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.
I provide photography and promotional videos to his sector that is fueled by a passion and appreciation of exquisite design and function. Through collaboration, I work with design professionals in crafting and producing photographs that reflect the vision and philosophy that they have infused into the design of the space. The images allow my clients to create marketing pieces that communicate to their potential clients an individual approach and style, thereby differentiating themselves from competitors.
My branding 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 and photography to develop and execute visual strategies that support brand messaging. I enjoy working with other 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 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 Clients Are Saying
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Emilio on the photo shoots of two of our most recent projects. Emilio is a very professional, conscientious and talented photographer. I was very impressed with Emilio’s professionalism from our first conversation. He included a scout day for both projects to check the lighting and the existing conditions. As anyone knows who has worked in the photography business, the more prepared you are for the day of the shoot, the better. Photo shoot days are fun but, also long days & hard work. Emilio was prepared. Each project presented different challenges with available light, windows, shadows, reflections etc. Emilio listened to what we needed to see in the photos & documented the story of our projects very well. He handled the technical issues on set and in post production. The photographs of both projects speak for themselves. Thank you for a job well done, Emilio!

John Mathis, VP Broadcast Production - AnsiraEmilio 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 CorporationEmilio 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
