A Look Behind the Scenes of a Commercial Photo Shoot
Let’s go behind the scenes of a commercial photoshoot I did recently. This was a 5 day shoot at locations like small businesses in Indianapolis, homes in the city & the suburbs, and out on a family farm in Morocco, Indiana.
Thanks to Young & Laramore for bringing me on for this shoot. It was a fantastic week working with some very talented creatives!
Stand-Ins
A lot of behind the scenes photo opportunities feature crew acting as stand-ins as we set up and fine-tune the lighting.

It’s Me. Hi. I’m the Photog, It’s Me.
I’m nearly always photographer and rarely a subject, so it’s great to have a record of my existence. Thanks to Jose who took photos of me whenever he had a camera in hand.
Early Morning Art
Getting to a rural location at 6AM lead to an opportunity for some artsy black & white shots as the crew arrived.
D’Ya Like Dags?
We had many lovely pups on and around set, so here are my favorite dog photos.
