About us

My work is focused in two primary areas: architectural/interior photography and branding/promotional video production. I believe that it’s important to blend craft with an infusion of poetics into my work. My photographs and videos are provocative, created with storytelling in mind, and executed with the meticulous detail of an artisan.

Architecture and interiors photography is fueled by a passion and appreciation of exquisite design and function. Through our collaboration, I give you photographs that reflect the vision and philosophy you infused into the design of the space. The images allow you to create marketing pieces that communicate to your potential clients your individual approach and style, thereby differentiating you from your competitors.

My video work allows me to blend creativity with astute business acumen. I’m strong in quickly analyzing the brand message and value proposition. From there, I employ storytelling video production to develop and execute visual strategies that support brand messaging. I’m a collaborator, eager to work with branding professionals in co-authoring the end product. I may be hired as a Director in developing treatment and strategy, and/or as a Producer to execute a previously written and designed video message. With exposure to a wide breadth of industries, I enjoy the research that comes with really "digging-in" to learn about an organization's methodology, philosophy and culture. Transforming that understanding into visual communication is what keeps me interested, motivated and challenged.

What Our Clients Said

Emilio came highly recommended by a high-end graphic design firm. He was everything my contact promised and more. He was prompt and efficient. He had a nice, easy manner that put his subjects at ease. His photography was beautiful, and his ability to touch up photographs in just the right way makes everyone look natural and beautiful.

Kim Rosengren, Chief Marketing Officer - Aldera Corporation

Emilio was a pleasure to work with for our annual reports. He took the time to really understand our vision and needs and perfectly capture our annual report themes. He put clients who are dealing with difficult issues such as homelessness and poverty at ease – not an easy fete! He also worked within our tight timeframe to turn our photos around quickly so we could meet our production deadlines. The images absolutely made our annual report come alive and we are so grateful for his excellent work. We were thrilled that with his help we were able to win the 2013 Chicago Public Relations Society of the Year Nonprofit Annual Report Award of Excellence – I know his photos made all the difference in the report. -Kristine Kappel, Director of Communications, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago

You truly know how to get to the essence of it all and provide a clear direction for moving forward. You bring so much more to the table than just “still and video imaging”.

Thank you again for all your hard work and the wealth of service you contributed to our project.
