its environment?

It’s a new day! Customers and employees expect and deserve more. Why waste the acres and acres of space on the walls of your facility with artwork that just fills space? Leverage that space with messaging. We have been involved with a number of successful messaging installations in healthcare, corporate, government and entertainment environments.

Branding is all about emotion. We assist our clients in extending that brand to the walls of

your facility. After all, branding should be exercised at every touchpoint of customers and employees as they are the number one evangelists of your brand. If they aren’t living and breathing the brand, no one will.

Our chosen medium is still photography. Photography allows us to get the message tight. To get the specific subject matter that conveys the exact message of the business or organization. We depend heavily on locally produced imagery to tailor our customer’s message. We learn about the story you want to tell and then go about pulling images from our extensive library and creating new images to craft a coherent message throughout your facility.

We’d love to be your partner in letting your walls resonate your brand.

Our turnkey service includes initial planning and image creation; space design; printing, matting and framing[link to matte/frame choices?] (all done by our staff in our 4,000 square foot production facility) and installation of the frames on your walls.Expanding from photography into interior design projects was a natural extension for our company. Photographer, Mike Klemme, has a longstanding love of architecture and realizes the importance of beautiful artwork for the overall ambience and livability of any structure. He personally reviews all floor plans and works with the developer, facilities manager, and /or interior designer to determine the ideal frame/matte combinations for the selected images to tell your story. One of his philosophies to is deliver something your audience will always remember.Choose from an archive of nearly one million images from our collection, or commission images especially for your project, or a use a combination of the two. Our desire is to help you create a space that fits you, your taste, and your budget.We rely on six essential resources as we work together to create the ideal space for you.1.LISTEN — Understanding is the foundation of every successful design process. Our team listens to you to be sure we develop ideas that will fulfill your needs, satisfy your sensibilities, and happen within your budget. We will want to learn about your business, your customers, your employees and the traffic patterns within your facility. We need to understand the opportunities and constraints offered by your project and the economics that will drive our decision-making process. What we create will respond to everything we hear.2..LEARN — We have a lot to learn. We collect information about your company, the building, the intent of the architect and designer, and then imagine a satisfying plan. We consult with all parties involved to develop solutions to any special challenges. We test our ideas with you

to see how they look and feel. Are we on the right track? Do we need to explore alternatives? Along the way, we learn to think and work together. We develop relationships to sustain your project and assure your comfort.3. BUDGET — We produce a detailed floor plan with each artwork located on the map. Along with the map, we include a spreadsheet that lists location (by room and wall) and the size and material of every piece proposed within the plan. We build budgets that anticipate costs for every aspect of your art project from conception to installation on your walls. This helps you budget by project and also room-by-room. We offer phased installation of the artwork for larger facilities, if you prefer. Combined, these documents give you a visual map and an accurate budget from which to make decisions and build timelines.4. DESIGN — Once we have learned details of your needs, our team can focus on searching for or creating custom artwork for your walls. We make sure every piece is appropriate for its space and audience. Once we have chosen our suggestions, we visit your site and SHOW you our plan. This has proven to be the best way to provide you with the ultimate confidence that the final installation will be exactly as they envisioned. 5. PRODUCTION — We find that careful planning always pays off. Clear plans allow us to proceed with confidence to complete your project. We use the same care and consideration invested in the design as we create your custom prints, frames, mattes and identity plates for each piece. All production occurs within our 4,000sf facility under the watchful eye of the artist. 6. INSTALLATION —Once the framed pieces are complete, we schedule a time to install to laser perfection including coordination by the artist.

Prepare to be amazed at the transformation of your space!

Looking for a Library of Photos on a tight budget?

Resident Photographer Program Imagine having Mike Klemme living at your resort, choosing the ideal days to shoot your course and landscaping. Then getting an archive of images to use... all at little or no direct cost to you.

Many golf resorts and international getaways have found this the perfect option for them. And Mike loves to travel! Two weeks of having Mike on location for the cost of room, board and airfare.

Now, he won’t live on your property permanently because he is an Oklahoma boy at heart, but he is always looking for his next adventure. After many successful Resident Photographer experiences, Mike is at the point of his career he would like to expand these options to include more than just one or two a year.

The Resident Photography Program is a win-win proposition. You get fabulous photos and Mike gets a little R&R in a gorgeous setting.

You’ll get a customized collection of world-class imagery to use any way you like–for printed materials, a new website, or as you choose. During his stay at your locale, Mike will dedicate several full days and many partial days to shooting what you need, plus add in some extra shots around your property. He could capture the essence of your resort with an outsider’s eyes, but also have time to settle in a bit more and get an insider’s view as well.

“If you have a golf resort that is remodeling, upgrading, or just wanting an updated look for your website or collateral materials, I hope you will consider this as an option. After all, where else can you get world class imagery of your resort in exchange for room nights?” says Klemme.

If you are interested in learning more about this as an option to expand your branding, please contact us.
