we are a Visual Production Company focused on serving businesses and professionals in the NC TRIAD and beyond.
We offer our professional services with easy booking and payment while putting quality and service at the front of all we do.
REAL TRIAD is a collection of professionals headed by Pilot Mountain, NC local, and photographer Chandler Queen. We have been in the visual marketing business for a long time. Whether we are producing content for a nationwide home-builder or photographing a local brewer’s new IPA — our strategy is simple.
Capture the vision of our client, and serve their needs to the best of our creative ability.
We take great pride in our real, beautifully accurate photos and compelling, story-driven videos. We go the extra mile on the front end and spend extra time and effort on the back end in the editing room to finalize a product that you'll be proud to display. There's nothing quite like REAL TRIAD visual marketing!
meet the real Triad team
chandler queen
Real Triad CEO and Vintage bike collector
Chandler graduated from Appalachian State with a BA in Commercial Photography and a minor in Entrepreneurial Studies. Driven by his passion for quality and a keen eye for composition, he’s been wowing our clients ever since he came on board. Quick to jump into any opportunity camera first, however, you will NOT find him willingly on the receiving end of that camera. No pictures, please. In his off time, you’ll find him enjoying mountain trails with his lovely wife, Cassidy, and hound dog, Lucy. He also has a collection of an absurd amount of vintage bikes.
Meet The REAL Boone Team
PAUL SHERAR
Real Boone CEO AND CHIEF COFFEE DRINKER
Paul has visually documented over 120 international humanitarian assignments in 65+ countries over the last 20 years and contracts for a variety of commercial clients as well (www.paulsherar.com). His eye for composition and storytelling carries into his commercial work, and his compassion for people demands a how-can-I-help attitude. Paul is the CEO and founder of our parent company, REAL BOONE. He also holds the unofficial position at the Local Lion Coffee Shop as the top, exclusive purchaser of Guatemalan Whole Bean.
EVAN FRANCE
REAL BOONE STUDIOS • CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND CAN RUN FASTER THAN THE REST OF US
Evan heads up our commercial studio in Boone. Hailing from the west, he brings a fresh energy and creative edge to our brand-centric photo and video department. Dedicated to his work (www.evanfrance.com) and always up for the next adventure with his lovely wife, Maryn. He’s sure to be an asset on any production shoot and loves a good org chart. Even though he shoots Canon we still love him.
SJ BENDER
REAL BOONE VISUALS • PHOTOGRAPHER AND LOVER OF A GOOD MID-CENTURY MODERN BUILD
SJ is a fresh grad out of Appalachian State’s Commercial Photography Department, with a concentration in Architectural Photography. Being well organized and great communicator, she’s definitely an asset to the team. When she’s not photographing homes shes spending time with her fiancé (Zane) and horse (Reba). You’d also be surprised at her collection of project cars. Her Subaru was voted the coolest on the RealBoone Team.
JAMIE SHERAR
REAL BOONE MOMENTS • PHOTOGRAPHER/MANAGER/STYLIST/SNACK CABINET STOCKER/PEOPLE WRANGLER/CHIEF BEAUTIFIER/CHILD CARE EXPERT/DESIGNATED DREAMER/GOURMET CHEF/KEEPER-ON-TRACKER
Jamie graduated from Appalachian State with a degree that has too many words for us to remember. Jamie heads our REAL BOONE Moments department, specializing in Weddings and Portraits. She excels at finding ways to beautify her surroundings and capture beauty in her camera lens as well. Clients love her ease of personality and ability to some how herd everyone to the appropriate goal line. Like Chandler, she’d sooner be found behind the scenes than in front of the camera.
ADAM PFLEDERER
REAL BOONE MOMENTS • PHOTOGRAPHER AND DESIGNATED HYPE MAN FOR ALL PHOTO SHOOTS AND STAFF EVENTS
Adam graduated from some random university in Ohio with a BA in Business Marketing. A stellar photographer (www.adampflederer.com), we pull from Adam’s marketing strengths while also benefiting from his creative photographic edge. Quick to help people feel comfortable, he consistently makes you think that you’re funnier than you actually are and holds the standing record for saying “Let’s Go!” the most amount of times in a single photo shoot.
ANNESSA JOHNSTON
REAL BOONE MOMENTS • PHOTOGRAPHER AND JUST THE NICEST
Annessa has also travelled the world with Samaritan's Purse, but now as a mother of two youngins (she prefers the home life). She has a keen eye for composition and sure to help put your fam at ease. Years of experience behind a camera and, well… just the nicest human.
what people are saying about us
“Beautiful pictures, love their work”
“Highly recommend Real Triad Visuals. Their photos are beautiful and a necessity for a short term rental. Both Chandler and Paul are great at communicating and easy to work with. I’ve had nothing but pleasant experiences with them.”
“Pictures are literally perfect and represent properties so well!”
“I’m a real estate broker and have worked with Real Triad for over a year now. Their work is of the highest quality and brings a lot of experience to the table. They are professional, diligent and make sure that their pictures capture the perfect angle. I don’t use anyone else for my listings and I appreciate the quality of work they present to my sellers. They are my point person when it comes to photography. They come highly recommended!”
“Chandler is professional and focused. He prides himself in producing high-quality images and has a wonderful personality. His photos are so awesome. I would recommend him anytime!”
“ I love the photos...I love that there’s a way to schedule and pay online. I like that the pictures aren’t overly doctored.”
“The Real Triad team is extremely professional and talented. They gave us quality photos of our Air BnB and detailed shots of the space, which were nice to use as backdrops in our ads and brochures. The drone photos they took of the area for us were just as amazing as the indoor photos of our space. Their team is also very easy to talk with. I would highly recommend Real Triad Visuals for your commercial photography needs.”
