Esther and the Exiles

I met Esther and the Exiles at a tradeshow, and having played in a band in my youth; I am always interested in new artists and sounds. I started to talk to Esther about their music and vision. As a passionate photographer I was interested in providing my creative vision of the band, so put the offer on the table that when they are ready, let’s go have some fun.

Back in February 2020, the band and I met at Camp North End, a perfect location to create some unique magic. The site was once used to produce Model Ts and Army missiles; this 76-acre historic industrial site now serves as a hub for creativity and innovation in the heart of Charlotte.

About My Photography

My photography captures a moment in time - a split-second that remains locked in time often abstracted and completely random. It is in these moments I see potential element, shape, abstraction, and life in colour, inspiration before the moment fades to grey into the past disappearing forever.

My creative portrait photography services provide a beautiful and unique perspective of people with passion and imagination that will have your portfolio catching the eye of family, friends and the world. Take a look around at my work, I promise you'll find yourself in wonder of the possibilities for you.

Unique, Creative Style and Artistic Vision!
{Darren did a photoshoot for me and the experience was outstanding. Prior to the shoot, he asked what I was looking to get from the photos and where I would be using them. In my case, they were for social media profiles. He thought of some great locations, took the pictures, and delivered the finals promptly. I can’t say enough about his professionalism and creativity. But all of that shines through in his finished product and his work speaks for itself.
