Commercial Photography
As a seasoned Commercial Photographer and Videographer, I specialize in crafting compelling visual narratives that resonate with audiences. My commercial expertise spans a wide range of industries, including product photography, food and beverage, portraiture, beauty products and lingerie imagery. With a keen eye for detail, I excel in creating powerful imagery that not only highlights the subject but also evokes emotion, enhances brand identity, and captivates viewers.
Products & Food
Commercial Product Photography & Art in Chicago is where my career began after college, and over the years, I have built a reputation for creating compelling visual narratives that elevate brands. I went to Sony's Institute of Technology at Berkeley for my video education., and as a commercial photographer and videographer, I specialize in capturing imagery that highlights products, businesses, and services—invoking emotion, sparking interest, and ultimately engaging customers. Whether it’s showcasing the craftsmanship of a product, the personality behind a brand, or the essence of a service, my goal is to create images that not only tell a story but also drive results.
Portrait & Boudoir
To capture a true portrait, it’s essential to reveal a person’s personality—and that only happens when they feel completely at ease. My goal is to create a relaxed, comfortable environment where the camera fades into the background, allowing for genuine expressions and natural moments to shine through.
This is especially important in boudoir photography, where initial nerves are completely normal. However, once we begin, the experience becomes fun, empowering, and confidence-boosting. You’ll quickly find yourself feeling comfortable in your own skin, embracing the beauty of the moment, and appreciating the stunning images we create together. All it takes is that first step—book a session, and I’ll take care of the rest.
Corporate Headshots & Model Composites
Whether photographing model composites, CEOs for corporate brochures, business owners for social media, workers in action, or a student celebrating their graduation, my primary goal remains the same—to capture the essence of who they are. A great portrait is more than just a well-lit image; it’s a reflection of personality, confidence, and authenticity. To achieve this, I focus first on creating a comfortable, stress-free environment where my clients can relax and be themselves.
Real Estate Imagery
A picture is often worth a thousand words, especially when it comes to real estate. The right imagery has the power to captivate potential buyers, drawing them in and sparking their interest. A well-executed photograph can make a property, whether it’s a home, business, or any other real estate, stand out and leave a lasting impression.
As a professionally-trained photographer, I have a deep understanding of how to harness light and composition to create images that evoke a specific mood and generate successful results. Whether you're looking to highlight a home, mobile home, building, farm, or even just a kitchen or basement remodel, I am here to provide the marketing imagery that will best showcase your property. Every image is high-resolution and comes with unlimited usage rights, ensuring you have the perfect visual tools to impress both current and prospective clients.
Aerial & Drone Imagery
From a young age, my passion for flight and photography has shaped my career, taking me from watching jets at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport as a kid to flying in 4th generation fighter jets as a combat aerial photographer. My military experience capturing high-intensity operations has honed my ability to showcase the power and precision of aviation: an expertise I now bring to civilian aerial photography. As an FAA Certified Drone Pilot, I extend that same skill and vision to real estate, construction, storm damage assessments, wind energy sites, and more, delivering high-impact imagery from perspectives few can achieve. Whether it’s air-to-air photography, an airshow performance, or a unique aerial project, I’m dedicated to capturing stunning visuals that bring your vision to life.
Performing Arts & Sports
On the stage or on the field, every moment tells a story. My approach to both sports and performing-arts imagery is rooted in the same belief: the magic happens when you capture not just action, but essence. Whether it’s an athlete in full stride or an artist mid-performance, my goal is to freeze the movement, emotion, and atmosphere while revealing the personality and beauty of what they do. By working with dramatic or unpredictable lighting, anticipating peak moments, and using specialized equipment with a storyteller’s eye, I create images that bring out the soul of the person and the spirit of the event.
Video Products
Video is one of the most powerful tools businesses can use to tell their story. At Ironbear Studio, we specialize in crafting compelling narratives with stunning visuals that inspire and drive action. Video allows you to connect with your customers on an emotional level while making it easier for them to understand your products or services—ultimately boosting sales and customer satisfaction.
