It only happens once.

The keynote happens once, and so does the last toast of the night.
I'm there to photograph both.

Portraits

Portraits for your team or your members, on site and on a schedule. I get through about thirty people an hour on average, and in a world dependent on trust, real portraits give your clients another reason to trust you.

Commercial

Venues and spaces, product and food, and the brand photographs a company needs that aren't an event.

Strategy

Photography is my business. Alongside it I build go-to-market functions: market entry, a first sales motion, pipeline where there wasn't any. Some clients hire me for a multi-day content engagement, some for a few months of commercial strategy, and some for both.

What that looks like

What people say
