Born and raised in the tanned, cradling arms of Southern California, I began shooting photos in high school. The shoot anything and everything phase. With minimal technical awareness, I began photographing friends, girlfriends, events, outings, landscapes, portraits, nature, infrastructure– anything I could point a camera at. At the same time, a love for surfing– no, scratch that– an obsession with surfing began to lead me on international excursions, kickstarting my insatiable desire to travel.

Travel has shaped the way I see the world and the way I create. Experiencing the energy of beaches from Australia to Nicaragua, Thailand to Chile, has taught me to move with the light, anticipate moments, and find beauty in unexpected places—lessons I bring to every branding sessions, making sure your story feels authentic no matter the backdrop.

Welcome, I'm ethan

After graduating from UCSB, I put down roots and have called Santa Barbara my home for nearly 10 years. As a branding photographer & videographer, I help creatives and entrepreneurs turn their ideas into visuals that actually work. No awkward poses, no “what do I even do with this content?” moments—just imagery that feels like you and makes your brand shine.

Creating an image of your brand to show the world is important, but it doesn’t need to be daunting. The process should be exciting and collaborative, so let’s make it come to life together.
