How happy are you when you look at your business photos?
People instantly judge your business by the quality of your photos. It’s one of the first touch points of your brand, where people are deciding the caliber and integrity of your company.
Photos allow potential customers and clients to imagine what it's like working with you. So if your photos are predictable or unprofessional, it could be seriously holding you back.
Levelling up is easier than you think…
Commercial Photography
I create professional, beautiful photos that are connected to your ROI. I do this by understanding your business challenges, and coming up with a strategy to utilize photos to help you solve those challenges.
Here’s what you get…
photography with purpose
I use photography as a creative strategy to help you solve business challenges. I also specialize in capturing photographs that bring the heart and soul back into your business. If you're hiring someone to just hold a camera and execute your idea, as opposed to contribute and expand your idea, you're missing out on half of the potential.
experience in business
In addition to being a professional photographer, I have 15 years of background in strategic marketing and business experience. I will first make sure I fully understand your problem and then tell you how, if this was my business, how I would utilize photography to best solve that problem.
Honest feedback
Lots of photographers are too easy to work with. They will do whatever you want… but that does not necessarily get you to your goal. I know when to put my foot down, and keep us focused on the good ideas. I’ve saved thousands of dollars and countless hours, simply by saying no to bad ideas
How it works
1. UNDERSTANDING YOUR BUSINESS GOALS
What is the problem?
What is the opportunity?
What you are trying to accomplish?
We chat about your business, what your goals are, and any initial concepts or ideas you might have. I also would need to know your constraints such as budget and timeline.
2. RESEARCH & PROPOSAL
I present you with a strategy that utilizes professional photography to help you get closer to your customers, including the type of shoot and what it would cost. What is your market currently doing? If this were my business, how would I proceed?
3. MAKING MAGIC (EXECUTING THE PLAN)
I execute your vision so that it has the highest chance of succeeding.
Is commercial photography right for you?
Ultimately, I only want to work on photography projects that are ultimately successful for people. Book a free intro call with me so I can learn more about what you have in mind.
Not all clients need photography — sometimes a simple blog post might be the best solution for you. But the best way to know if photography is the right option for you is to book a call with me, so we can discuss whether this is what your business needs.
I’m also happy to answer any and all questions you may have for me.

"I haven't laughed so hard, felt so comfortable and learned so much about myself in a long time. Darius is a gifted photographer but also, he's just a straight up amazing person, which makes it easy to connect with him and the camera.
Thanks brother, loved the session!"
- Dan Hashemi
“Never in my life have I felt so comfortable in front of a camera or so blown away by the images that were captured. I wanted to do the shoot for my birthday - my 39th birthday - and wanted to capture how I show up in the world with the strength and wisdom I've gathered in life so far. The photos show that and so much more, and it was all due to the fantastic experience that Darius created and allowed me to create with him.
Darius didn't just start shooting, he walked me through the whole process, explained techniques and angles - he basically gave me a little class in how to be a model, it was extraordinary. The shoot was so relaxing and so much fun that I was disappointed when it was time to stop! I wanted to keep trying new things and taking more pictures! I can't wait to come back next year and do a shoot for my 40th birthday!"
- Kristin Dorsey
"Darius is great - a lot of attention to detail and capturing the personal, human element of portraits. Appreciate your thought and input, and always love your openness to feedback!"
- Gloria Chik
"Darius is a true artist. He loves his craft, pays attention to the details and has a heart of gold. It was fun shooting with him!"
- UJ Ramdas
"Two words: next level. Darius isn't a photographer, he is a psychedelic-sherpa-shaman with a very expensive camera and years of filming experience. Our 3hr session was really a guided meditation that brought me so much awareness around my thoughts and physical patterns (on & off camera). I intend on visiting him once a year.
Darius, have you thought of a 10-year membership plan?"
- Majid Hashemi
“Darius was an incredible photographer to work with. Easy going, let me pick my play list :) and killed it on the lighting front. I'm stoked to have these portrait images in my back pocket for media requests and head shot asks.
Thanks so much, D and I'd 100% book with you again.”
