Environmental portraits
Often called “workplace portraits” this genre of photography is easily one of my favorites. Articulating the subject’s life and work through their environment. People in their space. Sometimes studio backdrops don’t cut it. Enter the environmental portrait. Every aspect of the image must be considered to create a genuinely insightful picture.

My approach and background
I began shooting headshots about 15 years ago on editorial and advertising assignments for Madison Magazine, Milwaukee Magazine, and Chicago Magazine. Each assignment was unique. Locations and subjects ranged from politicians in the Wisconsin Capitol, bartenders mixing drinks to bank CEOs in a vault to portraits of Green Bay Packers quarterback legend Bart Starr. These early assignments forced me to work efficiently, under deadline, problem-solve on the spot, and manage personalities.
Today, I draw on those experiences to create modern yet timeless headshots, portraits, and environmental portraits. I keep the set comfortable, and free.
