About Us

Capitol PhotoInteractive is a full-service professional photography and digital studio, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

Capitol PhotoInteractive has become known as one of the best go-to companies for industrial photography, portrait photography, digital media creation, Web design, print and multimedia development in Fairfield County.The company prides itself on a unique customer service, which caters to the clients' needs. Being friendly and open to its customers is one of the company's biggest attributes.

 

Regina Madwed, took over the business after her husband, Steven Madwed, passed away. Regina began working at the company 15 years ago as a studio manager. When Steven died, Regina became the principle photographer for Capitol Photo Interactive.

Among her recent photo assignments have been ad campaigns and events for Gov. M. Jodi Rell, former First Lady Barbara Bush, Probate Judge Paul Ganim, Tony Snow and U.S. Sen. John McCain and Mayor Rudy Guliani.
 
Focusing on the Photo side of Capitol PhotoInteractive, Regina uses this friendliness not only as a way to retain her clients, but also as a way to capture people in her photographs because they become more relaxed as they are getting their photograph taken.
 
Capitol PhotoInteractive was one of the first studios in Fairfield to use digital photography. The digital process allows customers to review their photographs immediately after the portrait is taken, and Regina’s expertise with Photoshop enables her to work with the customer to retouch the photograph and help them look the way they want to. This is done both in portrait and commercial photography.

Ellen Rothwax focuses on the Interactive side of Capitol PhotoInteractive.  She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and has been working with Regina since August of 2000.  Employing her creative and programming skills, Ellen concentrates on designing and developing websites, multimedia presentations, logo designs, graphic arts layout and design as well as photo retouching and manipulation. She enjoys meeting with clients to discuss their marketing objectives and makes every effort to guide her clients to the most economical means of achieving these goals.  Ellen especially enjoys captivating a client’s visualization of their ideas and implementing it into a finished product for them.
