Specialization

Editorial · Portrait · Lifestyle · Wedding · Video

I'm Com, a self-taught photographer and videographer based in Milwaukee. I make pictures and films for brands and people I believe in: campaigns, editorial, lookbooks, lifestyle, and weddings.

I helped scale Unfinished Legacy from a Milwaukee idea into a global clothing brand, and helped grow its flagship store in the Third Ward into a fixture of the city. I've worked with the Brewers, the Bucks, the Milwaukee Art Museum, and lensed a campaign for a candidate running for governor.

I've spent years studying what builds brands and testing what I learn against real work, which means I show up with more than a camera. I understand the market, the audience, and how supply and demand actually move a brand forward.

I work end to end: concept, capture, delivery. The work ships polished, on brand, and on time. If it's worth shooting, I want to see it.

Editorial

Brand campaigns and editorial for the people building things in Milwaukee and beyond. Editorial is more than the product, it's how the brand looks, feels, and lives in the world.

Strategy
& Curation

Other than shooting, I help brands look like themselves online. Feed direction, campaign rollouts, curation, social strategy. The two pages below are my longest case study, a Milwaukee idea I helped grow into a global clothing brand.

Portraits

Whether it's a 35mm film roll on a Saturday afternoon or a controlled studio session, my goal is the same: make the person feel seen, then make a picture they're proud of.

Lifestyle

Quiet rooms, late-night drives, a dog in the dandelions, a friend across the table. Lifestyle is the in-between, the world a brand or person actually lives in.

Wedding

The quiet between vows. The arm pulling closer. A walk through the garden when no one's watching. Weddings get the same patient eye as everything else, let me document the day the way you'll want to remember it.
