I'm a photographer in Denver and I spend most of my time making images for outdoor brands, both on location in Colorado's mountains and in my Denver studio.

That means trail running campaigns at first light in the Indian Peaks. Ski and goggle content shot on snow for apparel and eyewear brands. Product photography where the "studio" is a ridgeline and the backdrop is whatever the Rockies decided to do that morning. And when the work calls for a controlled environment, I have a fully equipped studio in Denver for product, lifestyle, and campaign work that needs clean light and repeatable setups.

I've been doing this long enough that I can read the weather, manage a production at altitude, and know which trailheads to avoid on a Saturday in July.

I shoot for Scarpa, Osprey, Glade Optics, Brooks, Optic Nerve, and Atomic. I've had editorial work published in Outside Magazine and Well Magazine. I handle both stills and video, and I work lean on purpose. Small crew, fast decisions, and the kind of flexibility that matters when you're three miles from the truck and the light is changing.

The brands I work best with are the ones you'd find on the wall at REI. Small to midsize companies that need real mountain content shot by someone who actually lives here and knows the landscape. Not a production house flying in from LA. Just a photographer who's already in the field.

If that's what you're looking for, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
