For Creatives
FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS, MODELS + CREATIVE FOLKS
LET'S MAKE SOME COOL SHIT.
Not everything I photograph needs to be a traditional client session.
Some of my favorite work has come from getting together with other photographers, models, designers, stylists, artists, and creative people and basically saying, "Okay... what would be cool to make?"
Dude Man Bro Studio has always been about experimenting, learning, meeting good people, and creating photographs that feel a little different.
So if you make things too, this page is for you.
TEST SHOOTS + COLLABORATIONS
Have a concept you've been wanting to shoot?
Send it my way.
I'm always interested in working with models, photographers, designers, stylists, makeup artists, musicians, makers, and other creative folks when the project feels like a good fit.
That could mean fashion, editorial, portraiture, film, coastal work, boudoir, cosplay, something weird in the woods, or an idea that doesn't really have a category yet.
I'm especially interested in projects that give everyone involved something useful for their portfolio.
Collaborations are considered on a project-by-project basis.
If you've got a mood board, send it. If you've only got half an idea, that's fine too. We can figure it out together.

MODELS + PORTFOLIO BUILDING
New model? Experienced model? Somewhere in between?
I'm down.
Test shoots are a great way for both of us to experiment without the pressure of a traditional client session. We can work through different outfits, locations, lighting, posing, and concepts while creating photographs we can both actually use.
I regularly work with creatives on:
Editorial concepts
Model portfolio building
Fashion
Lifestyle
Boudoir + artistic portraiture
Coastal concepts
Studio work
Film photography
Experimental projects
Some shoots are collaborative/TFP and others are paid depending on the project, scope, and who's approaching whom. We'll always figure that out before anyone commits.
PHOTOGRAPHERS
Photography doesn't have to be a competition.
Seriously.
I love meeting other photographers, shooting alongside people with completely different styles, talking gear, swapping ideas, scouting locations, and seeing how somebody else interprets the exact same scene.
Whether you've been shooting for ten years or bought your first camera last Tuesday, you're welcome here.
I'm always open to:
Photo walks
Collaborative shoots
Styled shoots
Location scouting
Photographer meetups
Second shooting
Assisting
Portfolio days
Creative experiments
Just grabbing coffee and talking photography
If you're visiting Oregon and want somebody who knows the coast, hit me up. I'm always down to show another photographer some cool places.
NEED A SECOND SHOOTER?
I also work as a second photographer for weddings, events, and larger productions.
I shoot on Fujifilm X-T5 bodies with dual SD card recording, and I'm comfortable working alongside another photographer's timeline, shot list, and creative direction.
I can photograph candids, details, alternate angles, guest coverage, portraits, reception coverage, and whatever else helps you focus on being the primary photographer.
If you're a photographer who needs an extra set of eyes and another camera, reach out with the date and what you need.
Second shooting rates available upon request.
VIDEOGRAPHERS + OTHER CREATIVE TEAMS
I'm a photographer first, and I don't personally offer videography.
But I really enjoy working alongside people who do.
If you're a videographer, filmmaker, stylist, makeup artist, designer, florist, planner, or another creative professional and you're interested in working together, I'd love to connect.
I'm also building a network of creatives I trust so I can refer clients when they need something I don't offer.
Good people sending good people work. That's the idea.
THE OREGON COAST
COME MAKE SOMETHING OUT HERE.
A lot of my personal and creative work happens along the Oregon Coast.
And I know it pretty damn well.
Not just Cannon Beach.
I've spent a lot of time scouting beaches, forests, overlooks, cliffs, dunes, coves, trails, and weird little pockets of coastline that can completely change the feeling of a shoot.
If you're a photographer, model, or creative visiting Oregon and want to put something together on the coast, reach out.
Tell me the vibe you're chasing and we'll see where it takes us.
FILM
Yeah, I shoot film too.
I love slowing things down every once in a while and making photographs without immediately looking at the back of the camera.
If you're a photographer who shoots film, a model interested in adding film to your portfolio, or someone who just wants to experiment with it, I'm always interested in incorporating film into creative projects.
35mm, medium format, digital, whatever.
The camera is just the tool. Let's make something worth looking at.
HAVE A PROJECT?
You don't need a polished pitch deck.
Send me your mood board. Send me your Pinterest board. Send me the sketch you made at 1 AM. Send me three photos and say, "something kinda like this."
Tell me:
Who you are.
What you make.
What you're thinking.
Where you want to shoot.
And roughly when you're available.
If it feels like something we should make together, we'll go from there.
PHOTOGRAPHERS. MODELS. ARTISTS. WEIRDOS.
LET'S CREATE SOMETHING.
