portrait photography
My name is John Axton. I am a portrait photographer looking for people who appreciate a clean, dramatic or editorial aesthetic. I specialize in portraits set outdoors or at event venues and appreciate posed and intentional photo shoots.
If this sounds like something for you, then I would love to work with you!
Please fill out the form below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
DRAMATIC
My dramatic looks involve bold, punchy colors, loud posing, and bright clean editing.
This style works well for someone who has a loud outfit or wants something highly stylized.
EDITORIAL
My editorial look is more subtle and has a classic, vintage look. It involves clean smooth lighting and softer poses.
This suits someone who has a more traditional outfit or wants a calmer aesthetic.
DRAMATIC BAND
I shoot most band and activities in a bold, dramatic fashion. This styles emphasizes movement, activity, and the inherent performative nature of events.
This is best suited to people who are looking for photos that can be used to market their bands, sports, or activities.
Frequently Asked Questions
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
First of all, how exciting for you! Photoshoots can be quite intimidating and ask you to be quite vulnerable. It is normal for them to be awkward, but don't worry because I will work to make the experience as smooth as possible.
You should bring an outfit that you love and makes you comfortable, but also accentuates a feature you have such as your hair, your eye color, or complexion.

Yes, depending on the nature of the event or the activity. I love shooting bands, sports, and dance; however, I do not do direct coverage of these events.

No they are not included in the package.
How long does it take to get our photos?
My normal turn over is 2-3 weeks for image processing and editing. This can take longer depending on the scope of the shoot.
