The Bergman Productions Story

Bergman Productions evolved rather than being created. Joe Wilson and his wife Becky Bergman started their business as JOE WILSON photographer LLC almost 10 years ago when Joe left the newspaper industry after an award-winning two-and-a-half-decade career. Back then, Joe focused exclusively on business-to-business commercial photography.

He was able to make this career change because Becky gave the company its seed funding and provided the family with a stable platform upon which they could build their company.

As the business grew, it became clear that their clients needed high-quality video work done in addition to still photography.

Now, Becky owns the business, and Joe handles the production and creative work. They are proud to be a woman-owned business, and Joe is very proud of his wife for making it all possible.

Even though the parent company remains JOE WILSON photographer LLC, they now do business as Bergman Productions as a respectful salute to Becky’s family history and her generous contribution to the family business.

Today, Bergman Productions operates in three key metropolitan areas: Portland, OR; Boise, ID; and Salt Lake City, UT. Joe spends considerable time on the road, commuting between these markets, ensuring that clients in all three regions receive the same level of attention and service. They also continue to travel throughout the Western United States for projects.

Joe is a commercial filmmaker and photographer who creates remarkable and compelling imagery for brands, corporations, non-profits, and individuals, whether in the studio or on location. His resourceful approach to image-making is supported by his years of experience in the news business, advertising, and media.

Joe is known for putting even the most camera-shy person completely at ease in front of the lens. His quick sense of humor and down-to-earth outlook allow him to connect with his clients and create powerful images. It also makes him fun on set and easy to collaborate with, even when resolving glitches that may surface during the shoot. He feels as comfortable using elegant and complex lighting constructs as he does using natural light.

Joe is skilled, capable, and inventive, and his versatility allows him to provide incredible images without relying on a single stylized look. He’s drawn to character and story-driven imagery that communicates ideas in a memorable way.

Becky’s business acumen and Joe’s artistic abilities make for a great team that provides their clients with effective and useful visual marketing and sales assets.
