This post is connected to the showing of my work at Cloud Walking in South Bend, Indiana. The images hanging at the coffee shop are all a part of my travel photography portfolio.

Highlights from a recent creative portrait studio session with Adam at Em En Art House in South Bend, Indiana.

In 2023, I continued photographing performances regularly. I worked to create images that not only highlighted individual characters in scenes but showcased more expansive sets and more dynamic interactions between characters, scenes, and lighting.

As I work through a commercial photo project, I constantly think about the composition and the details within the frame as I look for moments. I worked with wicked reflections, safety glasses, and finicky light in this manufacturing space to create some storytelling imagery.

I spent an hour with Sunjay and Milind in their company’s office in Granger, Indiana. With a single strobe blending with natural light, I came away with a couple of my favorite business portraits.

In the fall, I helped build a catalog of storytelling images that showcase the student experience at a higher education institution.

Creating storytelling food photography involves me getting close, utilizing off-camera strobes, and playing with the food.

Things got colorful in this creative portrait session with De’Aunte. We played with light, color, poses, concepts, and props to generate a unique and cohesive batch of images.
