Portrait Photographer

Portraits bring emotion to life in a photo. They share a glimpse into the subject’s world, showing not only what someone does, but who they are. As a people person, Brent genuinely enjoys connecting with those he works with as a portrait photographer. He is passionate about telling personal stories through his lens. But he also understands that getting photos taken can be uncomfortable for those in front of the camera.

Knowing how far compassion goes, Brent creates a friendly and relaxed atmosphere at portraiture shoots. He makes sure his subjects feel at ease and have fun creating and collaborating. As a result, not only do companies get portraits that suit business portrait or advertising needs. Subjects are excited to share their portraits, too.

Why work with Brent for your next portrait photoshoot

You know when you’ve seen a portrait that catches your eye and takes your breath away, right? The person in the image isn’t flat and lifeless. Instead, they seem almost as if caught mid-action. Personality beams through! Being able to see the unique personality of each subject is one skill needed for a professional portrait photographer. Knowing how to capture the precise moment in a shoot when that personality is expressed is another.

Brent has traveled the world in his work as a professional photojournalist. He’s captured thousands of subjects for restaurant photography, environmental portraiture, and business portraits. Working on-site with companies or providing casting services as needed, his team ensures a welcoming, dynamic portrait experience. No matter where. Every time.

Advertising portrait photographer

Social media photo sharing has made consumers more adverse to stock photos in print advertisements and digital campaigns. Professional advertising portraiture has to relay a massive amount of personality to get noticed. For business portraits, customers trust a company’s backstory more when they connect to the owner’s personality. Chef portraits can help viewers viscerally understand the chef’s restaurant or a new product they’re selling.

Brent employs his people skills and passion for storytelling in his work as an advertising portrait photographer. His skilled production team promises organized, easy production shoots and images that stand out from the crowd.
