Photography Services

From the Ground to the Sky, and Everywhere In Between

For over 25 years, I’ve been chasing light, capturing stories, and turning fleeting moments into lasting visuals. My work spans the spectrum, from the peaks of the Rockies to the inner-workings of factories, television, movie and stage sets lit with adrenaline, quiet portraits to high-energy brand campaigns. I’ve shot in hurricanes, tornadoes, in remote wilderness under starlight, from helicopters and sea planes, on rooftops and waterslides, and in boardrooms and trade shows, always with the same goal: to create images that feel alive and connect with the audience.

What sets my photography apart is perspective, both in how I see the world and how I frame it. Whether it's capturing the raw power of industry, the elegance of architecture, or the energy of a live concert, I approach each project with creativity, technical precision, and a deep respect for the story behind the shot.

Below is a collection of photography services I offer, each one crafted with care, experience, and a touch of edge.

Aerial Drone Photography

Elevate your story, literally. My aerial drone photography captures the world in ways the eye can’t see, revealing patterns, scale, and beauty from breathtaking new heights. Whether soaring over rugged landscapes, gliding through cityscapes, or sweeping across a set, every shot is designed to add drama, depth, and cinematic scale. It’s not just about flying a drone, it’s about crafting images that make people feel something from the sky down.

Architectural Photography

From historic brick facades in LoDo to cutting-edge glass towers in RiNo, Denver’s architecture tells a story of contrast, creativity, and bold design. My architectural photography captures the soul of these structures, how they rise, reflect, and live within the landscape. With an eye for symmetry, texture, and the play of light, I turn buildings into visual statements that resonate with intention and presence. Whether it's modern minimalism or timeless craftsmanship, every frame is a tribute to the art of space.

Astro Photography

When the sun sinks behind the Rockies, the real show begins. My astrophotography captures the cosmic dance above Colorado’s most iconic peaks, where starlight kisses stone and time seems to stand still. From the swirling core of the Milky Way to moonlit mountain silhouettes, each image is a quiet collision of wonder and wilderness. These aren’t just photos of the night sky, they’re invitations to dream, to explore, and to remember how vast and beautiful our world truly is.

Behind the Scenes Photography

My behind-the-scenes photography captures the heartbeat of film and video production, the quiet intensity before "Action!", the laughter between takes, the grit, grind, and magic of a crew in motion. Whether it's the flicker of a monitor glow or the still focus of a director mid-scene, these moments tell their own story. This is where the process becomes poetry.

Commercial Advertising Photography

Commercial photography should do more than look good, it should sell the story, spark emotion, and drive results. I create bold, strategic imagery that brings brands, products, and people to life with style and purpose. From high-impact advertising to lifestyle campaigns and branded content, every shot is designed to connect, convert, and leave a lasting impression. This is where creativity meets commerce, and your vision becomes visual.

Concert Photography

Colorado’s music scene pulses with energy, from the iconic red sandstone of Red Rocks to the gritty intimacy of Denver’s underground venues. My concert photography captures more than just performances, it freezes the sweat, the spotlight, the scream of a guitar solo mid-flight. Whether it’s a sold-out amphitheater echoing under the stars or a dimly lit dive bar shaking with sound, I chase the raw emotion and electric atmosphere that make live music unforgettable. Every shot is a front-row ticket to the soul of the show.

Corporate Photography

Corporate photography doesn’t have to be cold. I specialize in capturing the people, places, and purpose behind your brand with clarity, confidence, and creativity. Whether it’s executive portraits, team culture, branded content, or event coverage, I deliver images that reflect professionalism without losing personality. Because great business photography should do more than document—it should inspire trust, spark connection, and elevate your story.

Event Photography

From packed dance floors to quiet candid glances, I capture the moments that make your event unforgettable. Whether it’s a wild celebration, a polished corporate gathering, or something in between, I blend into the background while snapping the shots that bring the day back to life. No stiff poses, no staged scenes, just real people, real energy, and real memories, captured as they happen.

Headshot Photography

Forget stiff poses and fake smiles—your headshot should actually look like you, just on your best day. I shoot bold, modern portraits that capture confidence, character, and just the right amount of edge. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, or executive who refuses to blend in, we’ll create images that stand out in all the right ways. No cookie-cutter backdrops. No awkward angles. Just striking, scroll-stopping shots that make people say, “Damn, that’s a great photo.”

Industrial Photography

Where sparks fly, machines hum, and hard hats meet hard work, industrial photography captures the grit, precision, and power that drive progress. I document the soul of industry through striking visuals that highlight process, scale, and skill, whether it's a towering refinery, a welding arc frozen mid-flare, or the quiet focus of craftsmanship in motion. These aren’t just images of work being done, they're stories of innovation, strength, and the people who make it all happen.

Landscape Photography

My lens has chased light across alpine peaks, desert plains, remote coastlines, and everything in between. While Colorado’s wild beauty is home base, my landscape photography spans the globe, capturing the raw, untamed soul of places both iconic and undiscovered. Each image is more than scenery, it’s a moment of stillness, awe, and connection to the world around us. Whether born in the thin air of the Rockies or beneath foreign skies, these landscapes tell stories shaped by earth, light, and time.

Macro Photography

Macro photography reveals a hidden world, textures, patterns, and tiny moments we often overlook. From the shimmer of an insect’s wing to the intricate folds of a flower petals or the surface of everyday objects seen in a new way, I capture the extraordinary within the ordinary. With a sharp eye and a steady lens, I bring the smallest subjects into sharp, stunning focus, turning detail into drama, and scale into storytelling. This isn’t just close-up photography, it’s a deeper look at the magic hiding in plain sight.

Photojournalism

Photojournalism is more than taking pictures, it’s chasing truth with a camera in hand. I capture real moments as they unfold: raw, unscripted, and unfiltered. Whether it’s the quiet tension before a protest, the resilience in a survivor’s eyes, or the heartbeat of a community in motion, my images tell the stories that words alone can’t. This is visual storytelling with purpose, honest, human, and built to make you feel something.

Portrait Photography

These aren’t your grandma’s portraits. I capture people in their element, raw, real, and unapologetically themselves. No forced smiles. No awkward angles. Just bold, honest imagery that reflects who you really are when no one’s yelling “say cheese.” Whether it’s gritty, moody, wild, or wonderfully weird, these portraits have edge, energy, and soul. Because the best version of you doesn’t need to pose, it just needs to show up.

Product Photography

I don’t just photograph products, I give them presence. With a focus on bold composition, unexpected angles, and purposeful lighting, I turn everyday objects into visual experiences. Whether it’s handcrafted goods, high-end tech, or lifestyle products, my approach is anything but ordinary. Each image is designed to grab attention, spark curiosity, and tell your brand’s story, because great product photography doesn’t just show what you sell, it shows why it matters.

Sports Photography

Sports move fast, your photography should keep up. I capture the intensity, grit, and split-second drama that define high-impact athletic moments. Whether it's the roar of the crowd, the tension before the play, or the raw emotion after the win, my lens is there to lock it in with precision and power. From pro arenas to underground competitions, these aren’t just action shots, they’re visual adrenaline.

Wedding and Engagement Photography

Your love story isn’t cookie-cutter, your photos shouldn’t be either. I capture the in-between moments, the quiet glances, the wild laughter, and the unscripted magic that makes your connection one of a kind. Whether it's an epic mountain elopement, a backyard “I do,” or a just-engaged adventure session, I focus on emotion over perfection and story over stiff poses. These aren’t just photos, they’re memories you can feel.
