Press Release: RR Donnelley Premedia Technologies Significantly Expands
Photography Studios
R. R. Donnelley & Sons
Company
(NYSE: RRD) today announced that RR
Donnelley Premedia Technologies has
increased
its photography studio space to meet customer demand
nationwide.
The increase nearly doubles the
space of the company's Studio W26 in New
York
and of Omega Studios in
Chicago.
"RR Donnelley is one of the leading providers of
fashion and product
photography in North
America," said Mary Lee Schneider, President of
RR
Donnelley Premedia Technologies. "We
expanded in response to demand from
customers
who need high-quality photography, color services and digital
asset
management tools for images that will be
used in catalogs, on web sites and in
other
media."
The expansion of Studio W26 in New
York included an 80 percent increase
in
shooting space, enabling the studio to
accommodate up to five bays for
fashion
photography or up to 20 bays for
tabletop photography. The expansion
also
included space for equipment and
merchandise storage.
The expansion in
Chicago more than doubled the studio space at
RR
Donnelley's Omega Studios facility in
suburban Elgin. After the build-out,
the
facility has seven camera bays and 30,000
square feet of space, with room for
additional
growth.
These expansions are in addition to
the recently announced agreement with
SandBox
Studios in San Francisco and the re-launch of Omega Studios in
Dallas.
RR Donnelley also provides photography
services in Seattle, Wash., and
Portland, Ore.,
through the company's wholly owned Iridio Photography
studios.
