camera Canon EOS 5D Mark III

I love to create! I have been taking photos for about 8 years now, started taking it more seriously about 4 years ago. I have traveled across the country in cars older than I am with one goal in mind - To capture beautiful, real, genuine moments of people and the world they are living in. There is no better way to train or practice photography than driving 5000+ miles and seeing nearly every sunrise and sunset over a 3-week period. I have lately been shooting live concerts and events, in addition to working on studio work with some of these artists.

Say hello! I'm Antwon M., your friendly neighborhood portrait photographer right here in Chicago. With over six wonderful years behind the camera, I absolutely love capturing real, happy moments for anyone – whether you're by yourself, with a few pals, or even a corporate group or team. What truly lights me up is getting to know new people; I believe there's something special and interesting in everyone, and I just enjoy helping you show off your best self, especially when you're celebrating something big or just feeling fantastic. I've been behind the camera for all sorts of fun sessions, from those proud graduation shots and friendly online matchmaker profiles to spiffy headshots for work, and even cool photos around Chicago's favorite spots. I always make sure each shoot is uniquely 'you' and super enjoyable. Plus, every great photo adventure with me kicks off with a relaxed chat over the phone, just to say hello, share ideas, and make sure we're both excited for the big day!

How did you get started with photography

I started as a photographer as a child due to my great grandmother having a massive collection of cameras she purchased at yard sales. I was fascinated with being able to freeze moments in time. I became a professional paid photographer and cinematographer in the early 2000's. I have shot everything from family portraits, commercial and residential real estate, behind the scenes in Hollywood film, fashion, lifestyle, editorial, and street.

What do you love about your job?

I love putting my signature on everything I shoot. I love the smile on each and every clients face when they see the final product. I love to work autonomously and focus on details.

What are some of your favorite places in Chicago to take photographs?

In Los Angeles, downtown was without a doubt my favorite place to shoot. In Chicago, I love to shoot downtown as well.
