Hi, My Name is Nathan.

I’m a photographer based in Dacono, Colorado.

I photograph people, places, cars, weather, roadside stuff, family life, and whatever else catches me when I have a camera on me. Some of that work is commissioned — portraits, events, branding, and projects for businesses and organizations. The rest comes from personal projects and the habit of always paying attention.

I’ve been making photographs for over a decade, and I still like the same basic thing: finding something ordinary and trying to make a picture that feels alive, specific, and worth coming back to.

I live in Northern Colorado with my wife and our three kids. When I’m not working, I’m usually camping, listening to music, messing with a project around the house, or bringing a camera somewhere I probably didn’t need to
