Founders look like founders, not like LinkedIn.
Brand photography for small businesses in the Hudson Valley and NYC — makers, shop owners, restaurants, studios, agencies, anyone who's tired of stock imagery doing their selling for them. Editorial in feel, documentary in approach.
I don't pose people. I show up at your shop, your studio, your kitchen — wherever the work actually happens — and I photograph you doing the work. The hands. The mess. The light through the window at 3pm. The version of your business a customer would see on a Tuesday, not the version that exists for a single styled shoot.
The whole story, in one shoot day.
Founder & team portraits
Editorial portraits that look like a magazine profile, not a corporate headshot. Made for your About page, press kit, podcast bookings, and the inevitable Forbes feature.
Product & in-situ
Your product where it lives — on the shelf, in a customer's hands, on the workbench, on the plate. Plus clean catalog frames when you need them for the shop page.
Behind-the-scenes
The making, the prep, the open kitchen, the loading dock at 6am. The unglamorous parts that, photographed honestly, are usually the most compelling thing your brand has to say.
One day on-site, a year of imagery.
- 01
Discovery call
30 minutes. You tell me who you are, who you sell to, where the imagery's going to live, and what's not working about the photos you have now. I send a shot list back the next day.
- 02
Half- or full-day shoot
I work alongside you — not interrupting you. Most small businesses get a full year of marketing imagery from a single 6-hour day. Returning quarterly is the next step up.
