Professional Photography Headshots, Boulder, CO

Jeff Finkelstein, Founder Customer Paradigm

My passion and hobby is photography.

I often ski with a DSLR camera. I volunteer as a photographer at my daughter’s elementary school. I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, done headshots and product photos.

I’ve had a camera in my hand since the 1980s, when I started with a Canon AE-1 35 mm film camera. I’ve lugged camera gear up the sides of mountains in the French alps, through the desert of the Middle East, and the jungles of South America.

I took all of the photographs on this page (and throughout the site), with the exception of by bio photo (right) that my daughter took.

I founded Customer Paradigm in 2002. 12,600+ projects later, I still love what we’re doing, and I love that the premise of the company – customer-centric thinking – is still just as valid and relevant today as it was back in 2002.

Back then (before Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, the iPhone, Amazon Prime, Gmail or Shopify), I saw that the companies that were succeeding online were the ones that were focused on the end customer experience.

The name of the company, Customer Paradigm, was based on the assumption that end customers increasingly have control over their purchasing experience. Buying online, interacting with people based on interest instead of geography – all of this was made possible by the Web.

In 2002, we helped businesses with three things: Acquiring new customers, retaining existing ones, and interacting with them online.

In 2019, the underlying goals are the same, but strategies and tactics are in many cases radically different.

My favorite part of the day is talking time to be behind the camera, and create amazing professional headshots that allow you to shine.  And be proud of who you are.

Let me know – I’d love to photograph you! Call today: 303.473.4400.

Thanks! – Jeff
