About Us
CSI is the online home of Photograds.com, North America's premier provider of commencement and graduation photographic services.
We photograph tens of thousands of graduates at some the nation's leading institutions.
CSI was founded on a basic principal of providing outstanding service, high technology digital image capture, state-of-the-art finished print production and use of the Internet as the most efficient and attractive means of displaying, marketing and producing these cherished moments in time.
All of us at CSI simply love being in the business of commencement. It's an event that's all about knowledge gain, realizing accomplishment and achievement. It's also one of the most significant turning points in life and, it's about family. What a great place for us to work.
For us to have the opportunity to be a part of and capture forever these cherished moments in time is a privilege. We will always treat our customers with this in mind, doing all that we can to "get it right." This philosophy should always be apparent in our encounters with you. If it is not, please let us know.
CSI is built rock-solid on creating value for our customers. We are a more focused, higher technology and superior quality commencement photograph producer than any other in this business. Yet, our product pricing is comparable to, or even below that of lesser quality photographic producers.
Having attended over one-thousand commencement ceremonies over a twenty-plus year career, CSI's management provides a level of experience that is simply second to none. Through this mixture of positive and, less-than-positive experiences, CSI's involvement in commencement planning and execution can bring fresh ideas to an event that is usually limited to only once per year for most colleges and universities.
CSI realizes that commencement is the ultimate public relations event. It is the culmination of all that transpires throughout the year and is the most important day on every college and university campus. Our participation in providing an indelible and lasting memory of one's college days, can greatly impact the positive bond that institutions strive to build with their new Alumni.
Our software systems are conceived, designed and developed in-house resulting in proprietary and innovative approaches to event execution, image capture, graduate identification, order placement, finished photograph printing and customer order fulfillment.
CSI's digital photography equipment is continually being turned over and upgraded as we lead the industry in the constantly changing and revolutionary marriage of the digital camera, the PC and the Internet.
Simplicity, service and quality are the hallmarks of our business. We look forward to your enjoying these aspects of our service.
