About

Hey, I’m Colin — a travel photographer from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. I grew up around lakes, forests, and beautiful lakeshore, which naturally led me to pick up a camera a few years back. Since then Ive found a deeper appreciation for the opportunity to travel and document so many places.

For the past four years, I’ve been focused on combining travel and photography to work with brands, tourism boards, and businesses that want real, high-quality visual content. Whether it’s showcasing a product in the wild or capturing the beauty of a destination, I’m all about creating visuals that feel grounded and authentic.

These days, I’m working toward doing this full-time — blending travel and photography to work with brands and businesses in the creative space around the world. I’m big on natural light, soft tones, and letting the environment do the heavy lifting.

I also love freelancing and jumping into unique projects. It all starts with an idea — if that sounds like you, hit the contact page and let’s talk.
