I create Portraits with you, for you.
“If beauty was only skin-deep, every photograph would reveal the same personality. I create portraits. An artistic expression that goes past the outer layer, beyond first impressions and into the abyss of one’s defining essence.” - Carl Caylor
What is the difference between a picture and a portrait you ask?
A picture is a click in time. An unplanned screen capture of what was in front of the camera at a given moment.
A portrait is a click in time as well, but with a far deeper meaning and created with a purpose. It's a visual storytelling masterpiece. It goes beyond the surface, revealing the personality, character, and emotion in that very moment. With artistic finesse, a portrait adds depth, making the subject come alive with dimensions and colors that feel just right. It's a balance between capturing who the subject is and their story within that scene.

Hi there!
I am Carl. I am traditionally trained but well versed in modern ideas and visions. My background in photographic printing assures you the best hand-crafted products in the industry. I still believe in the printed photograph and I custom print and stretch most of my work onsite. Fear not all you digital file folks. I have you covered as well. There are options here and no packages - you order what you need.
