Hi, I'm Colt

Chicago raised me. Kansas City kept me.

I picked up a camera over a decade ago and never found a good reason to put it down. What started at basement shows and open mics turned into work with Rolling Stone, Vogue, Billboard, NBC News, and Variety.

I chase the stuff most people walk past — the split-second glance, the backstage chaos, the quiet moment right before everything gets loud. Whether it's a portrait session, a sold-out arena, or a brand campaign, I'm after the same thing: something real.

If you need photos that feel like they actually happened — not like someone posed for stock footage — we should probably talk.
