photographer • graphic designer • video editor • video animator

HI, I’m Nathan.

I’m an award-winning photographer, designer & video editor based in Durango, Colorado.

My photography has been published in Cosmopolitan UK, Essence Magazine, Austin Monthly, and the Austin American Statesman among countless online publications, and in my various roles I’ve worked with organizations such as Actions Against Hunger, Aspen Institute, The National Council of Jewish Women, The University of Texas at Austin, and many musicians and artists.

I have a passion for working with nonprofits and B-corps who better the world we live in, as well as artists & musicians who are doing the same, and my favorite projects are ones that allow me to combine my photography, design & communication skills to help clients deliver their message.

I love black & white photography, Oxford commas, delicious typefaces, baking bread at altitude, cycling, jazz, and camping in the Colorado Rockies with my life-person, Amy.

Currently, I work in video & graphic design full-time, but I take a limited number of free-lance projects each year.

Say Hello.


I’d love to hear about how I can help with your next project, swap bread recipes, or get cute videos of your dog.
