Great photography does more than look good. It builds trust, tells stories, and elevates your professional presence.

I work with businesses, nonprofits, and professionals who understand that investing in quality photography is investing in their brand.

Headshots that make the right first impression. Event coverage that captures your success stories. Editorial photography that brings your vision to life.

Whether it's professional headshots for your team or coverage for your upcoming event, let's connect.

After 10 years, my website was desperately overdue for a refresh.
Here's the thing about freelance photography: when you're busy shooting, editing, and running the business, your own marketing always gets pushed to the bottom of the list. I used this slow season (fingers crossed for fewer of those in the future) to finally make it happen.

I'm excited to unveil the new PhotoEP.com.
The new site features:

✓ Updated portfolio showcasing recent work
✓ Interactive pricing calculators
✓ Easier navigation and contact

Next time you need photography coverage for an event, portraits, or anything in between, I hope you'll think of me.

Lucky enough to have photos on the the cover of both North Shore and Chicago Editions of Real Producer magazines this month.

Looking back on a fantastic year of collaborating with North Shore Real Producers Magazine! I've had the pleasure of photographing so many incredible people who make the North Shore Chicagoland real estate scene thrive. Here's a small selection of portraits I took in 2024.

Very fortunate to be hired to Photograph the DNC Delegate welcome party. Here are some selections from my coverage of the DNC Delegate welcome Party at .

A dear friend of mine is leaving a company after 19 years and asked me to take new headshots for her new chapter as she starts a new job. I feel honored to be a part of this journey and wish her all the best as she moves forward to her new venture.

Even before Elliot Powell chose to be a full-time professional photographer and establish his business—Elliot Powell, Photographer—the quality of his images and ease of working with him have been making clients take notice.

Elliot specializes in portrait and event photography, and he takes most pride in the fact that he excels at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in genuine, candid photos; as well as his ability to capture the essence of an event and narrate its story through his lens.

But perhaps his ability should come as no surprise: Elliot’s been immersed in the art of photography his whole life. The son of a photographer and graphic designer, Elliot found his passion for the camera at an early age and was encouraged, not only by
his father but by his extended family. “The art of photography is a major part of my family’s heritage, and each member that has taken it up has forged their own style,” Elliot says. Many of his relatives, including aunts, uncles, and cousins, have excelled in various other creative fields too. It was this nurturing environment that fostered his passion, and he began a photography business in high school.

Had the opportunity to shoot a portrait of an old coworker from back in my 9-5 days. He was in need of an author photo for a book he's written. I was able to put some techniques I've been thinking about into practice and got some good results. I am really proud of these.

and I Won art from and at has been such a welcoming environment. And makes me feel energized every time I go.
