CBsnaps Studio — Denver, Colorado

Fashion.
Editorial.
Commercial.

The other half of what I do. Built light, directed frames, and a file set your art director can actually use.

What I shoot

Capabilities

Four things,
done properly.

No packages, no tiers. Tell me the deliverables, the dates and the usage, and I’ll quote the job.

Every commission includes a licence written in plain English, and raw files stay archived for two years.

  1. 01

    Runway

    Shows front-of-house and backstage. Fast primes, no flash, files the same night if you need them.

  2. 02

    Lookbook

    Studio or location. Clean, repeatable frames built for a grid and a line sheet.

  3. 03

    Campaign

    Concepted and art-directed with your team. Full usage negotiated up front, never bolted on later.

  4. 04

    Portrait

    Founders, artists, talent. One light or five, depending on what the face needs.

The edit

Half the job happens after the shutter.

A parking garage at four in the afternoon, two fluorescent battens and no modifiers. The frame was always there — the grade is what made anyone look twice.

The second one wanted something else entirely: a room full of things nobody needed to see, taken away until only the horse and the light were left.

The third came out of the venue dark and flat. Everything that happened to it afterwards is warmth.
