Macro photography · Columbus, Ohio

Small subjects deserve a serious photograph.

Macro and product photography for jewelry, objects, materials, makers, and the tiny worlds hiding in plain sight, made with careful light, controlled focus, and a point of view that rewards looking closer.

Scale changes the story

Detail can be the subject.

Jewelry, water, insects, flowers, textures, and the strange little structures hiding in plain sight. The work combines careful lighting, deliberate focus, close-up technique, and focus stacking when the subject calls for it.

Have something worth looking at closer?

Let’s get unreasonably close.

Tell me what you’re planning and what matters most to you. You don’t need to have every detail figured out.

I’ll keep the process clear, comfortable, and easy from the first conversation to the final images. I’ll pay attention to the little things so you don’t have to.

I’ll follow up with availability, pricing, and next steps.
