Chicago Anniversary Photographers

My name is Ian Nelson and I am a Portrait, Food, product and Event Photographer. I have an incredible passion for Photography and it shows. I love what I do.

I have been doing photography for as long as I can remember. When I was 10 years old, my father gifted me my first camera, a lime green FujiFilm point-and-shoot, which I took everywhere with me. ​ Now, with an unwavering passion, I strive to capture the beauty of the outdoors and the natural world that surrounds us—nature's breathtaking landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and captivating wildlife fuel my creative spirit. Through my lens, I aim to preserve these awe-inspiring moments and share them with the world. ​ In addition to the wonders of nature, I am equally fascinated by the beauty of human beings. I believe every individual carries a unique essence that deserves to be celebrated and immortalized in photographs. I seek to capture the genuine emotions, connections, and stories that define us as human beings. ​ Through my photography, I endeavor to create art that encapsulates both the stunning allure of the natural world and the inherent beauty within humanity. I am driven by the belief that these images can inspire a deeper appreciation for all life's interconnectedness and motivate others to safeguard the precious gift of nature we have been entrusted with. ​
