What Is Redcandle Photography & Design?

Updated

Redcandle Photography & Design is a photography and design studio based in Bellingham / Seattle, WA, run by Joel Litwin. It offers photography, graphic design, video production, and web design and promotion services, and it describes its clients as artists, non-profits, and small businesses. The site is currently accepting clients for graphic design, photography, video production, and web design work.

What services does Redcandle offer?

The site groups its work into four main areas, plus a set of additional design services:

Service What the site says it covers
Photography "Thoughtful imagery that captures the essence of what you do"
Graphic design "Captivating designs that get your message across quickly and effectively"
Video Promotional and marketing video productions that tell your story
Web Web design, email marketing, social media, and digital promotion
Additional services CD / DVD design, book design, and more

Each of the four main areas links to a portfolio, so you can review past work before deciding whether the style fits your project.

Who is behind it, and who does it serve?

Joel Litwin describes himself as having loved photography and design since childhood, with decades of work in marketing and promotion. He also identifies as a life-long professional touring and recording artist, and says that background makes him familiar with the needs of artists, non-profits, and small businesses.

The client list on the site reflects that mix: it includes Conservation Northwest, Bellair Charters, Quinault Indian Nation, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Okanogan Nation Alliance, Mercy Housing – Sterling Meadows, Western Washington University, Central Washington University, National Public Radio, Mission Folk Music Festival, Whatcom Jazz Music Arts Center, SB Nation – Vox Media, and others.

What should you check before getting in touch?

  • Location fit: the studio presents itself as serving Bellingham / Seattle, WA. If your project is elsewhere, ask whether remote work is possible before assuming it.
  • Service fit: the listed strengths are photography, design, video, and web/promotion. If you need something outside those areas, confirm it directly rather than inferring from "and more."
  • Portfolio review: the site's Featured Projects section shows only "a few" examples, so browse the individual portfolios for photography, graphic design, video, and web to judge whether the visual style matches your needs.
  • Pricing and availability: the site does not publish rates or scheduling details. Those need to be confirmed through the contact page.

The site includes client testimonials praising the work — for example, a Travel Washington Gold Line general manager called the result "absolutely beautiful," and a WA State Dept of Transportation program manager said it "looks terrific." These are the studio's own selections, so treat them as a starting point and review the portfolios yourself.
