Wisconsin Editorial Photographer and Wisconsin Commercial Photographer Mike Roemer’s blog.

Hi, I'm Mike Roemer, a commercial, corporate, industrial, agriculture and editorial photographer based in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

 

I've lived the photography business since childhood, first tagging along during my father's long newspaper photography career before ever carrying my own camera gear. My interest grew as I watched the fascinating process of my dad making black and white images appear while shaking trays of chemicals under the red lights of a developing room.

 

My professional career started with a ten-year stint as a newspaper photographer meeting tight deadlines, adapting to curve balls and making the famous and not-so-famous comfortable in front of my lens.

 

I returned to Green Bay in the mid-1990s to start my own business, and now regularly travel around the U.S. and internationally for my clients. I enjoy the creative challenge of combining unusual angles, lighting and lens options to produce the perfect commercial image.

 

I've won first place awards in Pictures of the Year International, National Press Photographers Best of Photojournalism and National Headliners, along with being a three-time winner in the Pro Football Hall of Fame photo contest.

 

I love the variety of projects I get to work on, from healthcare organization and foundation annual reports, high-energy casino and gaming shoots, industrial projects at locations as diverse as cheese manufacturers and steel plants, to corporate culture assignments and documenting the Green Bay Packers.

 

Thanks for looking!

Christmas Card Photos – Photo of Dog Wearing Reindeer Antlers

This week was Christmas card photo week.  I photographed my niece and nephew, Izzy and Zach, and their dog Buddy.  Buddy was nice enough to wear antlers for the photo.  A nice supply of treats helped. Hopefully a photobuyer looking for a photo of a dog wearing reindeer antlers will look here.   Judy and I took advantage of Green Bay’s fifth biggest snow fall of all time to have our photo taken with a snow shoeing theme by good friend and Green Bay photo assistant Matt Ludtke. I hope you all have a great holiday season and enjoy the posted photos.

Big Win For Wisconsin – Green Bay Men’s Basketball Over 20th Ranked Wisconsin.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the Wisconsin – Green Bay’s big 88-84 win in men’s basketball over Wisconsin in overtime at the Resch Center in Green Bay.  Wisconsin was ranked 20th in the nation prior to the game in the AP rankings and were fresh off a win over 6th ranked Duke a week earlier.  Being a Green Bay alumni and a Green Bay based commercial, editorial and sports photographer it was especially exciting to photograph.Wisconsin Wisconsin Green Bay BasketballWisconsin Wisconsin Green Bay BasketballWisconsin Wisconsin Green Bay BasketballWisconsin Wisconsin Green Bay BasketballWisconsin Wisconsin Green Bay Basketball

Photos From The Green Bay Packers vs Baltimore Ravens Monday Night NFL Football Game.

Here are a few photos of mine from the Green Bay Packers vs the Baltimore Ravens Monday night NFL game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.  A couple of Packers touchdowns, a Lambeau Leap and an overall of the stadium when they displayed an American flag during the national anthem.  It was a cold December night in Green Bay, but the Packers fans stayed warm with a Packers win.  I stayed warm with multiple layers of North Face.Ravens Packers FootballRavens Packers FootballRavens Packers FootballRavens Packers FootballRavens Packers FootballHere are a few photos of mine from the Green Bay Packers vs the Baltimore Ravens Monday night NFL game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.  A couple of Packers touchdowns, a Lambeau Leap and an overall of the stadium when they displayed an American flag during the national anthem.  It was a cold December night in Green Bay, but the Packers fans stayed warm with a Packers win.  I stayed warm with multiple layers of North Face.

News about my wife Judy.

Here is a link to story about my wife Judy and the recent position she accepted with the Catholic Diocese here in Green Bay. Judy is a very caring person and I’m very very proud of her.  Here are a couple of shots of Judy.  Just to prove she does exist.  If you would like to see additional photos of the Apostle Island of mine from both the summer and winter please visit this link.

Judy isn't a big fan of the cold, but she is a good sport and has a great sense of adventure.  Here she strikes a pose without me having to ask twice as we explore a lighthouse on Lake Michigan in some chilly weather.

Another example of her sense of adventure.  Exploring the frozen sea caves of the Apostle Islands.

Not Your Normal Healthcare Photography

A couple of weeks ago I was asked to shoot a selection of images to be used as a calendar for a healthcare client in Missouri.  I’ve done a number of other calendar shoots for this client, but for this shoot they wanted something out of the norm.  They wanted unique detail shots.  The hospital currently has two large expansion projects going on and a large fitness center they wanted to feature.  With the help of a creative director from the agency and my assistant, Matt Ludtke, we came up a nice selection of images that the hospital loved.  Here is a sampling of the images we shot.

Thanks for taking a look!
