About
Portraits, athletics, and stage events are my specialties!
Whether it is an portrait for individuals, couples, families, pets, corporate/organization staff, graduates, or engagements, we excel at capturing the subject in the the most flattering way. I can accomodate an on-site portrait session at your home or business, or find an outdoor location that suits your needs.
For all levels of athletes, from first-timers to pros, I capture all the action! I cover baseball, football, basketball, hockey, rugby, lacrosse, tennis, golf and all other sports.
I am also highly experienced at concert/stage photography! I will capture the mood and energy of bands, performers, plays, musicals, and anything else on a stage!
Please view my work at www.BradsEyeView.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
It is simple: I love meeting people and providing them with memories that will last a lifetime. Probably one of the most joyful activities for me is to photograph youth sports to give parents/families memories that they would otherwise not be able to get. But this is also true for every subject I photograph.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have a conversation with the principal consumers of my work to understand their needs and how best to capture the subject for which I am being hired.
I also like to make sure we are clear on the post-event process. Things like how soon the final photos are needed, in what format(s) are the final images to be delivered, how are the images to be delivered, etc.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been a sports and concert/event photographer ever since I was in college, covering sports for the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have also photographed hundreds of weddings and other events. I started out long before digital photography was the norm and made the transition to digital many years ago once it became mainstream.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Usual pricing is by the hour unless the need is for a specific number of photos in which case the pricing can be determined per image.
How did you get started in this business?
I was a self-taught photographer when I was a teenager--well before digital photography. I took copious notes of every frame I shot so that I could see the results based on the settings I used.
Over the years I honed my skills by learning from more experienced pros and attending workshops/seminars.
