I’ve been shooting fashion shows in Chicago over the past year, and I keep seeing the same problem: designers don’t get clean, usable media on time.
Designers are the core customer of a fashion show.
No designers, no models.
No models, no work for photographers and videographers.
Some shows run tight with a clear schedule and deadlines.
Others feel like the wild wild west, with no brief and no plan for media.
Bravo 4 Media Group is my answer to that.
I’m building a crew that treats designers as the client and runs media like an operation: assigned positions, a pre‑show brief, and designer selects delivered within 48 hours.
Right now, I’m looking for serious photographers and videographers in the Chicagoland area who want real fashion show work in their portfolio and can follow tight guidelines.
I’m especially looking for female shooters for backstage and BTS, because there’s a real lack of women covering that side of fashion.
If that sounds like you, hit the link in my bio, fill out the form, and tell me about your experience and your setup.
I’ll reach out before upcoming shows so we can give these designers the coverage they actually deserve

Straight out of camera. We worked through every expression — one of these she's "mad" at me, one she's thinking about pizza, and one she's definitely thinking about an Aston Martin. Olivia Haffner is a natural. This is just one look from a 4-hour session. Lot more to come.

Chicago with one of my favorite humans.

Last day in town we did Wendella, London House, and the Mag Mile and I basically spent the whole time chasing her around with a camera.

When your friends look like this, you don’t ‘hang out’… you accidentally shoot a full campaign.

Planned shoot with Olivia, Hope, and Maggie in Ella Zeitoune via Rent the Runway. Hair and makeup by Merary Makeup. The Emily Hotel was our set, and these are just three amazing looks for each model.

Shots are straight-out-of-camera JPEGs on a Reggie’s Superia–inspired Classic Neg recipe, grainy on purpose for that classic film feel.

Huge shoutout to Merary for being the All-Star of the day and helping us work through a few last‑minute wrinkles so we could keep shooting. More images to come.

Of these nine, what’s your favorite let me know in the comments

I thought he would enjoy his pool more.

1. First Christian Church tower rising over the playground at sunset, that long brick campanile throwing a shadow across the lawn.
2. Henry Moore’s “Large Arch” framing First Christian Church and its tower, modern art and modern architecture sharing the same small-town street corner.
3. Straight-down view of the “Large Arch” plaza, a bronze form sitting in a perfect brick circle with concrete arcs and street lines cutting around it.
4. Irwin Gardens from above, a formal axis of hedges, fountains, and brick paths leading from the historic Irwin home into the heart of downtown.
5. North Christian Church roof from the air, a hexagon sliced into sharp triangular planes with the central spire anchoring a ring of trees and lawn.
6. First Christian Church in its city grid, the campanile and clean modern volumes sitting right inside a typical Midwestern downtown.
7. North Christian Church front elevation, low dark roof and needle-like spire pushing up out of the trees and manicured grass.
8. Bartholomew County Veterans Memorial at sunset, a tight 5×5 grid of limestone columns throwing long shadows in honor of local service members.

First photo of many more to come from yesterday’s “touristy photoshoot in Chicago”.

I was joking around yesterday that I should start a revenue stream where I follow families and individuals around as a tour guide in Chicago and also act as their personal photographer for their trip.
