Product Photography
Yes, my tag line is Curious Photography, so you’ll find a lot of “outside the box” stuff here. (For instance, that thing just below is a suction-cup hook for a shower that looks like it was designed by NASA.)
Most of the images I make in the studio for my clients are standard product and packaging shots, but what this gallery demonstrates is more about creative abilities and technical skills than subject matter—if it involves lights and pixels (and occasional whimsy), I’ll figure out a way to make it astonishing.
- Tabletop product and packaging shots (studio is only 300 square feet, so no motorcycles or large alligators)
- From traditional to wildly creative
- High-end post-processing and compositing

These are difficult times—I’ll make the product photography workflow easy
Ship
After consultation and contracting, you provide a brief for your products, outlining all your concepts and parameters, and ship the products to my studio.
Shoot
I shoot each product according to your specs, upload each image to an online proofing service, respond to your feedback, and then prepare the final files.
Ship
When proofing is complete, you are delighted with the final images, have approved them, and paid the final invoice, I send you the files—and we plan the next shoot!
Post-Processing Wizardry
All you want in your product lifestyle shots is your stuff, but you gotta have props, right? Fear not, the editing magic happens every day at QuirkWorks!

Lifestyle Photography Gallery
I’ve been photographing people doing things since the 1980s. In the early decades, I specialized in high-risk sports like rock and ice climbing, and although I still shoot that stuff, most of my lifestyle work now I do in conjunction with my product photography work. Companies need photos of people using their products as much as shots of the products themselves—and the ability to shoot both means I can meet any need.
Here are some images to click through.
Lifestyle Case Study
I’ve been shooting the catalog and marketing images for Adventure Ready Brands since 2017.
Here is a link to the draft images from a lifestyle shoot I did for them in the summer of 2018 (shared with permission).
