In 2014, I founded AsYouAre Images. As the head photographer and founder, I wanted to be surrounded by positive, kickass collaborators (models, assistants, second photographers, retouchers, office assistant). That’s why the AsYouAre crew is formed of me (wearing many hats) and passionate, loving, and creative freelancers – no fuss, no divas! Together, we form a positive and energetic team, working in together to co-create images with soul.
If you have a vision, we’ll make it happen. We’ll take care of the many, many steps required to get the photography your business will love to use.

Our Values
Our Quality standard:
Quality is key. In order to deliver images that look great at any size we use top of the line cameras and lenses.
Photography: We work with full-frame Sony a7R III camera with Sigma and prime lenses
Video: We shoot 4K video using a stabilizing gimbal. Stay tuned for more video content.
Aerial photography: Using a small but mighty Drone, we can produce 4k footage with a unique perspective.
Responsible images:
We believe that the images we distribute have an impact on those who see them. Here’s how we pride ourselves in producing responsible imagery.
Authenticity: We work with real people of all ethnicities and age in real environments
Real bodies: We don’t work with underweight models because we believe that they don’t represent a healthy standard for viewers
Ethical retouching: We NEVER alter body shapes. We do remove temporary imperfection like stray hair or pimples but we believe that shapes and expression lines are part of the human charm, so why remove them?!
