Split Rock Lighthouse, North Shore, Minnesota Minneapolis, Minnesota

Landscape photography from Minnesota and the North Shore

I was given a camera in seventh grade and have been photographing ever since — first on a cheap body, then on a proper one once I started taking it seriously.

Most of what I shoot is landscape: waterfalls, the North Shore, farmland, the city in winter. I also photograph weddings and portraits, and I travel for both.

What clients say

Needing to make an impression across a wide audience, I needed someone who was flexible in shooting locations and was able to deliver an excellent product which could cement the image I wished to show. Ethan was not only able to deliver an excellent product, but he was also efficient in turnaround, knowledgeable in best practices of photography, and worked with me in designing shots which matched what I desired. It is clear that Ethan is the best option when it comes to high-stakes quality photography.

Aiden VanBeck

Ethan was super fun to work with! He did some headshots for me and they look absolutely amazing. He made the process super quick and easy, and helped me execute my vision!

Taylor

I've gone on a few shoots with Ethan, and every time it's quite the experience, in the best way possible! He knows lots of very scenic areas around the twin cities, and wherever he goes he can make a landscape shine. Every shoot is different, and I think that's cool because he not only experiments with shot technique but equipment technique too! He's professional, knows how to get those perfect shots, and can edit them just as good, if not better! I highly recommend his service!
