Whether you need a

photographer to capture

your special moments

or content for company marketing

– we can help.

Oliver has spent many years developing the skills necessary to offer a wide array of services. Long gone are the days of unnaturally posed photography and poor lighting. We separate ourselves from the competition by capturing genuine moments and memories while deploying techniques that exercise skills that taken thousands of hours to perfect.

Whether it is a simple wedding, an extravagant expo, or even mundane products, Aperture Life treats every project as an opportunity to create not just photographs, but art.

Wedding

Capturing natural moments, focusing on emotion, with photographs that not only portrays this special day, but tells a story. In pursuit to capture genuine emotion, the approach to photography is to capture moments and not to create them.

Nothing is by accident with every aspect; from focal length, angle, and lighting technique deployed; being an intentional integration to create an artistic style that Aperture Life prides in have developing over a decade of photography experience.

Commercial

Being a published photographer for large media syndication with companies like the Orange County Register, ESPN, IGN (Imagine Games Network), and Fox Media, we have developed a style that has set our clients above the competition.

We create media content for marketing campaigns and promotional materials encompassing all marketing and sales needs. We provide media of the highest level to ensure our clients maintain an advantage over their competition.

Travel

Having spent 2-years at sea traveling the world on ships, our team has had the opportunity to explore the world no regular tourist. Delving deep into the many cultures and environments the world has to offer, we are able to share the beauty this planet has to offer.

The practice of destination photography is an exercise in patience, as the moment in any given scene is ever changing, every year, day, and second. Capturing that perfect moment to show the true beauty of a destination takes tenacity and perseverance shown in our work.

Real Estate

My journey into the niche to set myself apart from the run-n-gun, ultra wide angle, HDR, giveaway artists by creating images that are natural looking without the over processed look. My approach to Real Estate Photography is a combination of natural ambient light and indirect global bounced flash – blended and masked together for a finished product.

To create images that set you apart from the competition you must understand the techniques applied and create art that really shines.

Principal Photographer

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.

What you have caught on film is captured forever…

It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
