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…
Recently I did an editorial photo shoot for PUNCH magazine. They have a series profiling long-time bartenders and they hired me to photograph Chuck Sypult, barkeep at the famed Indianapolis restaurant, St. Elmo Steakhouse. In this blog post I share some of my favorite shots. They only needed one photo, a horizontal image, for the…
Holiday decor designed and photographed for Engledow Group in Indianapolis area.
Earlier this year I headed up to northern Indiana to visit Angola Wire, a company that makes wire displays for retail use and custom wire parts.

When a client needs enough photos for a two-day shoot, but day 1 gets rained out completely, it means a 15-hour, sunrise to sunset shoot. Add to that carrying 20 pounds of gear over miles of trails, up and down hills and rocky terrain, and you have one hard-core day of shooting. I was up for the challenge,…
