Commercial Photography in Chicago, IL
Automotive, aviation and industrial campaign photography for Chicago brands and agencies, produced by a Texas crew that travels nationally.
Book a Portfolio Review →Chicago agencies have no shortage of photographers. What they often need is a specialist who has already solved the exact problem in front of them, whether that is a jet on a ramp at dusk or a race car at speed.
I am a commercial photographer based in Dallas, represented by Wonderful Machine, and my work for American Airlines, BMW, Cadillac, Samsung and NTT IndyCar has taken me well beyond Texas. For Chicago projects I travel with my own crew, or hire trusted local crew when that serves the production better.

Why Chicago Agencies Bring In a Texas Specialist

The same production approach behind work for American Airlines, BMW and Cadillac, applied to your campaign.
A Crew That Already Works Together
I prefer to travel with my own team for consistency, and I can staff locally when the budget or schedule calls for it.
Transparent Travel
Travel costs are added to the estimate up front, so there are no surprises after the shoot.
Working in Chicago and the Midwest
I take on projects in Chicago, the suburbs and across the Midwest, from downtown offices to manufacturing plants and airports. For work in Texas, see commercial photography in Dallas and commercial photography in Houston.
Commercial Photography in Chicago: FAQ
Are you based in Chicago?
No. I am based in Dallas and travel to Chicago for commercial projects. Travel costs are included in the estimate.
Do you bring your own crew?
I prefer to bring my own crew because we have a working relationship that keeps shoot days efficient, and I can hire local crew in Chicago when that makes more sense.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes. Much of my national work, including American Airlines, BMW and Cadillac, came through agencies. I work inside your creative direction and keep the outcome ahead of my own process.
How are usage rights handled?
Usage rights are part of every estimate after we talk through where the images will run, for how long and in which markets.
Do you shoot video too?
Yes. My team shoots video alongside stills, with FAA Part 107 licensed crew for aerials.
